![]() ![]() This book is pretty short, but actually very enjoyable. ![]() I like the alternate take on the Joker too, Jack the Grin, who is clearly the Joker but who also feels authentic to the 1930s/40s noir genre. The Bat is suitably antagonistic in regard to working with other heroes but the three main characters make for a nice balance of characters (even if they're hard to tell apart visually when they're out of costume). What we get here is a solid noir story which captures the spirit of elements of the DC Universe whilst also tapping nicely into the stories of the era its set in. His limited series Obergeist was voted Best Horror Comic of 2001 by Wizard magazine, and his DC Comics project JSA: The Unholy Three received an Eisner Award nomination for Best Limited Series of 2003. Thankfully, that's not the case with this story. Dan Jolley began his writing career in the early nineties. An Elseworlds story set in the Second World War which sees American special agent superheroes the Bat, the Clock and the Owl team-up to pursue Jack the Grin, who holds information about a secret Nazi superweapon.įor the most part I've found Elseworlds stories to range from bland to terrible, often going no further in their thinking than the (to rob a phrase from the competition) What If.? scenario their premise is based on. ![]()
