4.75

4.75 stars on this one. I can't quite give it 5 since I don't love the Joker's look and I haven't read the rest of the series, but this was as good a single issue as any comic I've read so far. The art overall is absolutely terrific, and the writing is just as good. There's quite a lot to unpack in this one, and I am seriously considering just buying the hardcover edition of the whole story and not just looking for the single issues, because I really want to know where this goes and I feel like the quality is good enough to warrant a hardcover purchase. Truly a terrific effort through and through.
