"The Killing Joke" reigns supreme in the world of comic books for a darn good reason. It's savage, raw, and manages to make you feel sorry for The Joker, of all people.

I keep coming back to this comic over and over because it's just so darn well-written and illustrated. Every time I read it, I'm left feeling uneasy yet totally blown away.
