Batman: The Killing Joke

Story
I vaguely knew the details of Oracle's origins but had never realized this was the book where it began. I only recently heard the title in a clip of the panel at NYCC this year introducing Troy Baker as the Joker a few weeks back.

Unfortunately the book didn't really live up to the performance Mr. Baker gave for me. Overall the story just didn't do much for me, and the ending just felt abrupt and bizarre. To me more seems to come from the aftermath of the events in this book, than the book itself.

Still since it's a one-shot it's pretty quick, and probably worth checking out for Batman fans out there that haven't read it yet.

Artwork
I read the anniversary edition of this book, which had the colors redone by the original artist. Since I never read the original I can't compare the two, but I enjoyed the artwork and colors in this edition.
