Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth Review

[MattyLaa]

Good job man, I just finished it today. Love the artwork and the story is sublime, but I found that I had to read the script to get the full idea of what was going on. Maybe that's a sign of my intelligence I don't know lol, but as good as the artwork is there are some panels which are incredibly hard to figure out what is going on and what it's trying to show. Thanks again for the review bro

@MattyLaa Thanks for watching and I can understand what you mean, at times the art can be a bit distracting, comics are visual mediums but a lot of artists also want to inject their own styles and flares that sometimes can distract or even confuse readers. This one is good at not doing it too often but no comic is perfect :)

[vivaladanisawsomes]

the art fits the story perfectly

[busorenkin8]

@vivaladanisawsomes Agreed.

Brilliant review, I'm glad that some people are more open to a non-traditional and more artistic, rather than formulaic, approach to sequential storytelling as opposed to pissing themselves that it isn't done in the generic pencil, pen & ink approach.

@RandomPromoter

Thanks, I like works that go outside the norm, whether it be in artistic value, story telling or anything else. :)

Usually when people say "if you liked this video, then subscribe" I don't listen. But I bought this book today, enjoyed it and you did a great job here.

[spazzzh20]

did you realize that in the game arkham asylum there's a painted jocker head ontop of a building which is referenceing the cover of the book.

 video game

[SuperJayNova]

I can't find this anywhere. Did you get your copy from a book store or did you order it online. I can't order stuff online so that's why I have been searching bookstores but no one has it.

[busorenkin8]

I just bought it from a store, sorry if you cant find it, you may have to have the store order it

[supermario2084]

I've definitely want to get this comic but the bookstores are sold out. If you have read Batman: Hush what are your thoughts on it? I've read some reviews on it any most people had nothing nice to say about it. I've heard that Year One is good if you haven't read it yet.

[busorenkin8]

Havent had a chance to read Hush yet, but I might have to now.

Year One is awesome, one of my favorite batman graphic novels

[ChrisTheThoroughest]

About how long is the book compared to other Batman graphic novels?

Lengthwise, would you say it's worth the money?

Good review, BTW.

[busorenkin8]

Not long, the anniversary edition just makes it longer, I would guess about 100 pages, maybe a little more if you get a different version. Lengthwise, I never judge by length. This graphic novel had an amazing story and some of the best art I've ever seen, so its worth the money if your a big Batman fan

[prime475]

The ending was my favorite part of the book.

[busorenkin8]

It was pretty good

[nathan0dts]

As a gamer, i'm excited for the videogame Arkham Asylum. It looks quite cool.

[busorenkin8]

Me too, I might even save some money so I can get a new system, so I can play that and RE5

[nathan0dts]

I really like the idea of having a PROPER Batman game. All other Batman games are very colourful and for children when that's simply what Batman isn't.

[theamazingferdie]

i played the demo of that its really good

[Kingjne92]

there's a demo for arkham asylum??

[theamazingferdie]

well i was playin it in gamestop and they had a demo level its pretty much a button smasher but its still good its got great graphics

[busorenkin8]

I saw the cut scene of bane, thats about it so far

[theamazingferdie]

i saw the joker speak and thats it... the demo was just fighting random thugs

[busorenkin8]

I was so excited, Mark Hamill is doing the voice of Joker!!!

[theamazingferdie]

really i didnt notice lol

[nathan0dts]

there is another one with Harley Quinn.

[theamazingferdie]

thanks for reviewing this man

[busorenkin8]

it was your choice 3rd place contest winner, so this is really, your video

[sephirothfromff7]

Another great review! I have actually been wondering if i should get this comic for awhile. I think i will. but first I might get some others, like Marvel 1602, kingdom Come, Batman R.I.P, etc.

[busorenkin8]

Thanks alot
