Oh... you!

Dear readers, it is now time for a little confession: I am a big comic fan... but do wipe your stupid grins off your faces! I didn't say I was a jerk or what the Japanese too kindly call an Otaku. I read only sensible stuff because yes, quality does exist in comics too... It is only my opinion, of course, but I would strongly recommend the following titles to newcomers.
*
100 Bullets (vertigo Comics)
**
The Exterminators (Vertigo Comics)
***
The Sandman (Vertigo Comics)
If you are a little low on money (god damn it, even penniless bums have the internet nowadays^^) and wish to pick only one title, it definitely ought to be the Sandman, a real classic reaching far beyond the all too narrow so-termed comic world. I hate that otaku-like denomination by the way, since it so heavily implies reading comics is for jerks only, people out of the 'normal' social sphere. This is kind of ironic when one looks at what brainless sluts feed on nowadays: shows like Skins or Gossip Girl don't even deserve to be called entertainment, let alone all of the real TV business... These are more like brainwashing sessions in between two advertisement spots. And this diarrheic propaganda really does a great job producing stupid girls who are just intelligent enough to shave their pussies and do their nails!
But let us move on to the core of this entry: my personal favourite comic character so far: The number 1 delightfully insane clown-psycho, I have named the J O K E R. As everyone knows - since the Dark Knight movie at least - it is the Batman's greatest and surely funniest foe. Of course, Batman certainly is a big cock-sucker and not much of a cool character but it is nonetheless well worth following his frolics with the Joker, as they are just pure genius. This evil character simply adds the little something that makes the story great. Be it his madness, his twisted sense of humour or his crazed fighting style, he just kicks every scenario trough the rooftop. All hail the Joker then... and lets slit some innocent throats! HAHAHA!
So, what should one read for a start? Here are some titles I particularly enjoyed.
*
Batman: The Killing Joke (Vertigo Comics)
**
Batman: The Joker Last Laugh (Vertigo Comics)
***
Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told (Vertigo Comics)
Also, don't forget to check out the Batman R.I.P. series as the Joker drawings really are mesmerising (a little twisted sample below).
Oh hell yes... what an amazing piece of art! Count me in for the tongue schnitt!
NB: You may want to check this out by now, DC official website. The Vertigo part is cool for more mature readers...
