Arkhamaniacs

4 out of 5 stars

Little Bruce Wayne meets some strange tenants in an apartment building owned by Wayne Enterprises. The Joker, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Penguin, and all the classic villains are young people and children, and Commissioner Gordon is the supervisor of the apartments. The villains only want to have fun and play games with little Brucie! But Alfred insists that they should follow the rules and not make trouble.

I liked the comedy in this comic! The Joker is always getting up to crazy hijinks, and dragging Bruce along. They get up an insane game of pirates at a pool party, and that is the perfect backdrop for some truly hilarious adventures.

I like the pacing of the book, and there is plenty of action and silliness to keep your interest.

I think it is interesting that the villains are not evil; they are just outlandish and wild. There is some sweet character development, especially for Bruce. The plot does a good job of balancing a lot of different characters. They are all memorable and fun!

I love the colorful art style! It really draws the reader into the story. The colors are so bright and fun. I love the funny expressions on the characters’ faces and the costume changes that they do in the imaginary pirate game.

It’s a fun story and I enjoyed reading it (even as an adult)!
