Joker's Asylum: Joker #1
The first issue from this interesting concept for a series focuses on, of course, the Joker and it's a good Joker story at that. Its a study of what the Joker contributes to the world of Batman. There is a bit of a twist to this so it's refreshing and somewhat atypical, particularly for it's lack of violence. The art is nothing great, but Alex Sanchez draws a half decent close-up Joker in a manic doodle kind of a style but reveals his weaknesses when drawing wide shots.
This book probably won't blow you away but it's a decent start to an intriguing series.
Manhunter #32
In this issue of Manhunter Marc Andreyko steers us deeper still into a plot laced with real-world crime and political and social issues without ignoring the fun superheroics that make this book great! The subplot indirectly involving the Joker are handle adeptly and the pencils by Gaydos fit the tone of the book to a tee.
If you like street smart crime stories that you don't have to turn off your brain to enjoy, read Manhunter. It's probably the best DC book you're not reading.
