Batman Arkham Asylum

Dave Mckean is awesome!  That is all there is to say.  Batman Arkham Asylum was incredible.  It was so creepy and mildly disturbing at times but wow, what a true psychological thriller.  There was really very little to actually do with Batman.  Mainly it was all about the mind and the development of a historical, integral part of Batman lore.   Mckean was a perfect choice as the artist for this as well.  The entire story had an almost dream like state to it and Mckean's use of rough paint and collage really fit well into it.  There was very little action that took place in the book but it was so psychologically interesting and so creepy it kept me glued to the pages.  It's one of the best comics I've ever read.  It makes you think about all kinds of things that a person normally wouldn't want to think about like what makes us sane and what are our personal motives in life and what we do and think is right.  I loved this graphic novel.
