Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness present an unforgettably twisted Superman story in SUPERMAN: EMPEROR JOKER.

In this topsy-turvy tale of a world gone wrong, the Man of Steel is a hunted villain, while his imperfect duplicate, Bizarro, is hailed as a champion. With the heroes of the JLA altered almost beyond recognition, it's up to Superman to help his allies rediscover their true selves in an incredible struggle against the Joker, Emperor of the Universe.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a Read!
Laugh out loud funny, touching and scary; this one has it all. If you have any history with DC, you will love it. If you don't, read it near someone you can ask.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Chaos reigns
My first impression of the book was "this makes no sense whatsoever!!!". Generally, when I have that reaction, I find it difficult to continue...but given that I knew this was "Emperor Joker" I plowed on bravely.

And I'm glad I did as the intricate insanity was unfolded. Indeed, this is to a tee what The Joker might do given powers such as Myx's. Some of the torturous deeds he unleashed were almost painful to witness.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Good Idea, Poor Execution
I picked up Emperor Joker because I heard it was a pretty solid story. Well I came in and expected a pretty good book and I came away disappointed. There were some good elements but, the Joker just wasn't what you expected in this he wasn't what you expect from him. The art wasn't bad but, I can't say I really reccomand this to anyone other then diehard Superman fans.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good but not great
This book never really did it for me. It's a great premise and beautifully drawn. But it never hits home. It's too simple really. The Joker is a much more complex character than this and the world seems like a bad idea of what the Joker would do. Like his treatment of Batman.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Comics should be fun, and this isn't.
What a drudge. Don't waste your time on this volume. I had to struggle to finish it, and i'd rather read good comics than anything.
