5By Boogyman567This is one of the best comic books to read if you are a fan of the Joker. I’ve reread it a couple times to completely appreciate all of the content. Love it!!!A MUST READ for all Batman Fans. A classic tale that redefined the Batman Mythos!
5By CodeRedGamer_This book changed the game when it was released and you can surely tell when reading it. It is friendly for new readers and offers multiple reads. I’ve read it so many times and just absolutely love its story. It’s so dark and crazy, unlink Batman at the time, and Alan Moore is such a talented writer. ALL IT TAKES IS ONE BAD DAY! Absolutely amazing story. This iBook is a solid copy, works great on my iPad Mini (2019)!Amazing
4By e!~I like the unique concept of the Joker’s plot and the interesting question he poses. Other people have already said everything great about it, so I won’t waste words. just know that it’s good. The reason I took a star off is because I would like to see the emotional consequences for Barbara and Gordon more because that would either contribute to or refute the Joker’s point. Though Gordon is shown to still be sane, it must’ve still had some traumatizing effect on him, and also Barbara. Highlighting that a bit more would have driven the monstrosity of the Joker’s deed deeper.Fantastic Batman Comic
5By BomB_CHAUCAThe best comic I’ve ever read, the ending was insane and interesting. Just love it!Best. Comic. Ever.
5By El MartilloI love the story. This is the single best comic ever published.Not a rant

5By Dylan lirianoWas a brilliant portrayal of the joker and has an infanantly wondrous ending which leaves you to your own judgement of batmans moralsThe Joker is finally brought to the light
5By Traw12345THIS IS A MUST READ!!! The joker is the main character here, and his origin is something that you wouldn't really think of with all the theories out right now..Its an amazing comic story with outstanding colors. You'll really enjoy the story but the flash backs are what's really importantAwesome
5By CouchCutterThis comic is awesome, but way way too short.First graphic ever owned
5By Moi423It was freaking awesome can't wait on the movieThe Best Joker Story And One of The Best Batman Stories
5By JadenTheMusicGuyThe Killing Joke is a masterpiece, To me it is the Definitive Joker Story. The Art Work is Amazing and The Writing really draws you in. It's Dark, Gritty, And Disturbing like The Joker Should be. It gives you a glimpse or an Idea of The Jokers Origin story, Who he is, We're he came from, And what caused him to turn into The Best (In My Opinion) Comic book Villain of all time. I give it 5 Stars.Infinite 👍🏻's
5By YhknbdtThis is the book that made me feel sorry for the joker. He is a guy who wanted to follow his dream, but had to face the reality that he wasn't funny. Also, the only person who loved him (how much u wanna bet his parents hated him) died. Finally, to top it off, he's forced into a criminal job with cops and the fudging BATMAN going after him! He's right, anyone would probably go nuts after those circumstances, so it's really not fair the Bat beats him up all the time. I also liked the extra book, innocent guy. Really made me think, and the ending line was pretty funny.Amazing!
5By MjsunnyAwesome story, start to finish.Best ever
5By Westwild223The best joker story ever toldGreat
5By HaroldTerhuneI definitely recommend if you're a fan of the Joker
