"I always assumed [Joker] was bisexual. Lots of writers have suggested it, and a few books in the past have touched on the subject. It's not really a new idea." -- Sean Murphy










 "...you'd realize how similar you've become."

If this weren't already fanfic-y enough, "the pills are also a steroid". I suppose they make you bulletproof, give you universal translator hearing, and serve as a cruelty-free aphrodisiac too?

[locuatico]

Nah. they simply give you +5 charisma.

I really love the art. It incredibly well put together on pure visual terms. Been enjoying the story so far.

[ericadawn16]

Who is the artist? I totally agree. It reminds me of Nicola Scott.

Sean Gordon Murphy, also the writer.

Still continues to read like really bad fanfiction

[cyberghostface]

You've told us this a couple of times now.

[jaxjyls]

and will continue to, until that changes

[cyberghostface]

If you want to keep on repeating yourself that's your prerogative I guess.

[caivu]

In what way?

Hmm, referencing that ep of BTAS is a nice touch, I admit. One of my favorite Harley/Bats moments. It's offset by the fact that that version of the Joker was an utter monster, which taints the perception of this one.

Which remains the problem with this story, really. It relies a lot on using established characters, trying to present a different angle on them, and I want to give it a chance. But at this point, no matter how much the comic tries to make me side with Jack, I can't get past the fact that it's the Joker. The poster child of pointless carnage, horrible crimes and endless murder. And as someone that's on medication for issues of my own, trying to wave it away as 'he was sick' leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

That said, Harley is flippin' adorable in those glasses.
