Joker: Killer Smile by Jeff Lemire

There are some perfect partnerships out there; two things or people that go complement each other sublimely. Think peanut butter and jam or peanut butter and bananas…or other things with peanut butter, you can’t go wrong with peanut butter. 
Jeff Lemire is plenty talented on his own but combined with this artist…the work they produce is pure magic. Repeatedly. And they must know it because they work together often.
Sure, I prefer the two of them putting out original nightmares like Gideon Falls, but I’ll read whatever, including this take on Gotham’s favorite villain.  So yeah, smile…why so serious? You’ve got a killer smile there. 
An origin story well told and spectacularly rendered. Do you know how much skill it takes to match Lemire and potentially outshine him? Apparently, this much. No one and I mean, no one does such clever things with their panels. Stunning, really. Terrific tale of madness. Recommended.
