A comic book about one of Gotham’s creepiest locations, “Batman. Arkham Healing. Hell on Earth. Deluxe Edition” from the diabolical tandem of screenwriter Dan Slott and artist Ryan Suk! Tremble)
The world is a cruel place and a lot of evil lurks in it. To make one feel the illusion of safety, evil lurks – in shadows, in other people’s minds and intentions. There are places where the concentration of evil exceeds all limits. The Arkham Sanctuary. It is open for lost souls to take up their minds, but it is here that they finally descend from that mind and, remaining in eternal darkness, wait for the sacrifice. And the victim is sure to show up sooner or later to end up in hell.
Warren White, nicknamed the Great White Shark, who is on trial for a daring financial scam, succeeds in having him declared insane and placed in Arkham instead of prison. Very quickly the audacious crook realizes that he has made a big mistake. From the very doorstep, the hospital guard tells White that he was the Great White Shark in the outside world and that in Arkham he is just a fish in a tank full of predators. Warren shares a cell with the child killer, and is visited in the shower room on his first day by the Joker himself. Gotham’s scariest villain tells the newcomer the frightening truth: “I think you’re the worst person I’ve ever met.” It’s a verdict. Warren White is destined to go through all the circles of hell within the walls of Arkham. The creepiest patients of the asylum – both those well known from the DC comics and a few “newcomers” – will assist in this endeavor.
The Joker and Two-Face, Killer Croc and the Mad Hatter, Humpty-Dumpty and Jason Blood, aka Etrigan, as well as Jane Doe, Washing Dog, Death Rattle and others. There will be many encounters, each one remembered in body and mind. The Great White Shark will have to navigate through the murky waters of madness and behold the real darkness.
Three reasonable reasons to read the comic book “Batman. Arkham Healing. Hell on Earth.” Balancing on the edge between horror and macabre, Dan Slott’s script. Drawings in which artist Ryan Suk (“Superman. Action Comics”) tosses the reader from the creepy everyday lives of the patients of the asylum into flashbacks tinged with nostalgia to psychedelic hell. Issue covers by Eric Powell.
The deluxe edition includes all six issues of the mini-series “Arkham Asylum. Hell on Earth,” as well as a screenplay entry by Dan Slott, a gallery of sketches and biographies of some of the comic book characters, an explanation of the Easterlings important to the story’s unfolding, and notes.
