Sean Murphy has been quietly drawing some of the coolest looking books in recent years like
The Wake (with Scott Snyder),
Joe the Barbarian (with Grant Morrison), and
Tokyo Ghost. But when he finally stepped up to the major leagues and put his spin on Batman, he finally achieved greatness. The simple idea behind
Batman: White Knight is this: what if The Joker turned into the hero and Batman became the villain? And it's shockingly not silly but ingenious, compelling, interesting, and gorgeous to look at. Murphy is writing the book as well and it turns out that he's just as good at writing Batman as any of the other major writers of the past. The book has sold out and been extended. This proves it's already on the shelf with the great Batman books of history. And sure, I'm a sucker for anything Batman, but this is truly something unique and special.
