“Die Laughing” is the perfect, epic summer blockbuster blow off to the series of stories huge, demented, hideously violent and immensely fun. Whilst the Joker as a Dark Judge doesn’t quite work, brilliantly that’s acknowledged in the story and it’s touches like that, along with the endless variety of hideous things the Dark Judges do to people, that make it huge fun to read. However, the whole thing pales in comparison to seeing Batman, astride a Lawmaster, side by side with Dredd.
There are some lovely full splash pages and some cheerfully grotesque moments, especially the rapid degeneration of one of Mortis’ victims. Fabry and Murray’s gloriously sinewy, burly art is the perfect bookend to Bisley’s work in the first story and they clearly relish showing Mega City 1 off in all its demented glory.
