Just a tiny little nitpick about this new edition of The Killing Joke.

No, it’s got nothing to do with the coloring. I think that’s just fine, even if I can appreciate where others are coming from. It’s got to do with the damn exclamation point in the Joker’s word balloon, which originally just featured “Smile” with no punctuation whatsoever. This lack of inflection, to me, is terrifying when you consider what he’s taking a picture of. Adding an exclamation point kind of makes him seem…wacky? And that’s just wrong, especially in the context of this story.

(What? I said it was a nitpick.)
