Borders coupons make me take chances sometimes. So when I had a coupon and didn't know what to pick up, I took a chance on the sequel to Batman: Hush.
Sigh. This is what happens when a new writer picks up a character they don't understand.
Hush was unique and interesting in the original mini because he was calm and collected -- a chess player of a villain who thought dozens of moves ahead.
Turning him into yet another pretender for the throne of the top crime lord in Gotham? Lame.
The jumps in the story are jarring. It's split into two parts, and tacked on to the end is a third, rushed "end" to the story that feels like the writer said "damn -- didn't we finish that?"
Not even a sizable guest appearance by Green Arrow can save this one. Read Batman: Hush, but leave this sequel on the shelf.
