Notes: A Chucky meets Carrie, more screwy than scary, gawky horror puppet show: it’s surprisingly lewd, but acceptably so.

Hmm, can't tell you if I like this one or not so I'll leave it a bit in the middle at 3 stars. It's interesting and a bit scary but not a lot happened.

Pretty cool

This new Ventriloquist seems like a good addition to Batman’s rogues gallery. Her telekinesis is especially nice because it lets the dummy move *on it’s own*

Best part, this mildly funny joke: "A man tells his doctor he's suicidal, and the doctor says... GOOD NEWS! You have a tumor! BAD NEWS! It's totally curable! GOOD NEWS! I'm a terrible surgeon!"
In poor taste, I know, but the only chuckle or any sort of entertainment I got from this issue. Was the Ventriloquist a chick? I really don't think so..
