Wow, I LOVED the artwork of this one!
Vivid imagery and the story races into things quick smart. Plenty of villains making themselves known and dropping hints for more nefarious deeds to come.
Really enjoyed this, though I'll probably look for a collection rather than jumping on the reissue of the singles. But who knows? It's pretty stunning and I think I might be hooked!

Nails Nathan, Tommy Harper, Carlos Valdez, and Spider Hancock…someone is recruiting them…trying to build a team.
The story is scattered and all over the place, especially in the beginning.
This Batman is very buff, though. 👍
Some of the print gets really, really tiny in this edition. 🤓
Batman rescues the little boy; the ransom money is still an issue, though.
Killer Croc confronts them…but there’s a dilemma. None of this is his M.O. Who is he in cahoots with??
Catwoman’s appearance is welcome. Her struggles with going legit are interesting.
And Catwoman’s co-conspirator is an interesting surprise…
(tf is up with this cover?!? the ebook has a real one....grrr)

We picked this up on Batman Day. I have not read Hush yet, so this is my introduction. Interesting story. I like that Poison Ivy is incorporated into this. Som eof the art is appealing, but the overall look and feel is not my style.
Looking forward to read this series when I get to it.

Batman day preview.
Lavish color artwork. Batman is taking on some classic villains who are acting strange. No robin yet but the ladies are getting in some stylish hits.

Very entertaining story for Batman fans. Has the usual plot twists and turns that you would expect in a Batman adventure.

Is only the first chapter
First chapter of a long and enjoyable story. However, doesn't come with the rest. Making it more of a demo or tease then anything.
