Batman: Hush, Vol. 2 by Jeph Loeb

3.0

---

Well drawn and full of plot twists. The ridiculously large cast of characters was appealing at first, but cycled through too quickly to feel satisfying. Each new villain/ally got a few pages and then disappeared again before it felt they'd been used fully. The result was a confusing tease, and I ended the story with the feeling of failed potential. The seeds of a great story were here, but needed a bit more nurturing to take root. Batman's internal brooding was powerful and moving in some places, but used as a crutch to provide exposition in others, weakening the effect.
