This is a great looking cover. I haven't read the first two out of five - but I may pick those up as well.

Yep, great little run, pretty much an RIP tie-in in name only but a solid story so far. Loved the scenes between Selina and Zatanna.

I wasn't sure about Dini doing a longer arc beacuse I've enjoyed his short stories so much. This is good though so I'm happy. Hope he keeps it going.

I have really liked the depth to the story. He is taking Hush and making him into a character that is interesting and different. I think this arc may create a villain that will endure.

Did anyone think Nguyen's art took a bit of a step back in this issue? I mean he's been pretty good lately for this series...but this issue, I dont know I thought it had some problems...

@skyle - SPOILER - She is, but in a very interesting and painful way.

Very interested to see how all of this is going to play out. Good issue.

I don't see what this has to do with R.I.P. but it was a great issue as usual for Dini and Nguyen (in my opinion) is ripping this shit up. Definitely my kind of art.

Just finished reading it and can't wait for the next. That's just all you can ask for. My POW!!

Great issue. One question though: Does Selina know Bruce Wayne is Batman? I thought she didn't know, but in this issue it seems like she does.

@ wadewilson. yes she knows he revealed his idenity to her in the first hush series

I've personally have been enjoying this run. It's fun, it has nothing to do with RIP, and overall it's a great written story. Hush still isnt my favorite villian of all time, but at least Dini is trying to make this work.
