    Fire Bombing Gotham

      In this issue we see the chaos caused by last issues cliffhanger.  Firefly has implanted many Gothamites with a substance that can set them on fire from within at Fireflys command.  Hush takes advantage of the chaos and uses it to escape his prison in the cave.  In the mean time Black Mask confronts Firefly, and is shown that he was no longer in Black Masks control. 
      This book continues to impress me. The sense of chaos is palpable, and the use of Firefly is just top notch. I probably like many others view him as a second stringer, but in the right hands he becomes dangerous, like no other Batman villain. For once I also do not want to see Robin run over by the Batmobile. 
      Another character moment was Hush not wanting to really hurt Alfred during his escape, I just thought it was a revealing moment. The ending proves he is a villain willing to use his brain to take down his enemy rather than just fighting all the time. 
    looking forward to issue 3
