Hush Ambushes Catwoman and performs a surgery on her. Batman tracks a missing child to a cave where he ends up facing the Scarecrow, and we do get more of the origin of Hush.
Well, the plot Thicks, and the action picks up quite a lot. I enjoyed this issue and am enjoying the story. Once again there seems to be no common thread with the R.I.P. story in any other title carrying the banner, but at this point I am giving up on that, and just enjoying the books for what they are. Oh, the last page is a real kicker, and does its job as advertising for the next issue.

Wha? This is weird. I remember seeing this comic years ago. Yeah. With the kid kidnapped by Scarecrow that get's Bane's venom pumped into him that drives him berserk. Yeah, I saw this one back in highschool, maybe my sophmore year? I was at Waldenbooks and just glancing at the comic rack. Not buying anything, just looking.

Anyway, Hush captures Cats and does stuff to her. Bats takes down Scarecrow in a scene that was just as great as I remember reading years ago. Bats hears about what happened to Selina and speeds over to the hospital.

Pretty good one.
