The H2SH storyline continues as Hush‘s machinations have turned the Bat-Family against Batman. It’s not really explained how he did that in this issue, but it’s happened enough times over the years that even if you are picking up this issue without reading the larger storyline it’s easy enough to go with the flow. The art is good, the yellow oval Bat-symbol is back, and we get plenty of Bat-on-Bat action.

A terrific tale from writer Tom Taylor and artist Mikel Janín, it’s the standout story and is worth the price of the issue all on its own.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a Batman team-up from the classic anthology The Brave and the Bold.
