While DC has explored several Hush-related stories over the years, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has come back together. The talented ensemble of writer Jeph Loeb, artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings reunite for this much-anticipated sequel. Hush 2 picks up from the recent epilogue in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, revealing that Batman has uncovered evidence that his childhood friend Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, survived their last encounter. This discovery sets the stage for a gripping new mystery, as Hush cunningly manipulates Batman's network of allies and adversaries.
Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue hitting stores on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a fresh #1 issue and a new costume, heralding a new era for the Dark Knight under the guidance of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
