BATMAN #163 (DC COMICS)
The end is (almost) finally here for one of Comics’ most polarizing tales.
In 2024, it was announced “H2SH” was taking over the current Batman series with its’ legendary creative team in March of 2025. Batman facing off with Hush sounded like a no brainer. Since the return, it has been a very mixed reaction amongst fans.

MEDIEVAL PLAYLIST REVEAL (COMIXOLOGY ORIGINALS)
The saga of Danny Landau has been one for the ages.
Neil Kleid & Alex Cormack’s fun and unapologetic tale stands out from the pack. Danny’s unabashed ways was a huge crowd pleaser (unless you’re a fan of the Red Sox). Who would have thought a Bleacher Creature would bring such a fight to King Arthur! .
