PLUS: The return of the yellow oval Batlogo in this SNEAK PEEK at March’s Batman #158 — and April’s #159…
One of the hallmarks of Jeph Loeb’s Batman stories is their “greatest hits” nature — it’s not just that virtually every major character shows up at some point, but their signature gimmicks can play a part too.
So, it made me, ahem, giggle when DC on Wednesday released the first preview pages for March 26’s Batman #158, the first part of the 6-issue Hush 2 (or H2SH, as the publisher calls it).
Why, you say? Why it’s the appearance of a big truckload of Laughing Fish — invented by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers waayyyyy back in 1977’s Detective Comics #475.
Dig this SNEAK PEEK, with art by Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair — the same team that worked with Loeb on the original Hush storyline:
Main cover. There will be 1,000,006 variant and homage covers too.
And the yellow oval Batlogo makes a comeback too, in these uncolored pages:
And there’s more!
Here’s some preliminary Batman #159 for you:
Main cover, unlettered. There will be 1,000,006 variants and homages for this ish too.
