Batman Beyond #4

The fourth chapter of "Hush Beyond" arrives with a striking cover by Dustin Nguyen — Batman in his sleek red-and-black futuristic suit stands defiantly at center while a bandaged, Hush-like figure looms on either side, shredded wrappings flying through the air and a shocked "YOU--!?" hanging in the background. It's a visually arresting composition that captures the tension of a face-to-face confrontation perfectly suited to the penultimate stretch of this six-issue miniseries. Adam Beechen, Ryan Benjamin, and John Stanisci bring Neo-Gotham's Dark Knight to life in what is shaping up to be one of 2010's most compelling Batman stories.
