After a brief
appearance last year in issue #8 of the series, Jervis Tetch becomes
the subject of Gregg Hurwitz's writing as he takes readers inside
the twisted world of the Mad Hatter. It would have been easy to fall
for a crazy-in-a-comical-way angle when fleshing out this particular
baddie; but instead, this is a disturbing, dark story that promises
to elevate the Hatter to A+ creep status within Batman's rogue
gallery.
Super-star Ethan Van Sciver takes the reins of the art department
with his refined style. From the ingenious cover concept, to Mad
Hatter's elaborate character design, to his distinctive, wing-like
take on Batman's cape, Van Sciver brings much class to the title
with the assistance of Hi-Fi's somber colors. This arc is the
perfect opportunity to bring back someone who debuted in this book
and has not been heard of for a while: Jaina Hudson, the deceitful
White Rabbit. Fingers crossed!
