As announced at the Jim Lee & Friends panel at this year’sNew York Comic Con, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee are returning to take over the publisher’s core Batman book with Hush 2 – the long-awaited sequel to their original, classic Hush tale. Loeb and Lee are not the only ones returning, either. Colorist Alex Sinclair, inker Scott Williams, and letterer Richard Starkings are also back for the new series.
No plot details have been revealed as yet, but there’s a gorgeous piece of art by Lee and Williams below, with some early black and white interiors on Lee’s Instagram.
Lee’s post also confirmed that the Dark Knight’s current creative team of Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jiménez will be wrapping up their run, presumably with Batman #157. “We have extremely big shoes to fill in the current Batman creatives Chip Zdarksy and @jorge_jimenez_art who are bringing their outstanding, nearly two year tenure on our flagship title to an epic, climatic conclusion,” Lee added. “Thank you gentlemen for your critically acclaimed, character redefining run!”
