This has to be an out of continuity story or something. It's going to be all the more confusing that they're splitting it into two parts, the latter half coming during Fraction's upcoming run.

Hal plumbs the depths of hell to retrieve material from an evil villain that can helpthe Lanterns build new Central Power Batteries, but his plans are interrupted by theSpirit of Vengeance who has come to offer Hal his old job back!
It’s an improvement on the past 2 issues definitely, but continues to portray Batman and his allies as dumb and not the world’s greatest detectives. I hope the Jason reveal is true, I could maybe get behind this explanation in terms or his character devolving, otherwise he’s just another dummy for no reason. I’m also unsure why Damien would ally himself with the villain he has due to Damiemore
The gentleman’s name is Silence, and his alliance with Hush willdestroy Batman!
I am very confused by this whole story.
It's not bad. I think it's perfectly fine.
But this isn't 2003. Releasing this story 22 years later, while acting everything is the same as it was in 2003 is such an odd choice.
Why isn't this a black label book? Loeb clearly doesn't want to play with current continuity and wants to go to what it was back in early 2000s, why more
The gentleman’s name is Silence, and his alliance with Hush willdestroy Batman!
Isn't this in the continuity of the Long Halloween and Hush? I've always sort of assumed Loeb had his own corner of DC under his name. A bit like Sean Murphy and his Murphyverse.
I never associated Long Halloween with Hush directly. Though most people accept Long Halloween and Dark Victory as canonical so by that measure sure. Not saying that it couldn't be the case but as far as I have experienced and seen from other people, that's never really been a talking point. Hush 1 was rather abrupt as well. It stuck out even then so maybe there is something to that theory.

Everyone lashing out at Lex for no reason was jarring. Hoping it's later clarified to explain the red K is making Clark be so unreasonable with Lex but no reason for his daughter to be acting this way when Mercy caused these problems.

THE MUTANT NEW WORLD ORDER
The start of the second year of ULTIMATE X-MEN! Chaos erupts as former Children of the Atom rise up against the society that used and abused them, just as tension between Armor and Maystorm comes to a head in an explosive confrontation!

I really liked the moment Felicia got with her dad but the rest of the story just felt like a generic "the Avengers are awesome" story.

North explores interesting ideas on political/societal structures but as a comic, especially an event, it lends to a dry read and lacks much excitement. That said, I liked the parts with Doom & Val but all the over dialogued FF scenes with them just acting dumb were jarring.
Doctor Doom has taken over the world, and Earth's mightiest heroes have failed twice: first to stop him, and now to overthrow him. But the Fantastic Four know Doom better than anyone, which makes them ideally suited to take on Earth's new Emperor...except for the fact that he knows THEM just as well. As Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Sue and Johnny ...
A generic dark story with heavy narration that felt like what a 12 yar old would whip up to be edgy.
