A well-written and drawn story about about the return of Scarface, the malevolent puppet who exists as a psychic doppelganger to the meek and mild Ventriloquist. There is a bit about the origin of the puppet, with supernatural overtones, but this is primarily a psychic drama. I don't usually care much for the Scarface stories in the "Batman" line, but this is as well-done a one as I have seen. ( )
