Whoa... Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, together? What an awesome combination! An awesome story, with amazing artwork. A great mystery, and incredible action. This is some of the best Batman ever written.
Batman Is Back!!!!!! With great story & art work, Loeb & Lee bring Batman to the masses. Hush's story is one that sturs up memories for Bruce of Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) that died at the hands of the Joker years earlier. With appearances by Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Superman, & Huntress this is one you shouldn't miss.
I only have one real problem with this book The dialogue and art are great and Hush is a interesting story but this book is paper thin. When I sat down with this book I honestly couldn't believe how thin it was. DC could have easily have made Hush One Volume but they cheat you out of your money by spilling it into two parts. There's Absolute Hush which is $40 which should contain the full story and added bonuses but to be honest I haven't picked it up and I don't know if its worth the money so there's no real way to get around it. There's a really good Batman vs. Superman fight in this book and despite it being paper thin its not a bad book.
A good Batman's Blockbuster Since the beggining Hush was a story full of hype and expectation. And of course, if you read it with that much expectation, you won't like it. It's Batman's, it's Loeb's and Jim Lee's, but certainly it's not definitive.
Ok, ok, let's go easy, from there it looks like i didn't liked the story, and I did. Seriously. I really like Jim Lee's art and Loeb's stories may be goos sometimes. But that's the thing: it's Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb, so you should read expecting lots of - amazing - splash pages and cliffhangers all over the series.
I think it's better if I don't tell anything about the plot because I read it all once in a paperback edition here in Brazil, but it deals with Batman's past, a love case involving he and a women, some famous characters and villains. So if you like Gotham City's wolrd, you probably will like the story.
Hush may not be what you're looking for if you are wanting a classic, but if you want e cool and exciting Blockbuster and a few hours of fun, then you got it.
Very cool Story & artwork This was a really cool book. The artwork is great and the story is pretty cool aswell
