4.09 AVERAGE


A confusing, somewhat rushed ending, and the introduction of a villain that I don't really care for.

Betrayal, redemption, who can you trust? Hush is a bit of a soap opera but I like it. This volume has so much Catwoman in it, who is my favorite. The scenes with Harold were heartbreaking, and How dare Loeb?

Hands down the best Batman story ever told.

3.5 stars

A fun and well written series that brings together not only Batman and all of his biggest villains, but also a guest appearance by Superman. Not as groundbreaking or breathtaking as some of the other Batman comics, but still a solid read.

Borrowed from the local public library.

See my short note on it:

Great ending to the story! I definitely enjoyed reading Hush. It brought back a lot of the great villains and characters, and weaved them all together very well to make an interesting story line.



Nice artwork and pleasingly convoluted.

I guess the only redeeming quality of this novel to me is the superlative artwork by Jim Lee and co. Everyone, be they villain or good guy, has never looked better.

The plot grows ever the more bizarre, but the tighter it becomes the more coherent it feels, though I'm still too busy ogling at the sumptuous detail of the visuals.

And the sequence where Catwoman practically straddles/wraps herself around an in-dire-need-of-a-shave-and-bath Batman at the lion's cage = very sexy indeed.
