4.09 AVERAGE


Please find my review at http://echoes-empty-mind.blogspot.com/2017/03/on-batman-hush-vols-1-2-2003.html.

I'm just reviewing both of these volumes as one, as that's how they were to be read and the two volume set seems to me part of the problem. Each volume is slim---maybe a hundred pages---and this could have easily been released as a single, collected volume. As for the story: I found this to a very weak Batman tale. It had come pretty highly recommended to me by a few different people, but besides for a few highlights---which I won't mention as not to spoil the plot---this story seemed contrived and the payoff, or motivation for the main bad guy was very, very unbelievable and corny. I give it three because Jim Lee has some great art in here and some of the writing is good, but overall a very disappointing story.

Yes, it reads like fan fiction. So what? I still liked it.
