Batman Hush

[ragernok2002]

In an effort to get get into Batman, I was considering getting this. I was wondering if any of the DC fans could give me the low down on this? Is it any good, how many TPB's are there.

It was 12 issues long, and DC collected the series in two volumes.

Paperback: Vol. 1, Vol. 2

Hardcover: Vol. 1, Vol. 2

I'm not the biggest Jeph Loeb fan, so I didn't finish reading the story. However, Jim Lee's artwork is phenomenal! Hopefully someone who finished reading the series will be able to provide you with details.

I'm a huge Jeph Loeb fan and an even bigger Jim Lee fan, so my view might be a smidge biased, but I loved it!! Loved it!!! I bought every issue, both hardcovers, and am getting the just released Ultimate Edition Hardcover for Christmas. There are a few points that don't get followed up on, but it is a very good story that includes most major players in the bat universe with Batgirl being the only exception I can think of at the moment. The art is beautiful. I liked it more than any Batman story not done by Frank Miller. For 15-20 bucks, pick up part one and give it a try.

I thought that Batman: Hush was good. I have the Trade Paperbacks of both volumes. The artwork in there is very brutal in some frames, especially ones involving Batman and Joker. (Spoiler? Not really, I guess.) It really is phenominal artwork.

The story is also very interesting, but it seems a bit linear in some points.

HOWEVER.

If you were looking for Jeph Loeb's best work in Batman, I would have to hand that over to either Dark Victory or The Long Holloween.
