 Rating:  - Oh dear.Jeph Loeb has a pretty illustrious history in comics as a writer. In Batman alone, he has written the fantastic Batman: Long Halloween (a key inspiration for Batman Begins) and its follow up Dark Victory, two stupendous stories which suggested he'd strike it lucky a third time too. Right? Wrong. Somewhere between these two books, Jeph Loeb lost his mojo. This first volume of Hush (and why a 12-issue story needed to be published in two volumes of different sizes when even this same writer's previous stuff wasn't is a mystery) begins a rollercoaster story the ending of which you can see from a mile off. Many of the characters and dialogue styles are identical to those used previously ("no one can resist me" says Poison ...

The problem I had was that there just seemed to be to many characters squeezed in and not enough story. One of my favourite batman comics is Knightfall which is filled with characters but pulls it off well. Anyway I guess you have to make your own mind up but don't expect anything amazing unless you prefer characters over story. Rating:  - Beautiful ArtworkI cannot recommend this or its sequel highly enough for the art alone its worth its weight in gold. honestly its beautifuly drawn it also has a gripping plot with batman faceing off agains many of his previous villians and even superman. Rating: - IncredibleI sat and though about the title for this review for a couple of minutes and 'incredible,' I'm afraid to say, was the best I could come up with to describe this book. As a child I would read comics my father brought back from work. Second hand, many folded, dog eared comics at that. This book was my reintroduction after many years and I have to say a big 'Thank you' to Mr Loeb and Mr Lee for it. My bookcase now labours under the weight of a great many more graphic novels now. The writing is very clever and I really did not see the ending (of vol. 2 that is) coming. Jim Lee's visuals (and remember this medium is as much about the visuals as it is the story) are quite frankly sublime and, in some instances literally take your ... Read More: Rating: - Don't buy the hype.As Batman stories go, this is not the worst. Not in its best moments does it ever approach being one of the best. As a detective story, it really is bordering on pathetic. A mysterious new villain (the "Hush" of the title) is out to get Batman; who could it possibly be behind those natty, invisible man-style bandages!?! Oh, by the way, on a completely unrelated note, Bats is having flashbacks to an old childhood friend never before seen or mentioned in the Bat-canon who Bruce Wayne was apparently closer to than anyone as a child, but who left his life under regrettably awkward circumstances years before. Among the other suspects are... Alfred, maybe? I don't mean to spoil it for you, but it really is just that blatant. Really. ... Read More: |
