Review
Essex Chronicle, Thursday October 4th 2004, review by Matt Adams: " Beautifully illustrated, with former X-Men artist Lee showing his typical flair for stylish action, and tightly scripted by the acclaimed Lee, this is Batman at his best."; Leeds Guide 12 Jan- 27 Jan 2005: " The art is clean and defined, and the elegance works in the grand story."

The Ultimate Answer October 2004
" The best Batman book I've read in a long time..."

4.0 out of 5 stars Who is Hush?, 3 May 2005
By Mr. N. Shaikh - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This collects parts 1-5 of a 12 part story which was the big DC event of 2003. A new villain emerges who appears to be manipulating villains and heroes in a complex plot to trap Batman. Poison Ivy, Catwoman, even Superman are drawn in to bring down the Batman. The artwork is gorgeous, Jim Lee is phenomenal. The plot is drawn out a little, and ending on issue 5 leaves you a little irritated. I bought the two hardcovers but i think you'd be better buying it in paperback and saving a few bob. There are a few additional pages of artwork which are unique to these collections and not released in the original comics.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Essential graphic novel for Batfans, 26 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This comic book now sold in two graphic novels is one of the best looking Batman books in years. This book was long awaited as it has the collaboration of two of the greatest talents in comics - Jeph Loeb (Superman) & Jim Lee (XMen). It doesnt disappoint. Art is amazing although story does rollercoaster a little too much - nevertheless once I started reading I couldnt put it down. In my opinion shows a side to the Batman that was prevalent in the days of the original Dark Knight Comics. This is what graphic novels are about i.e. - if you dont collect comics - this is the way to go - value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear., 27 Aug 2008
By dynamitekid156 "dynamitekid156" (Notts) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
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 Ivy. Again.) and the stilted internal monologue that grates. Loeb starts a story that whilst having a few twists you won't see coming and some nice moments (not least the fight with Superman), its villain will be obvious to you before you even know there is one.

The saving grace of all this is one Jim Lee. Possibly the best comic artist active at the moment, he brings to life Loeb's mediocre story with the same effortless, vibrant colour with which he makes the likes of All-Star Batman And Robin forgivable.

Unless you're a Loeb freak or a big fan of Jim Lee's artwork - or simply don't want to think very hard in the course of the story - then Hush is not for you.
