![]() Rating: - An Almost Fantastic Absolute BookI have been waiting to get a hand on this specific book... and finally I have one. The seller is topnotch and all but upon receipt the slipcase has a rather not-so-small dent that goes it all the way to the hardcover itself and onto some of the pages. This may have occurred sometime during transit as the seller claimed the book as A-one before delivery. I am a bit of a stickler for pristine/mint/near-mint books so I am a bit on the fence on getting another one just to say that i have an A-1 book...But ...

First the storyline - umpteenth take on Batman's family tragedy with added twist - childhood's friend's family tragedy has the poor boy so warped he hates Bruce Wayne for being the ultimate dilettante while he has to wait for his own mother's death. Not quite sure where this was going after that. All the usual Batman villains put in an appearance. The Joker, Two-Face etc (new villain - Hush!!! Take note).

Hush's story is one that sturs up memories for Bruce of Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) that died at the hands of the Joker years earlier. With appearances by Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Superman, & Huntress this is one you shouldn't miss. Rating: - Great art, bad storyI bought this one mainly because Jim Lee illustrated it, and that's about all it's worth. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but the plot is pretty lame. Fortunately, it's better than All-Star Batman and Robin. Rating: - Average story with great artI still remember collecting this story on a monthly basis when it first came out, and just how excited I was. However, once the initial hype wears off, the story doesn't really live up to the epic scale it set up for itself. The mystery villain is very boring, and you can't help but feel that the whole story was just an excuse to showcase Jim Lee's art. That being said, the book is worth getting if only for Lee's art alone. Its gorgeous, especially as presented on these oversized pages. His women ...
