The complete 12-part saga written by Jeph Loeb (SUPERMAN/BATMAN, Smallville) with art by fan-favorites Jim Lee & Scott Williams (SUPERMAN, Uncanny X-Men) collected together for the first time in the oversized Absolute format! This slipcased edition includes BATMAN 608-619 as well as the the 2-page origin of Batman (originally seen only on dccomics.com) and the special story from Wizard: The Comics Magazine. The year-long "Hush" — an epic tale of friendship, trust, and betrayal that spans a lifetime — reinvigorated the Dark Knight, pitting him against the deadliest members of his Rogue's Gallery and introducing his newest foe!

  • Not Loeb's or Lee's best work, but good enough.
Teaming up fan favorite writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee seems like a no-brainer, particularly when you hand them the reigns to Batman. So for a year, Loeb and Lee ran a mystery entitled, "Hush," as in "Who is Hush?" Loeb's storytelling here is not as good as The Long Halloween or even Dark Victory, and it suffers from some of the same weaknesses--running through every major Bat villain, although I think the explanation this time is a bit more satisfying. There's a neat twist at the end, but it comes without any clues to the reader along the way, so it's less a surprise than a shock. That said, the characters are generally well-written and consistent. The final resolution, such as it is, is nothing short of brilliant, and I humbly doff my cap. Lee's artwork is impressive, but doesn't strike me as right for Batman. I prefer the Neal Adams/Jim Aparo realism. Lee's Batman looks like he stepped out of the pages of X-Men, which just isn't what I think works. Even Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Tommy Elliott looks like he belongs in ultimate fighting rather than a hospital. And some of the villains are too distorted (the Joker for one). The storytelling, however, is fluid, and the women are gorgeous (prefiguring what he would do with Vicki Vale in All Star Batman and Robin 1). The Absolute edition is a nice presentation--gorgeous paper, making the art look spectacular. There's a nice interview with Loeb and Lee at the start, some discussion of individual panels by Lee at the end, and a concluding look at some of the promotional materials for the event. Yet I'm not sure it's rich enough to warrant the purchase of the Absolute edition for someone who has the issues or the trade paperback. I didn't, so I am pleased with this collected edition, and it looks nice on the coffeetable. ... show more

  • Garnteed: Spoier Free!
Hey! If you are thinking of getting this then you have probably read the story already. So, you aren't too worried about me spoiling it for you... but there's goodies in the Absolute Hush that I shouldn't tell you about at any rate. I'll start with some general praise for the Absolute line. This seems like an excessive product. Take a story that has seen print in monthly books and TPB and add some new material (essays, interviews, sketches, new pages. It depends on the book) and make it spendy. First: View these like deluxe edition DVDs. You can get the bare bones and be happy or you can throw down some scratch and get a little King Kong statue with some other swag. I appreciate the larger format, the grade of paper, the high quality of the printing, and the added value of the binding and cover. Hush as a story, it is Jeph Loeb. He's really very good. In Batman he plays some similar notes across the three big Bat-stories (Long Halloween, Dark Victory, and Hush) but he does it well, and he uses those common themes to back up the new story. Hush art? Jim Lee was never a fave of mine once I started into artistic maturity. That's not to diss him as an artist. I first "met" him in Uncanny X-Men, and camparing the artwork to Hush is so fun. He's made some great strides which is exciting for me to see. He does a great job of presenting the story in an exciting way. So I'd recomend this book, this particular release, if you are apreciate comic art. You see the page larger than average and get a view inside the process by way of extra features. I heartily recomend almost all the Absolute books!! ... show more

  • Hush is Fun, But....
Absolute Hush is well worth the price premium. Jim Lee's fantastic art receives the format it deserves. The Absolute edition contains commentary by Lee and Loeb and a Lee sketchbook. Jim Lee describes in detail how he conceived of the art design of a lock that is seen in a single panel of the book. He also mentions the thought he puts into writing notes and scribbles on paperwork plastered on Lois Lane's desk. It's this kind of obsessive attention to detail that makes Jim Lee the spectacular success that he is. This is an epic tale and draws in tons of Batman characters, villains and heroes, allies and friends. Otherwise stupid characters like Huntress, Croc and Harley Quinn are fun. For the most part, it's an entertaining read. Jeph Loeb intelligently incorporates high tech into Batman's operations, including an online advisor known as "Oracle" and a really neat scene where Batman's uniform defends itself from some street punks. But the plot is severely undermined by a strange and stupid twist. I won't tell you, don't worry. But I think you'll agree that this plot angle is dumb. Hush is a great work despite this flaw because of Lee's art and Loeb's innovations. But for the plot failure mentioned above, this coulda been a classic. ... show more
