Absolute Batman Hush HC

Batman:Hush is incredibly 20 years old now, and still stands up as an absolute masterpiece. Writer Jeph Loeb, Penciller Jim Lee, Inker Scott Williams and Colourist Alex Sinclair were all at the top of their game and it shows. The essence of what Batman is, who he is, why he is that way, and why he attracts the people he does to him are all here. In fact, if you wanted one story to give to someone to get a feel for Batman and his world, this would be the book you would give. I have a very slight issue with the ending, where I feel the misdirection near the end is better than the actual ‘shock’ reveal, but it’s minor nitpicking. The Absolute Edition is a gorgeous thing, the oversized format allowing the art to shine even more, and the book design a thing of beauty. The extras (interviews, art gallery, sketches, directors commentary etc) also round out a great edition. One of my top ten favourite stories.

First! If you're considering if you should buy the trade paperback or this oversized absolute edition - Buy the absolute edition if you have the money, or wait until you have the money for it. The art is so beautiful and detailed, which only gets better with the oversized pages. I found myself stuck on many of the pages longer than regularly, just starring at the art. SPOILER ALERT FROM THIS POINT! I think the story is very well done too. There's some really interesting twists and turns, even though i kinda had a hunch that Tommy Elliot was Hush early on. Mostly because i didn't understand why else they would keep him so involved in the story after Bruce's surgery. I really didn't think they would involve him that much just to kill him (This is not Game of Thrones you know!). So even though i had a hunch about it from the start, there were still plenty of mystery going on. First with Harvey Dent (now with a face fixed by surgery - again some Tommy magic) visiting The Joker in Hush's disguise, then the "Muddy" return of Jason Todd a.k.a. 2nd Robin, and in end, you never actually saw Tommy Elliot under the bandages - though it most likely still was him. Very, very, very, very great book! -Buy it! :-)

Simply amazing!!! Hush is iconic amongst Batman fans. Rightly so, it has everything, a great story by writer Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee's stunning art (which is just made even better by the over-sized edition) and to top off the inclusion of all the major characters (allies and enemies) from Gotham city, all of whom have a potent role to play be it large or small, even Superman makes an appearance. Without spilling the beans too much the story focuses on the past childhood and present day friendship between Bruce Wayne and Thomas Elliot. After recovering a from near death injury, things start to get heated when Gotham's villains advance on Batman one by one. However someone else is pulling the strings behind this operation. Furthermore HUSH also explores the developing relationship between Batman and Catwoman (Selina Kyle), something which I believe was superbly carried out throughout the story. The absolute edition also comes with various panel/cover/issue commentaries from Loeb and Lee which give you an insight to how big a project HUSH actually was, along with sketches and alternate covers.

Hush is my favourite Batman story so when I saw it was available In Absolute Edition I had to get it and I’m very happy I did. The book is spectacular, delivery was quick and the packaging was excellent. With it being an Absolute Edition the art work is even more gorgeous than It Is in the regular editions. Batman Hush is a must have for every Batman fan around the world

Many stories compiled together into one well bundled hard cover volume. Great graphics. A good addition to my collections

¿Qué más se podría decir sobre Batman Hush? Quizá es la historia más conocida de Batman en lo que va de siglo, un repertorio bastante amplio de héroes y villanos; para mí es la historia que inicia la época moderna de Batman y hace renacer a DC. Historia entretenida por Jeph Loeb y magistrales trazos de Jim Lee, su mejor trabajo. La edición Absolute es un delicatessen para los coleccionistas hardcore, slipcase y hardcover, calidad de papel top y el coloreado con alta definición. Recomendada.

Thanks Amazon for this prompt service. This book is amazing in all aspects. For example size is huge. Art work of Jim Lee is no doubt a gem. Paper quality is high. After holding the book in hand I felt mind-blowing. Perfectly as I was expected. No damage. Delivered in right time. As I yet not read this. will update about story afterwards. It cost me 4100 RS. But it's definitely worth it.
