In honor of Batman Day, DC presents a special edition of 2002’s Batman #608, the first chapter of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s seminal 12-part mystery spanning Gotham City and the Dark Knight’s greatest foes! Who is Hush? And why does he want revenge on Bruce Wayne? It all starts here.
Joseph "Jeph" Loeb III is an Emmy and WGA nominated American film and television writer, producer and award-winning comic book writer. Loeb was a Co-Executive Producer on the NBC hit show Heroes, and formerly a producer/writer on the TV series Smallville and Lost.
A four-time Eisner Award winner and five-time Wizard Fan Awards winner (see below), Loeb's comic book career includes work on many major characters, including Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Hulk, Captain America, Cable, Iron Man, Daredevil, Supergirl, the Avengers, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, much of which he has produced in collaboration with artist Tim Sale, who provides the comic art seen on Heroes.
Vivid imagery and the story races into things quick smart. Plenty of villains making themselves known and dropping hints for more nefarious deeds to come.
Really enjoyed this, though I'll probably look for a collection rather than jumping on the reissue of the singles. But who knows? It's pretty stunning and I think I might be hooked!
We picked this up on Batman Day. I have not read Hush yet, so this is my introduction. Interesting story. I like that Poison Ivy is incorporated into this. Som eof the art is appealing, but the overall look and feel is not my style.
Looking forward to read this series when I get to it.
