Summary: THE Batman story.
Comment: The HUSH story line that is currently running with Loeb and Lee has been by far, the single greatest Batman story that I have ever read. This is saying an awful lot too, because I have been reading Batman comics for a long time, and have seen some fantastic story lines. The first eleven issues of Batman: Gotham Knights with Hugo Strange were amazing. Batman: A Death In The Family is an all-time classic. And the characterization of Batman/Bruce Wayne by Grant Morrison in the current volume of JLA was marvelous.
So what stands out about this series being so fantastic? Two basic things: One - Jim Lee. The artistry has been absolutely phenomenal. From even simple things like the Batmobile headlights looking like the Batsignal to the double-page splash shots of Batman punching Superman around, Jim Lee is out-doing any of his work (Including X-men from 1991) with each issue.
Two - Jeph Loeb's writing style. As the story continues, each issue ends with you thinking "Wow, that was fantastic!" and then the next issue gets better. Loeb is also doing a fantastic job of not giving away too much information about who the real villian is and strategically placing clues throughout the issues to make you think you know who it really is.
At this point I have had the chance to read all but the final issue which comes out next month. The story has been phenomenal the entire time. Because of how great this story line is, and because the early issues are hard to find, I would strongly recommend getting the trade paperback simply to ensure that you will be able to read the entire when part two comes out, and not miss out on the best Batman story ever.

Summary: A great story!
Comment: This book is the first in a series that teams up Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee in a new DC adventure. In this story, when Batman discovers Killer Croc involved in a kidnapping, he realizes that there is more here than meets the eye. When Catwoman enters the fray, he realizes that something very strange is going on. And, when the trail leads to Poison Ivy and Metropolis, things begin to get downright weird! Old enemies put in an appearance in this story, as do old friends, and sometimes it's hard to tell who are the friends and who are the enemies!
This is a great story! I loved the storyline, with all its twists and turns, and found the illustrations to be absolutely excellent! My son and I both loved this story, and highly recommend it. We're also breathlessly waiting until we can see the sequel!

Summary: Loeb Does it Again! Lee's Art is Outstanding!
Comment: Batman: Hush Vol. 1 & 2, are a nice collectors edition. It should not, however, stop someone from collecting last years monthly story. Loeb is one of the few who can create a tight story with a good plot and has a nack for using multiple characters out of the DC universe. Who is the responsible villain thsi time: Ivy, Two face, Joker, Riddler, or is it someone else, deep from Batman's past?
This story is a little more predicatble than "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" but still is engaging enough to bring the reader in and hold his or her interests until the final pages, even if tehy figure it out. Again, Batman gets pushed to teh edge in a believable way (yes, even though it is a comic, some resemblance of realism must still take place for the reader to enjoy the story).
An overall great story that all can enjoy!
