Storyline: Heart of Hush: The Last Good Day (Part 2 of 5)
Date: August 6, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Paul Dini
Artists: Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs

Synopsis: A “Batman: R.I.P.” tie-in! Secrets shared years ago between Bruce Wayne and Tommy Elliott begin to have dangerous repercussions in the present. Why is this mystery driving Hush to destroy Batman’s life? And what part does Catwoman play in Hush’s plans?

Opinion: As we saw last time with the first Detective Comics “Batman RIP” tie-in, it’s not really a tie-in at all— it pretty much has nothing to do with “RIP” and can stand alone. But we don’t care, because what’s going on in Detective right now is much better than the main Grant Morrison Batman story anyway, which is confusing the hell out of us.

Once again Paul Dini gives us a great—in fact, even better—story and Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs give us fantastic art. The main villain? Hush, baby! ;D One of my favorites. Click through the jump and read more about this overall awesome issue.

Storyline: Heart of Hush: First Families of Gotham (Part 1 of 5)
Date: July 9, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Paul Dini
Artists: Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs

Synopsis: A “Batman: R.I.P.” issue - and part 1 of the 5-part story “The Return of Hush!”

Readers who were surprised by Catwoman’s return last month haven’t see anything yet as Hush makes a dramatic return to the life of Batman. What will this mean for Bruce Wayne? This epic story kicks off the countdown to DETECTIVE #850!

Opinion: I’m such a big fan of Hush. Batman: Hush is one of my favorite story arcs ever. Jim Lee’s pencils were amazing as always, the coloring was gorgeous, and the writing by Jeph Loeb was superb—leaving no loose plot threads, an admirable feat for a story involving so many characters. (But if anyone could do it, Jeph Loeb could.)

This time around we have the great Paul Dini writing the first Detective Comic tie-in to Batman “RIP”; the art by Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs is fantastic, as well. Even though this comic has some weak spots, it makes up for it in many other areas. If you’ve never had any exposure to Hush, then this is a great comic to get you started—and if you’re already a fan like me, you’ll find new gems in this one.
