Truly a mixed bag with a fractured identity, just like it's titular villain.
The Omni starts very strong with the original Hush story. Leob and Lee were on fire there, even if it wasn't as all timer great like I thought. but man, does it look like a five course meal compared to the dry, drab, and completely boring third of the book written by Liberman. I was straight up skipping whole pages or skimming during his issues.
The less I rant about the middle portion of this book the better. thankfully it got much better once Paul Dini was writing again, as Heart of Hush and House of Hush both were worthy sequels to the original saga. Heart was quick, and unfortunately Selina was sidelined, but it was well written and explored Hush more. House was just fine, a victim of it keeping it's hero and Villain separate until the final issue.
A truly mixed bag of a Omni, but one at least I can say I've read and followed up on the saga I used to hold in such high regard. Maybe Hush worked best as a mystery, someone used to facilitate others more well known.

I finally got around to finishing my review of BATMAN: HUSH, and I've included links to its various editions and the upcoming release of BATMAN: HUSH 2.
If you haven't read HUSH, I personally think it's a great story, especially if you're a fan of Batman as a "detective." It reads like a classic whodunit with plenty of suspects, a few red herrings, and appearances by iconic friends, felons, and some of the Bat Boys.

The original Hush by Loeb & the sequel Hush Returns by Liberman are some of the absolute worst comics ever made but remain fascinating, & the Dini Hush trilogy (Heart of Hush, Hush $, House of Hush) is shockingly as good as a comic w/ Hush can be

Such a mixed bag. Hush isn’t exactly the best Batman villain to build an entire omnibus around, dude’s only interesting when he’s written by Paul Dini.

Quintessential Batman reading, absolutely love Heart of Hush (I love a good romantic melodrama)

Any sort of Batman content for me is always a 10/10 but you can see such a massive drop in art quality between some of the issues like The Batman comics have some of the most amazing art and then it switches to Gotham Knights and the art just looks bland and flushed out.
Just something you don’t notice when your reading the issues separately but when put them together in one it’s a lot more noticeable.
At the end of the day an amazing read.

This was surprisingly fun to read. I didn't find the original Hush storyline to be too strong, but the art is legendary. It's dynamic, incredibly memorable, and pure FUN. Jim Lee really inspired me as a kid, when I first discovered the Hush issues through Gotham Comics (iykyk), and got me to pick up a pencil and learn how to get to that level of drawing.
So yes, there's a lot of nostalgia. I didn't find the storylines later on to be too interesting either, but the Dini stuff (especially Heart of Hush, felt like I was watching episodes of BTAS) is really strong.

This is just like an All-Star version of Batman. All the friends and villains are there, the plot is Batman detective stuff, art is perfection... This just feels like a perfect Batman story to represent all the characters and stories and relationships. While there are some stories that are more important or will stay with you longer, this is just pure perfection.
5/5
