This volume contains the last 7 of 12 monthly issues created by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee.
Loeb gives us a very good detective story for the Dark Knight. Lee provides some of the greatest artwork ever done.
Vol. 2 is probably better than Vol.1, but keep a lookout for a single volume containing the entire run.
Includes a "Forward" by Jim Lee.

With great story & art work, Loeb & Lee bring Batman to the masses. Hush's story is one that sturs up memories for Bruce of Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) that died at the hands of the Joker years earlier. With appearances by Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Superman, & Huntress this is one you shouldn't miss.

Okay the art in this book is fantastic but Hush isn't a good mystery its painfully obvious who Hush is and the thing is that we never heard of Bruce Wayne's childhood friend until this story and his motives are unclear. We hear that he wanted to kill his parents but we never get a reason why he hated his parents and wanted there money was he just born evil or something? The good news is that if you don't know anything about Batman or any of the supporting characters its a good book to pick up. This volume is also better then volume 1 in terms of length. I enjoyed hush but it wasn't anything mind blowing.

This book doesnt set out to reinvent batman. All it sets out to do is strait up entertain you with a non-stop action thriller. Mission accomplished. Jeph Loeb is my favorite author. I highly suggest that you pick up long halloween and dark victory, written by him as well. The art in this just blew me away and was just as good as Loeb's fantastic writing. Be warned the ending does get pretty confusing but it is nothing a second read through can't fix. If you want a defining epic Batman tale I suggest that you pick up long halloween. If you want a mid-career batman tale that is just plain fun, Hush is for you.

Hush vol 2 is to the comic book medium as Saving Private Ryan is to film. In the same way Spielberg was able to bring the characters to the forefront in a film awash in cinematic action. In the same way Hush is neither an action movie nor your standard techno-drama/ mystery, it is both at the same time, and not only that it does it incredibly well. Fans either of Jeph Loeb's writing or Jim Lee's illustrations will be happy to add this to their collection. The story line is riveting both for it's twisting plot but also for its rich characters. The Dark Knight's character is more human and real than your standard take on Batman because of Loeb's skilled narration. At the same time Jim Lee makes the characters jump off the page in a way I've only seen matched by Alex Ross's "Kingdom Come". The result, exactly what most fans are looking for, a new take on the tired character of Batman presented in a way that will blow you away, pick this one up.
