Although only about half as long as "Hush," "Heart of Hush" is the perfect sequel to the original masterpiece. Smaller in scope and scale, but even more personal....and you don't even have to read the bits of Hush storylines from Gotham Knights in between the two to catch up. It didn't sound like I missed much.

As far as I can tell, the essential Hush saga can be captured in these graphic novels:

-Hush

-Heart of Hush

-Hush Money

-House of Hush

Format: Hardcover
It's fair to say Paul Dini's Hush arc was anticipated on two counts, the first in observing what he could deliver on a Batman tale benefitting from a longer format, and the second in discovering how much further he could embellish on Tommy Elliot's mysterious background. While we do learn more about his troubled childhood and the behavior that arose from it, this may be an example where less is more and things are best left shrouded, as some characters are more intriguing if certain aspects about them remain a riddle. Most of the revelations do come about from the debatable yet probably unavoidable use of flashbacks, whose purpose was to illuminate Tommy's past plus possibly give him a sympathetic slant and more rational motivations for becoming Hush. The flashbacks however are excessive, comprising a significant chunk of the narrative, given that the technique is most effective when used sparingly. More importantly the story clearly suffers from its over the top and implausible situations that diminish its credibility, from the medical predicament inflicted upon Selina combined with Hush's surgically altered face, to the coincidental encounters in his youth with Jonathan Crane and Peyton Riley, who would eventually go on to become the Scarecrow and new Ventriloquist. Peyton's role in Tommy's past is especially troublesome considering it contradicts and undermines her empathetic plight and portrayal in a recent two-parter from a few months past. What fortunately does spark is the poignant reigniting of Bruce's feelings toward Selina, an affair of the heart that succinctly symbolizes the story's metaphoric title. Despite its flaws, many critics of Hush will welcome this tale for its elaboration on his persona alone, but regrettably it falls short of the expectations his much awaited return and the added length generated in comparison to the rest of Dini's exceptional tenure on 'Tec.

I won't bore you with a recap (and I won't give away any plot spoilers), but I will give some background information. Heart of Hush is officially part of the Batman R.I.P. storyline, but takes place a couple of nights before the events of RIP proper (and therefore, before Final Crisis). Hush, upon learning of the Black Glove's intentions for Batman, returns to Gotham to make one final attempt on his nemesis. What happens in the story, I won't say, but it is a very good story. The Heart of Hush storyline officially ends within this book, but an epilogue of it takes place in the 'Faces of Evil' issues of Batman and Detective Comics (Not collected in this), but they aren't necessary and only serve as to give closure to some of the characters in this story. The story officially picks up in Batman RIP and then Final Crisis, telling the story of the 'last' adventure of Batman.

I was a big fan of HUSH, I think it is and will always be one of the best Batman graphic novels ever. Pairing Jim Lee's masterful artwork with Jeph Loeb's impeccable storytelling abilities is the stuff of legends. Heart of Hush is a bit complicated in that it is technically a sequel to Hush yet it also falls in between the Batman RIP storyline. While they did get a good replacement for Loeb by using Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen is no Jim Lee (though he does have a really great style particularly suited for Batman). Overall it was an enjoyable read but truly not to be compared with it's original counterpart. I rented this book at my local library.

Recommended reading: Batman: Hush, Batman: Hush Money

Typical of Paul Dini, this story isn't boring for those of us who love pairing Batman & Catwoman, this story involves a short run that explains the origination of Hush and the tragic story that brought him into "The abyss." This story doesn't disappoint in Batman's clever ingenuity and fail-safe ideas to save those he cares about. There is one or two moments that leave you wondering why Hush didn't kill Batman, but that perhaps would spoil the fun of it all.

There are a couple of easter eggs in this one, particularly in the Batcave. This story also adds more depth to Peyton Riley as she is key to Hush's fall and gives glimpse into Peyton Riley's (Ventriloquist II) fall into the abyss as well.

If you liked Batman: Hush, you will enjoy this installment!
The villain is incredibly calculating, and Catwoman is featured in this suspenseful adventure. If you are familiar with the villain, you will truly enjoy this rendition of him. This short 'n sweet trade is so good that when it ended, I went ahead and purchased the other Batman stories featuring Hush.
Excellent artwork and spot-on inking.

Wow! The story was amazing. I was a little late to the game on this one. But, i really enjoyed it and it is a great edition to my Batman collection. Hush is one of my favorite Batman villians. I mean he's one of the few that knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne. And that means that Hush can get Batman at a personal level.
