    Hey Omar, I just wanted to stop by and thank you. I wanted to get into comics a few years ago and mostly started with Ostrander suicide squad on digital. But I really wanted to start holding actual books because I've always preferred physical over digital with my prose books. I eventually found your channel when I wanted to find ways to preview collected books online before getting them. I've been watching a ton of your videos for over almost two years and have started a modest collection ever since. I absolutely love this hobby and it's helped me get through some tough times. Thank you so much, friend. You are awesome!

    Thanks for the spotlight. Predordered this as soon as it was on the radar. Sadly, I think this is the 4th time I'll have indulged myself in a Hush collected edition. Definitely needs to be the last time as this should be the definitive edition for anybody new, and old. Not the greatest Batman story in my mind, but it's some of Jim Lee's best work ever which I need in my life.

And I've been collecting the amazing Mafex Hush action figures. I recently bought the Absolute Edition and the Paul Dini Omnibus. The only story I haven't read is that Return of Hush story and the epilogue they recently released...

    I'm not a fan of Hush (I think the original story is probably the most overrated Batman story ever and it doesn't help that I hate how it overshadows Batman Dead Reckoning, which is basically the inverse Hush-the art's not great but the writing is amazing), but wow I love the design of this book! Also, small correction on reading order: Hush starts after No Man's Land, and it doesn't go into New 52. There were a few years in between Final Crisis and Flashpoint.

For me when I was reading the book it was like watching action, mystery, who done it, adventure story. For me I would put the Hush story, in the top ten best Batman stories.

    I’ve always thought about revisiting Hush Returns all these years later (I still have all of my original issues) but I’m not sure I’d want to put myself through that again 😜 I just remember it being such a convoluted mess that ultimately led to nothing (I believe “Gotham Knights” was unceremoniously canceled at the end of this and I think Lieberman had to rush out a conclusion). The Paul Dini stuff is the absolute cream of the crop tho-writing-wise it’s unquestionably the best part of this thing.

I mean, if you're half a Batman fan, you know that Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee did the first hush story, but no one seems to want to talk about the other ones. And Paul Dini is another name every Batman fan should have heard a few million times.

For those that don't have the Dini Omni or just have the OG Hush saga this is a great book to get for you.
