Jeph Loeb has a pretty illustrious history in comics as a writer. In Batman alone, he has written the fantastic Batman: Long Halloween (a key inspiration for Batman Begins) and its follow up Dark Victory, two stupendous stories which suggested he'd strike it lucky a third time too. Right?
Wrong. Somewhere between these two books, Jeph Loeb lost his mojo. This first volume of Hush (and why a 12-issue story needed to be published in two volumes of different sizes when even this same writer's previous stuff wasn't is a mystery) begins a rollercoaster story the ending of which you can see from a mile off. Many of the characters and dialogue styles are identical to those used previously ("no one can resist me" says Poison ... Read More: >>More Details |

I'm not going to write a huge review of this here, suffice to say if you liked Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Haunted Knight, the Dark Knight Returns and all those sort of Batman stories you're in no way going to be disapointed by this. In fact you're probably going to love it. One of the greatest Batman stories out there. Be sure to read part 1 first!

Batman: Long Halloween (Batman)by: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale October 29, 1999 |

I have to state that I'm not a great lover of the noir graphic novel, and I sometimes think that Batman's enemies are more interesting than the man himself. I did approach this title with an open mind, though, as I had enjoyed Batman books in the past, such as Alan Moore's superb Batman: The Killing Joke and Frank Miller's take on the Dark Knight.
However, I have two problems with this book. Firstly, I didn't like Tim Sale's artwork very much - so already I'm on to a loser. I found it flat and dark and uninspiring. I much prefer a more detailed and bright artwork, such as that by the likes of Gary Frank, John Cassaday or Frank Quiteley. Secondly, well, the story itself was ever so simplistic and there was little in the way of true introspection ... Read More: >>More Details |

Batman: Haunted Knight (Batman (DC Comics Paperback)) (Batman (DC Comics Paperback))by: Jeph Loeb September 01, 1996 |

I started reading Batman comics after watching Batman Begins. I first read 'The Long Halloween' and 'Dark Victory', both from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, and I suggest to read those too, you will not regret it because Loeb & Sale are the best! They bring Batman to life, with a great story line and marvellous drawings. This book, 'Haunted Knight' contains 3 stories, made a deep impression on me. Gripping and dark, these stories show Batmans distress from the past and present. He suffers and you share in his grief. Does he have a choice? The city has chosen him to do what he has to. In the first story he has to deal with the Scarecrow. And there's also room for some romance in his life,... or not? The second one is about the Mad Hatter kidnapping children, including ...

The review below catches all the feel and background-stuff, but one piece of informnation cannot be stressed enough: This collection, beautiful as it may be, does NOT contain the actual story of Captain America's death.
For the real story, you need either Captain America #25 or the collection "Captain America: Death of Captain America - Premiere v. 1". This book collects a lot of very emotional and overall well-written stories about reactions to Captain America's demise, and is an excellent example of the more sombre and serious style of recent Marvel-titles. For the entire background, you probably want the "Civil War - Captain America"-collection too, although that one really is more about Cap's former sidekick Bucky. I myself got the ...

The only think I didn't like about this book was the art work for I think Factor X. I didn't know any of the characters from anything else I'd read and the art just isn't my cup of tea. It doesn't fit this series in my opinon.
However, the rest of the art work is AMAZING! Several really great moments. Steve Skroce's work on whatever book he's drawing and Jeph Loeb writes that one two (though I feel the writers here are working to adhere to a unified representation of the project rather than trying out new things or writing in their own styles). Other amazing art is the work on The Astonishing X-Men run. There are two of the books sandwhiched into the third part of the AoA and it's fantastic. I like this part best because I think I know the X-Men starring in ... Read More: >>More Details |
