Amazing story and art. Best comic I've ever read. I read it digitally, and am seriously thinking about buying a paper version just to have it. Don't know what more to say, if you are a fan of comic books this is a must read.
This was a first for me - reading a graphic novel/comic. I really enjoyed it. It was hard to get into at first, since it kind of jumps around and it doesn't have much depth to it, but after talking with the friend that recommended it to me and lent the copy to me, I found myself pulled into the story and imagining each panel as if I were in the room with Batman, Robin, Catwoman, Superman and all the others in this book.
Love the art work done on this! Everything from the layout to the inking to the color, 5 out of 5...I seriously wish I could draw like them. I would rate the story a 4/5. Great characterization of Batman and I really appreciate the continuity of it all. My favorite scene was when Catwoman tells Batman she'll claw his eyes out if he allows the bad guy to get away in order to rescue her. The identity of Hush was killing me. I had thought it was Dr. Elliot, then he died. Then Ra's said someone defiled one of his pits, so I was like okay Timmy is back. Then Jason comes in and I"m like wtf?! My mind was going in circles, which made the story fun. There was just something missing for me... But overall, I am very satisfied with this. So far, the books I've been reading in 2013 have been amazing. It looks like I've been starting this year off right =)
The comics obsession continues. This is one of those Batman stories that is regarded as a benchmark, and I can see why. I read this ages ago but had forgot the details. Jim Lee's art is excellent and Jeph Loeb's story is one that twists and turns to the final reveal.
If you are new to comics and want to start somewhere, this is a good place to begin.
