Mildly Disappointing
I was such a huge huge fan of the Hush books. Totally amazed me & for a long time Batman fan who’s read the lot & owns a lot of comics, for a comic to give me that buzz is really big thing. It happens once in a blue moon. So when I heard that Hush (possibly the most brilliant Batman villain? Unique. Deep. Relentless. Frightening?) was returning, I thought 'brilliant'. But I was left feeling pretty deflated when I finished reading Hush Returns. It just felt 'half finished'. The ending was disappointing... the break halfway through to 'fill the reader in on what’s just happened in the bits we couldn't be bothered to write' was terrible & although the artwork is stunning & the story had 'potential', I think its dangerous to tamper with a storyline of such high calibre as the original Hush books, unless you've got something truly groundbreaking to do with it... which unfortunately wasn't this book!

Poor
If you enjoyed Hush then you will be dissapointed with this poor attempt at a sequal, disjointed and unfinished in my eyes and a waste of my money and time, don't buy this....that is all I have to say.

dreadful avoid this rubbish
After reading the original Hush storyline I thought I'd try Hush Returns why not? after the sheer brilliance of Hush I actually looked forward to seeing the return of possibly the most original foe Batman has faced in a long while.I counted down the days till the book arrived!! more amazing art more brilliant scripting !! yes I was eager to read the next chapter in the Hush saga!!.....Then the book arrived I sat down to read it & I can say in all honesty it is the worst Batman story I've ever read.The art is dreadful there is a full page drawing of Green Arrow it is so bad ...well if you are unlucky enough to read the book you will see for yourself...as for the story it is laughable the Joker is given a christian name and is out to revenge the death of his wife!! I know it's taken from The Killing Joke but the Joker is totaly insane he just would not do that especially after twelve years.Hush is badly portrayed as well and according to this Batman has to dig up Tommy Elliots coffin to prove he is Hush he knew that in Hush....whoever you are reading this please please avoid this drivel I have been reading Batman for forty years & I can honestly say it is dreadful... a painful experience
