Batman: Heart of Hush by Dustin Nguyen, Paul Dini, Derek Fridolfs
5.0
I devoured this book as soon as it was available in-stores. Of course I read each issue prior to that but it ain't as good as reading in succession.
The villainous concoction of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, Hush, aka Thomas Elliot, is once again up to no good and seeks to bring his nemesis Batman down, reaching Bruce Wayne where it hurts most (hey, I just noticed how that statement could be misconstrued): his heart. It's a race against time to save the woman who's meant more to Bruce than he's ever allowed.
Plenty of Batman and Catwoman banter thrown in with a very poignant move forward in their tumultuous but utterly electric relationship. If it will ever amount to more is another question, but would we have it any other way?
Paul Dini consistently churns out fantastic narratives, and more importantly there are no pretensions about his writing (Grant Morrison, I bite my thumb at you, sir)! Dustin Nguyen's pencilling is equally refreshing, especially his watercolours which are mind-bogglingly well executed. I love them.
Not entirely sure how this pertains to the main RIP storyline, but what the hell, this sure as hell makes more sense, ergo more enjoyable to me at least.
