For some reason, we’ve devoted two episodes to Batman: Hush.
Why did we do this to ourselves? For some payoff with The Riddler? The Riddler!?!?! Damnit, Loeb.
At least Thunderbolts #12 didn’t disappoint with the big finale to their first story arc.

Hush up y’all, this week we’re checking out one of the biggest Batman storylines of the 2000s with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Husssshhhhh [emphasis mine] from Batman #608-619.
We’re reading the first 6 issues in which we learn that Batman had a best friend named Tommy who has somehow never been mentioned in any comic before this one.
There’s also a mystery bad guy who barely shows up.
Cool.
Then, we’re getting real close to the end of the first Thunderbolts storyline in issue #11, which features zappy mind control laser beams!

Next Time: We finish up Batman: Hush with Batman #614-619
It’s noir time again as we revisit some Ed Brubaker! This time, we’re covering his Catwoman run with artists Darwyn Cooke and Mike Allred which starts in The Dark End of the Street, a collection that contains two whole stories!
The first is Slam Bradley on the hunt for Catwoman which originally ran as backups in Detective Comics 759-762, and then we jump into Catwoman #1-4 from 2002.
And then it’s more Batman as we continue Knightfall Chapter 13 with a strange Two-Face tie-in from Showcase ’93 #7.
