    I have to wonder how these decisions are made when it comes to reprints. Between Supersons, Watchmen and the original Hush story DC releases these stories so many times when there are so many other stories just sitting in limbo.

    Hey Omar, I just wanted to stop by and thank you. I wanted to get into comics a few years ago and mostly started with Ostrander suicide squad on digital. But I really wanted to start holding actual books because I've always preferred physical over digital with my prose books. I eventually found your channel when I wanted to find ways to preview collected books online before getting them. I've been watching a ton of your videos for over almost two years and have started a modest collection ever since. I absolutely love this hobby and it's helped me get through some tough times. Thank you so much, friend. You are awesome!

    Thanks for the spotlight. Predordered this as soon as it was on the radar. Sadly, I think this is the 4th time I'll have indulged myself in a Hush collected edition. Definitely needs to be the last time as this should be the definitive edition for anybody new, and old. Not the greatest Batman story in my mind, but it's some of Jim Lee's best work ever which I need in my life.

    The omnibus book I would like to get, but I not in any rush to get it yet . I would like to get the Absolute edition of Hush for the Jim Lee beautiful art works.
    For me when I was reading the book it was like watching action, mystery, who done it, adventure story.
    For me I would put the Hush story, in the top ten best Batman stories.

    I'm not a fan of Hush (I think the original story is probably the most overrated Batman story ever and it doesn't help that I hate how it overshadows Batman Dead Reckoning, which is basically the inverse Hush-the art's not great but the writing is amazing), but wow I love the design of this book!
    Also, small correction on reading order: Hush starts after No Man's Land, and it doesn't go into New 52. There were a few years in between Final Crisis and Flashpoint.

    Thanks for the information! It's really hard to find out who contributed to the other story lines after the first one.

And Paul Dini is another name every Batman fan should have heard a few million times.

I find this a lot with Batman omnis, by the time DC releases the Omni, I already have all the material in other collected editions and I can rarely justify double-dipping.
