Oh HUSH, what could I even say anymore. I remember reading it when it came out and just screaming at points, for instance at the point where Harvey explains how he got re-instated and freed the Joker, because it's not like the Joker wouldn't have been at Arkham anyway.
What annoyed me the most in the story was that Loeb actually set up a potentially cool twist with Hush actually being Jason Todd and that Tommy Elliot was just a really big red herring, but then had that actually be the red herring in question, Clayface do stuff he shouldn't be able to do and had Elliot be Hush, which had been so damn obvious from the start. It was just such a waste of an actually surprising twist, but at least it gave Winick inspiration for UNDER THE HOOD.
I could just go on so long about this and the separate parts, for example about the gigantic pass Huntress got in the book, how the Joker was sacrificed to push Hush or any of those parts, but that would just take forever.
