The signs were there…
Last week, we reported that among the publisher’s whopping seven Facsimile Editions scheduled for January, DC planned on reprinting 2002’s Batman #608 and #609 — the first two chapters of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s epic Hush.
What wasn’t immediately clear was whether the company was planning to publish the rest of the 12-part saga as Facsimiles, similar to its handling of Crisis on Infinite Earths and Batman: Year One. But then came the announcement during New York Comic Con that Hush 2 — by the same creative team of Loeb, Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair — is headed your way this spring, in the pages of the main Batman title.
With that, it seemed like a fait accompli, and now the word around the dark alleys of Gotham City is that, yes, the original Hush will be reprinted as a full skein of Facsimile Editions, with at least two issues a month to start 2025: Jan. 1 and 15 (as we reported), then two in February and two in March. Whether the run will maintain that cadence into April and beyond is not yet clear.
Batman #613
I haven’t read Hush in a long time and I’m looking forward to experiencing it again, in individual issues. Sure, I have the trade, but this is more fun.
