Hush, the Batman series illustrated by Jim Lee. I'm sure there are a bunch of options I missed, but please try to pick one listed here. Feel free to discuss as well.

I voted "No, I disliked Hush". The art was very nice to look at, but the revolving door of celebrity villains just bored me, the story was forgettable, and the "mystery" was laughably obvious.
Oh, and the Jim Lee-designed Huntress costume was ugly as hell.

I voted no read, no plans to. I'm having a real problem finding a relatable Batman, so I lack interest in any recent year stories. Plus I do know who's behind it all.

I think Jim Lee is a great pin-up artist and illustrator whose storytelling skills are sorely lacking and who is mostly style over substance, so I never bothered with HUSH and probably never will.

I read it. Wasn't too impressed. I voted "didn't like" just because I expected more from this team.

I think Hush is easily the best thing Lee ever drew. Loeb seems to have just one Batman story to tell though, and he's told it several times now, including Hush. I think though, that being the case, it was as good as any of the other ones. It was too bad that they didn't ever come back after 6 months and tie up all the loose ends as they planned to.
All that was a long way to say "I liked it".

I think Jim Lee rocked on this and is his best work ever EXCEPT he was WAY off the mark in his look for the Joker and the Riddler.

Best work of Jim Lee's career.
The story wasn't much.

IAWTP. The art was great(I just repacked the issues last weekend), but the story itself wasn't very memorable.

Enhh, it was okay. Nothing to write home about. Not a big fan of Jim Lee's art, but the story was pretty good.

I liked it.
In a lot of these opinion threads, I find myself just needing to type "What Jeff said." I'm a WorstModEvah wannabe.

I liked it. I even have the Absolute version of it. I have to say though that the books strength is in the art not the writing.

I liked it just fine. I wouldn't put it in my top ten list of Batman stories, but it was fun.

This story arc was such crap it should have been called "Flush."
It's a recycled telling of The Long Halloween with a few cosmetic changes and name alterations.
