Batman: Hush: DC Compact Comics Edition

I was very contented to have this. I am able to read the Hush Storyline without breaking the bank. The artwork is still there only in compact size. So if you are a collector and do not want your whole Hush Storyline Collection pages damaged, buy this so you can read it without hesitation.

Amazing artist and amazing story. Sadly the size of the book makes it hard to enjoy the art. Although it was my fault for not being more vigilant with checking how many inches wide and long the book was in the item description, it’s way too small, and it’s the only reason I left a star off that perfect review score.

I am a big collector of Omnibus and Trade Paperback comics. I was curious about the new smaller budget format from DC, so grabbed Hush to fill a gap in my collection. The quality of the book itself and content within, cant be beaten for its RRP. Nice to see DC finally following the Manga model to make American comics more accessible. These should be available in every store that sells books and ever green. The pros, it very much goes back to the way they made the old Vertigo paperbacks, a cheaper/lighter and grittier paper quality, which I personally really like. The cons, when you scale down artwork and especially text that was intended to be twice the size, it can make the legibility very difficult. It may just be for the Hush title, but Batman's speech bubbles for example were insanely small and hard to read. I think DC may overlooked this issue.

Es el segundo Compact Edition que compro y la verdad es que muy contento. El tamaño es correcto y se disfruta un montón. Yo los leo en la cama antes de dormir. Algunos textos se ven algo pequeños pero te acostumbras rápido y en muy poco ni te enteras. El papel es tipo hoja gruesa de libro, sin brillo, pero las impresiones son buenas y se aprecian todos los detalles en los grafismos. Obviamente las versiones mas grandes se disfrutan más, pero por el precio que tienen estos Compacts comparados con las otras versiones, merecen la pena del todo y son perfectos para leer en la cama o llevarlos de viaje.
