Hush up y'all, this week we're checking out one of the biggest Batman storylines of the 2000s with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's Husssshhhhh [emphasis mine] from Batman #608-619.

We're reading the first 6 issues in which we learn that Batman had a best friend named Tommy who has somehow never been mentioned in any comic before this one.

There's also a mystery bad guy who barely shows up.

Cool.

Then, we're getting real close to the end of the first Thunderbolts storyline in issue #11, which features zappy mind control laser beams!

We've finally reached the end of Ed Brubaker's classic run on Captain America in issues 37-42. Steve Rogers is dead, probably forever, but now we've got Bucky running around with the shield.

We also get some other clown who thinks he's Steve, and the Red Skull is trying to get his puppet elected as president while also doing some time travel shenanigans.

Then we get to the beginning of the end in Thunderbolts #10. The secret is out! But how???

Next time: Batman: Hush Pt. 1 (Batman #608-613)

Y'all ever heard of this Galactus guy? Always running around in red and green, throwing gas bombs at the Fantastic Four? Yeah, that's classic Galactus.

Dude does way more than just planet-eating.

We read all about it in his very first appearance in Fantastic Four #48-50.

The Silver Surfer makes his first appearance too, spending most of these issues talking to a blind sculptor. Classic Silver Surfer.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #9, which was mostly an Avengers flashback. We spend a lot of time in the 60s this week!
