About this Collection

This collection wraps up the Batman: Streets of Gotham series with the 'House of Hush' storyline, focusing on Hush's elaborate scheme to torment Bruce Wayne and his allies. Written by Paul Dini with art by Dustin Nguyen and others, the volume features appearances by Catwoman, the Penguin, and a host of Gotham's underworld figures, while also exploring the fractured relationships among Batman's extended family. The story ties together threads from the earlier 'Hush' saga and the 'Heart of Hush' arc, delivering a tense psychological thriller set against the backdrop of a city under siege.

In "The Carpenter's Tale, Part 1 of 2," a chilling mystery unfolds as Jane Doe severs Tommy Elliot’s "Bruce Wayne" face in a desperate bid to escape Wayne Tower, setting off a tense confrontation that forces Bruce Wayne to intervene. Written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, this gripping installment blends psychological suspense with the eerie atmosphere of Gotham’s underbelly, all rendered in striking detail by Nguyen’s pencils and inks, with color by John Kalisz and letters by Steve Wands. The cover, also by Dustin Nguyen, captures the unsettling moment with haunting precision.
