Batman: Hush

I always wondered where it was exactly that Jeph Loeb went from pretty decent comic book writer to big old piece of doodie. Turns out it was somewhere around part 8 of this year long storyline from 2002-2003. The plot is a long-forgotten childhood friend of Bruce Wayne comes back into his life at the same time a mysterious new figure starts stalking Batman. I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE. The worst part is when we hear the guy's motivation - because Bruce Wayne's father saved the kid's mother from death after his parents were in a car accident he caused. Then he had to wait until he was 18 to get his parents' wealth how awful. At least Jim Lee's art is pretty.

RATING: 62%

Cable, X-Man, and X-Force were really good when he was helming them.

That was when his son began to lose his fight with cancer.

Oh, right, I forgot about that. Now I feel like a real dingleberry.

However bad it got, it can't be worse than season 4 of Superntural.
