Unsure if it's still Bruce/Selina week or not
But either way I offer you 'Tec #850


Heart of Hush starts out pretty bland, a fairly general Bruce vs Enemy story. It's pretty neat, of course, thanks to gorgeous art and Dini writing, but nothing special, nothing that makes you go "oh my God I want this". The ending, however, is one of my favorites endings ever :)

Hush had used magic science to disguise himself as Bruce, and snuck up on Selina, with the bandages across his face. She gets a few strikes in, but she cut the bandages off, revealing a face that looks identical to Bruce's. She's shocked for a second, and Tommy gets the upper hand. He cuts her heart out and plans on having it slowly beat to death in front of Bruce, and then stealing all his money and killing his babies and mom. Bruce and the lads win, of course.





Zatanna had been a recurring character throughout Dini's 'Tec run. Her appearances were all great, and I highly recommend #833-834 and 843-844. It has a really natural flow, which doesn't seem like something that'd work but does fantastically seeing as how Zee's a magician and Dini's 'Tec run is very low-key, very street level. Earlier, Selina and her had been talking, and Zee acknowledged that Bruce's heart could only ever belong to Selina.






You can hear a pin drop, can't you?




"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!" Scotty said as he read this comic. "BRUCE AND SELINA 4EVA!"




I don't think I've ever seen Ivy and Harley as friends with Selina, but eh, setup for Bad Girls of Gotham I guess.



And that is why Dini is the coolest cat (hur hur hur) of them

Third ish of Harley Quinn, they all hang out at Harley's party. A few days later, Selina steals all of Harley's money, but they were friends for a while. I'm not sure if Catwoman and Ivy ever really got along outside of that one time, but Harley and Selina were also shown to be friends in the latter part of Catwoman v1. Sort of, anyway. They hung out a lot, until Sel realized Harley was using her.

But, really, don't you think Ivy and Harley would take any chance to get more money that they could? Selina's practically handing them cash.

And that is why Dini is the coolest cat (hur hur hur) of them
Well, duh.

It's very satisfying that even though Dini ships Bruce and Zee pretty hard, he still acknowledges that Bat/Cat is OTP.

Yay, the Gotham Girls might have their problems, but when someone messes with one, it means asking for trouble from all. I wonder if Pam's jaw was still smarting when Selina called her up. I guess Pam would have understood who was ultimately responsible.

Whether she'll ever be running around rooftops or diving off buildings again, I wouldn't be as optimistic.

How much ya wanna bet, Doc?

Now where's my kissing icon from Hush with Bruce and Selina... Oops! Wrong kissing icon from Hush.

This is why Selina's awesome... She doesn't go after Elliot's life. She decides to go after what he REALLY values. His Wealth.

I am of the opinion that EVERY week should be Bruce/Selina week. Just sayin'.

Yes, I love this issue so hard even if the rest of the storyline was sorta meh. I even like how she got her physical revenge on him too in the "Faces of Evil" issue. Even though I would hardly count Selina as "evil."

I really wish that we would see more of a reaction to Bruce's "death" from Selina. From what I recall, there hasn't been much beyond a "oh, so the rumors are true" from her.

The Gotham Girls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_girls) video series had some interaction between the three of them, although it's not canonical.

Also, this seemingly takes place after Countdown (obligatory shiver), where Harley hooked up with Catwoman 2.0, which adds an additional possible connection.

I'm of two minds about the "ending that lasted for only one night" that Selina talks about. It's highly unlikely that they had wild passionate monkey sex while she was in hospital recovering from heart surgery, but I can't quite imagine Selina and Bruce staying up all night talking about their feelings either. They know how to speak with bodies, not words.

I wish the art was prettier. I love the colors but nobody has any lips to speak of (no pun intended).

They could have just sat in silence.

I think it was a nice way to get around the fact that he still needed to be in love with Jezebel Jet for R.I.P.

As for the art: I personally love Nyguyen's style and get get enough of him.
I wish he was drawing Gotham City Sirens along with Dini and not just Streets of Gotham.

"I'm awake." :D :D :D

I'm still not clear on how she was still alive after he physically cut out her heart, I'd imagine that's the kind of thing that's decidedly not survivable, but comic books are like that. (Thanks for putting this up, as I really don't want to see that happen to Selina, but I do enjoy the BatCatCuteness)

Selina got one machine to keep her alive, while a separate machine kept her heart alive. Both were built by Dr. Freeze, master of life support and organ preservation.

Well, Selina used Elliot as a punching bag for quite a while, and then used him to get around some poachers, before finally having enough and sending him on his way with two 'guides', who were promptly revealed to be Dick and Tim, who immediately imprisoned him in Wayne Tower. That's where he is at the moment, supposedly, although future solicits say he's breaking loose and making all sorts of trouble using Bruce Wayne's face.

Selina, meanwhile, has finally made her way back to Gotham and is appearing in Battle for the Cowl, where she's naturally not on Jason Todd's side.

She let a rhino play with him for a while, then handed him over to Dick and Tim, who, along with Alfred, imprisoned him in a secret cell in one of the Wayne buildings.

Selina! Selina and Bruce! Selina and Bruce and Zee! I loved that issue so much.

I have a huge soft spot for Bruce and Zee being best friends. BECAUSE THEY ARE. Well. She tries.

That mind-wipe thing is pretty hard to overlook though. I wish they had taken the time to resolve that. Tampering with his mind would have been seen as a pretty big betrayal for Bruce and yet all he did was sulk a bit and then forgive her.

Thanks for putting these up, I was just about to. ^^

Heart of Hush stands to date as the only Bat storyline I've followed obsessively (buying each issue right when it comes out). I'll never forget the rage when it was delayed due to Canadian Remembrance Day.

*sighs happily*

"Since Selina" is like the "You had me at Hello" moment for me.

Bruce/Talia ain't got nothin' on Bruce/Selina. EVAH!
