Batwing #7
Written by Judd Winick
Pencils: Dustin Nguyen
Inks: Derek Fridolfs
Words: 8/10 - this was the payoff issue for the Kingdom's setup. I would say that it works pretty well. And I have to give kudos to anyone who uses Batgirl as a guest star and puts her in front of a computer. That's miles above what she has done in her own comic.
Pictures: 8/10 - very well done. Can this be the regular series artist?
Recommend: Yes. If you are a casual Bat-fan reader and haven't been following Batwing, this is a decent jumping on point. I would saw that you may be ticked off that the Bat-cast isn't featured much, but the story of the Kingdom should be entertaining for ya.
Buy Next Issue: Let's see the conclusion!

Writer: Judd Winick
Pencils: Ben Oliver
Inks: Ben Oliver and Brian Reber
Words: 7/10
Pictures: 7/10
Recommend: What I thought would be the finale for the first story arc, but its anything but. Passable.
Buy Next Issue: Maybe that's the finale? Probably not. But knowing that issue #9 brings the Court of Owls to Batwing and he is still in Gotham, I don't like the idea that the first African Batman has to finish his opening story in Gotham and not in his own turf.

Words: 7/10 - moving of the pieces. Minor character development.

Recommend: I'm fifty fifty on this. I would say wait until issue 6 comes out and then read them both together.
Buy Next Issue: Let's finish out the first arc!

Recommend: Yes, definitely. This is one of the sleeper hits of the new 52 that will grow on you.
Buy Next Issue: I'm looking forward to it.

Recommend: I'm beginning to think that we need a wait for the trade approach for this book.

Words: 7/10 - which is about average for Winick for me.
Pictures: 6/10 - Not much in terms of a sense of storytelling, just looks nice.
Recommend: Not so much. Maybe for Batfans to give a try, but it can be skipped over.
Buy Next Issue: I will be. You may not be. I have a feeling this may be the first Bat-title that will be cut from the reboot, but it has potential to stay afloat.
