J.H. Williams III: co-writer & artist
W. Haden Blackman: co-writer
It goes without saying that I will enjoy the art in this book. Its spectacular and just something you need to see.
Now the story, that is a little different.
I thought last issue was good, but this issue sorta takes a break from that. Kate tells the sidekick to take a hike, we get introduced to some water/dream creature that I am still not sold on as a villain or whatever it is supposed to be, and we get the reveal that a character who looks like Black Mask is in charge of some investigation to reveal who Batwoman is.
So we get some set up. We move the pieces around a little. And we wait until next month.
There is something about having too many subplots going on. In this issue, I couldn't really tell you what the main plot of the book should have been. So while some things did happen, it just didn't have the feeling that much had happened. Its weird, but I will roll with it and try to see what happens next time.
But look at the pretty pictures!
Words: 6/10 - needed more focus this issue.
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Not on its own. You need more to understand this. So new readers, please stay away, old readers are welcome to try.
Buy Next Issue: This is the only book I would consider buying just for the art, story be damned. So I'm sold!
