She’s only just recovering, but getting right back on the crime-fighting horse. Specifically, the previous Madame stabbed her in the heart. There’s a new leader of the Religion of Crime (which I first came across in the new All-Star Western series), and Batwoman has a history with this group. I also liked that there were two styles to the visuals – one for “present” day and Batwoman’s scenes, which was sharper, more modern and gothic and a second “flashback” style that looked at Kate Kane’s past and evolution into Batwoman, which had a more vintage feel to it. Specifically, I like that the artists don’t use just the standard square or rectangular block-frames, and they’re far more innovative with the way pages are composed and put together. There are a number of things that also make the composition stand out from most other comics. This graphic novel is filled with some of the most superb, atmospheric comic art I’ve ever seen – on a par with Bermejo’s in Batman: Noel.
Writer: Greg Rucka | Artist: JH Williams IIIīatwoman battles a madwoman known only as Alice, inspired by Alice in Wonderland, who sees her life as a fairy tale and everyone around her as expendable! Batwoman must stop Alice from unleashing a toxic death cloud over all of Gotham City - but Alice has more up her sleeve than just poison, and Batwoman’s life will never ever be the same. Both the graphic novel and the new series are great.
I’m a big fan of Maddow’s, and saw her introduction to the collection as a great endorsement. I must admit, however, that it was the fact that Rachel Maddow wrote the introduction to the first Batwoman collection, Elegy, that really piqued my interest and helped me notice the title in the first place. First, we have Elegy, a collected Batwoman graphic novel that I was told forms a good introduction to the events that take place in the New 52 Batwoman comics, which form the second part of this review.īatwoman as a character and title to follow was attractive for a variety of reasons – most importantly the more gothic, horror-influenced storylines. Here I finally get around to reading and reviewing the final Batman-related title of the New 52. Another superb series, with a difference, in DC’s Batman Franchise
