Batwoman #2

matkrenz's Batwoman #2 - Hydrology, Part 2: Infiltration review

But the dumb girl never drowns.

Review for Batwoman #2.

The Story: Kate and Bette fight some crooks and talk about Batman Inc. Agent Chase talks to Maggie Sawyer about contacting her if she sees Batwoman. They see a huge crime scene between a new gang and The Religion of Crime. The Water Lady claims another victim.

The Good: The art continues to be amazing. As everybody noticed with J.H. art is that he draws the costume scene's and the non-costume scene's differently and what I love seeing is both of those style's in a same scene, this showed very well when Chase came to talk to Maggie about Batwoman and it shows the difference between the two. Chase is much darker and seems somewhat cynical, while Maggie is much brighter seeing she comes from Metropolis. A theme also explored in Gotham Central. Still liking the little subplot of Kane wanting Bette to focus on being a vigilante, it seems like Kane sees her time on the Teen Titans made her not worry to pull her weight and let the more experienced people do the work. We get to see some more of Kane and Maggie relationship and Maggie being an awesome detective.

The Bad: We don't see much of the Weeping Woman. I get they couldn't rewrite everything because they would need to redo the art but they have Batman Inc in here. That will confuse the living crap out of new readers.

The Bad: This doesn't really continue the mystery of the Weeping Woman but we do get to see more seeds planted with Agent Chase, Bette and Kane and Maggie's relationship. Also the art is gorgeous but you knew that already. This is a buy.

Poetic Panels of Water, J3 delivers another masterpiece. 0

Even without Greg Rucka Batwoman still runs smooth like water flowing, at times slow and steady like a creek or strong and fast like a river.  The control of the narrative has always been in J.H. Williams III or simply J3's hands.  His panel layouts are perfect space economy, like how water fills a jar, the art fills the page where it needs to flow, J3's art is really poetic. In splash pages or wide pictures, smaller panels move within the panel, leading us with our eyes.  Another neat thing J3 ...

Batwoman #2 - Hydrology, Part 2: Infiltration by starkiller809 on October 12, 2011
Last issue of Batwoman was perfect. This time Batwoman #2 tries to deliver the same thing. Does it work as well as it did last time?   THE GOOD: the art is amazing. I like the contrast between her being Batwoman and the normal life. I also really like this story. It still mentions things from the Detective Comic's run and I think that is important. We get to see her fighting with her new sidekick and talking about the struggle she is having with her father. I really like seeing the Religion of C...
