"Did you hear the news? Williams III isn't doing the next Batwoman Arc "Cutter". Nooo! They've replaced his awsome art with some crappy stuff. Oh well. Hopefully he'll return eventually. "I wouldn't say crappy, Jock is really good (he did the alternate cover for the last issue), and Cully Hamner has also done some very solid stuff (I'm familiar primarily with his collaborations on Warren Ellis projects). Here's Jock's cover:
