A harsh critique...? 8
Okay, here's some honesty: I only started reading this series because of a lesbian Batwoman. I feel better having admitted that. So… No tangents this time around about my personal life, let's just jump into the review. This is part two of Batwoman's origin story and I was much more satisfied with this issue than lasts; unfortunately that's not saying much because this issue has some severe flaws. My chief complaint (which is the most important) is that I'm just not buying this o...

Detective Comics #859: Don't ask don't tell 0
Homosexuality is a hot topic in the United States. I would be careful to place discrimination against homosexuals in the same context as segregation against African Americans (or those who would allegedly qualify under "Black" race in a check list for Driver's License). After all, I don't remember guards sending dogs to tear apart gay children for shopping in straight grocery markets. No, hatred against homosexuality is a little more covert. Since its harder to distinguish the homosexuals from t...

Review of Detective Comics #859 0
I like Greg Rucka. He's got a knack for stories that feel grounded and real and seems to do his best work when dealing with military and espionage stories.

Batwoman: Secret Origin Pt 2 of 3 0
Greg Rucka and JH Williams III show us with Detective Comics #859 that this is the best Bat book out at the moment. This is the best Tec has been in years and Batman only in it for cameos. With Go, part two we find more out about Kate past. It's in this issue we see more of her love life and a small peek into the relationship with her father before she became Batwoman. We also see Renee Montoya before the events of 52 meeting Kate for the first time. Greg gives you a great story for the long awa...

Go! 2 0
After the riveting first issue in this story line, I wasn't sure what to expect next. We take a jump a few years into the future... about thirteen if my math is right. We find young Miss Kane, not so young anymore, and attending West Point Academy. I guess the fact that she has joined the military is no huge surprise. We find out more on the personal side of Kate Kane. She's in love, but unfortunately, the love she has is not the kind allowed by the military. I like who the writers gave h...
