    Did Detective Comics make the cut?!

    In Cutter part 3 of 3 the cutting edge villain is finally captured. During the story it turns out that Batman and Batwoman were solving different parts of the same case. I guess to the cutter's girlfriend beauty hurts, but for the people around her. We finally see the bandages unraveled, and it turns out that she's old and ugly. What a suprise. Both women in both cases love the men that captured them, which I find weird. I think Kate Kane needs a new hair cut or style, because it isn't working for me. I love her hair in her costume, but not in her everday life. At the end the girl captured by cutter in Batwoman's case wants to join the fight for Gotham and revealed to be wearing a costume. It kind of looks like Katana's costume, but it isn't. Now to the details. The cover art I felt was very good. I loved the details between Cutter and Batwoman. The out line is the Batman signal with blood splattered around it. I like that because it's simple, but cool. The penciling was average. It got a little sketchy at times but that's it. The coloring was poor. There were two main colors. Blue and Red. I know it's because of the Batman and Batwoman stories but come on it was way too much. I absoultely adored pages 10 and 11. 
    Now for the Question feature. The story was average except for the Huntress and Question part. I loved it. The ending was soooo good and I cannot wait for the next one. The art was a little above average. So I would say it was good. The penciling was average it lacked detail. The coloring I thought was very good. My favorite page was the last one on the last panel. I gave this entire comic a 3.5 because it was a little above average. I am still a fan.

        Detective has been one of my favorite Batman books since their re launch.  Rucka has the hot buttons on Batwoman and the Question.   JH Williams' art was top notch and Jock has done a fine job with the first 2 issue of this arc. This issue he is joined by Scott Kollins.  Good stuff to be had every month.  With this issue we have a Batman (Bruce Wayne) story running concurrently with our present day story.  I love the back and forth panels with conversation starting in one and completing in the...

      I must be pretty slow... I did not see that one coming.  About halfway through I finally figured out that Batman and Batwoman are trailing the same criminal, just a decade apart.  The page(s) where it's the Cutter's face with Batwoman on one half of the page and Batman on the other, that it finally dawned on me.  This is the same guy, just different times. I liked the use of the colors in this Cutter story line.  When it was blue, you knew it was the Batman case and when Red it was the Batwoman ...
