The New 52: Briefly Stating the Personal Opinions (Part Two)

Enter number four, Bat woman, #1! Opinion on cover-art, it's not superb but it's also not terrible. It's also almost abstract in coloring. It catches the eye right away especially with the skull at the base of the image, it makes you kind of wonder what the plot is. Not to mention...Our heroine looks kind of creepy and kind of evil! Exciting? Hell yeah, it is! It's blank but it's vivid! On to the story line, eh? Williams and Blackman make a pretty decent team as the book begins with a very eerie scene. I won't deny it, it's weird and dark and creepy! I didn't see it coming, that's for sure.

None the less, before I ramble about it, the artwork after the cover by Williams III is really good. It's different and I think it's drawn the way it is to accentuate every possible detail but that's only an assumption... Anyway, no words can describe what I am trying to say about the art so let's go back to the main details. The beginning totally threw me through a wall, I loved it. The amount of action, the conversations shared between characters... they're all in the perfect amounts and the characters mentioned in this issue remain pretty mysterious to the reader. As you go deeper into the plot, I noticed a slight change in the artwork- not an excessive one but still a change and then we have the parts of the awesome cover being revealed (WOO!) Bat woman hits a definite level of intricacy and it is very much enjoyable. Boom! Our story line spirals! We learn more about the history, we see our heroine's emotions- we see a bunch and then the ending meets us with a familiar face. Although, it is less exhilarating than the ones I have mentioned, it makes you ponder over what is going on with this feisty chick and if things are going to be resolved in any sense.

Next is Bat Girl, issue #1, (of course.) This is my leading lady... I fell in love with her the first time reading, note it wasn't Barbara but still the fact stands. It is one of my all time favorites and to make matters better, it's Gail Simone writing! I don't even have to read a single page before already knowing it will be a guaranteed like for me and then you add Ardian Syaf's artwork and I am already deeper in love than I was before. The cover is a classic! You know right away that it is our one of our beautiful, talented butt-kicking girlies! Her tale begins with an outstanding prologue which is much deserved for this character and we get to meet Babs ALL over again! Of course before and after DC decides to reintroduce this wonderful woman, they slam us with some more conflict!

What I like most about it is it takes place after all what Barbara has gone through and believe me, even if you didn't read any issues before this- it lets you know what the heck is going on so you're not sitting there thinking to yourself: "What?!" Over all, the whole plot is fantastic, the characters are powerful, the art is fab and the ending rules! This issue follows its predecessors and ends with a bang. Bat Girl ends up in one heck of a predicament and it leaves you wanting more like a fiend. Hell yeah, this is what I'm talking about!

Now, onto Deathstroke's issue 1! Kyle Higgins has put a new definition on Deathstroke, he raised the bar with the script by making damn sure that this character was portrayed perfectly and this bad a-- elegance is supreme. The art by Bennett is spectacular! He's got the perfect amounts of darkness, color and flawless facial features. Altogether, this book appeals to the eye from start to finish. Honestly, the amount of violence in this baby is awesome. Its action is an experience by itself, wondering what will happen and who will die? How bad of a guy is Deathstroke or is he going to have a good die? (You know like the pitiful villains from Secret Six that end up proving themselves a tad bit more by being rogues...maybe Stroke is going to be around those lines?) In all, I can't even explain or describe or think clearly on this one. I totally dug it and I want more of Stroke, see what's he going to do next and who else he can treat like his B----. That's right, I am so pumped for this villain it's ridiculous!

Hopefully the next personal opinions will be a little more detailed than I was here, because I am super summing it up because my brain is not on its correct functions at the moment. Wanna share some feed back? Please do, I am all ears (or eyes) to know what others think.
