Evaluate Containing Books Batwoman, Volume 1: Hydrology (Batwoman (2011) #1)

I have mixed feelings about this. It was different and really artistic, but I wasn't that enamored with the story and Kate as a main character. I'm not familiar with Batwoman, so this is a very new character for me. I think that people interested in GLBT characters will really appreciate it. It's a favorable profile of a strong, empowered lesbian woman. However, at the same time, Kate has some issues. She's got major survival guilt and an anger problem. She's dealing with her angst in some ways

Batwoman (not to be confused with Batgirl) is a pretty interesting character. I love that she isn't affiliated with Batman...or at least not yet.As much as I enjoyed the plot, what really made it stand out so much (to me) was the incredible artwork. Every page was absolutely beautiful in it's own way. Truly.I only have one complaint. Or maybe it's just a question?Why the hell is Kate Kane so freakin' pale? No. Pale is not the right word here. White. And not like, "Hey look at that white girl

My daughter actually hipped me to this book since she is a brilliant student and quite the comic aficionado. Little did I realize that DC had already screwed the pooch by running off the writer/illustrators when they tampered with their lesbian story line. DC made some weak (as in hypocritical) response about superheroes never having healthy and happy lives, maybe another stereotype that should go out the window as well. The whole thing reeks of the comics-are-bad-for-you stigma that I thought

Interesting. I liked this more for the art than the story. The story wasn't bad, just didn't excite me. Despite this being volume one, you pretty much have to know who Batwoman is already to get much out of it. Fortunately, I read the first BW graphic novel some time ago. Anyway, as I said, what's really impressive about this book is the art. These are some of the most interesting and creative page layouts Ive seen in a long time. The pages drip atmosphere. Panel borders get all loose and

Batwoman is Kate Kane, the wealthy daughter of a retired army general, discharged from West Point Military Academy because of her homosexuality under Dont Ask, Dont Tell, and turned to a life of vigilantism after the untimely deaths of her mother and sister. Artist JH Williams III turns his hand to writing with co-author W Haden Blackman and the results are pretty good. The book opens with an interesting introduction to Batwoman through the eyes of Batman before introducing the books villains



It's incredibly rare to find a comic book artist who can pull off both writing and art, and unfortunately, if this book is any indication, J.H. Williams III is another casualty in that search. Truly, this book is beautiful. Genuinely some of the finest comic artwork I've seen in a mainstream book in a very long time. Probably the last time I felt this drawn in by the art of a comic was Sandman: Overture, which was also Williams. His flare for creative design, for upending traditional panel flow,
