james_desantis 's review for:
Batwoman, Volume 1: Hydrology
by W. Haden Blackman, J.H. Williams III, Dave Stewart
For the longest time I wanted to read this series because of the things I heard about it. "This will make you a Batwoman fan" and yeah...they were right.
So Kate Kane is Batwoman. You didn't know that? Got confused about Batgirl and Batwoman? Don't worry, this book will fix that. So this Batwoman is dealing with hunting down someone, or something, who is taking children and kidnapping them. ON top of that she is also training a girl to be a warrior, a fighter, and of course things get a bit confusing there. Then we also have the cops/detectives hunting down Batwoman while Batman tries to recruit his cousin to his Batman INC.
Good: The dialog is pretty great. Everyone feels human, with major flaws, that make them super interesting. The art is beautiful as well as the fights themselves. The main villain is a sad one, and not the typical shit you expect. The ending is both intriguing and interesting lead to the next part.
Bad: I'd say sometimes the panel layout is a bit confusing. I also have issues with Kate's skin tone. It makes her look like a zombie, it was distracting.
Overall great first introduction to Batwoman. Makes me want to read a lot more. A 4 out of 5.
