4.5 starsThis was another excellent volume of Batwoman, and you really have to credit the creative team that put it together.It starts off with Kate and Maggie still struggling with the repercussions of the battle with Medusa, but their relationship seems strong enough to overcome it. Now that Maggie knows that Kate is Batwoman, there's definitely a deeper layer to everything. And I liked how she immediately has her back.In the Killer Croc one-shot, you get a look at how Maggie is fully capable
Great artwork. But the story was a bit disjointed and a bit too much all over the place. That lessened the impact and the excitement.
This time the story (including the Killer Croc interlude) flew really fast, appropriately supported by excellent artwork, well-executed dialogue-bubbles, and a real cliffhanger ending. Seems that I can't call it äll over"for Batwoman yet!
Honestly horrible spot to end the volume but I really enjoyed this set overall. Loved the Waylon Jones part. Surprisingly. Hawkfire is a great character. I loved seeing her develop more in this set. If anyone hurts Maggie Sawyer I will fight them. So many questions on Kate's family right now. The whole thing with Alice and the potential other siblings. I need answers.The creative team changes after this one and I have no hope that it will actually be something I'm still interested in honestly. J...
(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: It’s about family in all its manner and monstrosity: layering depth and flesh by reunions, concessions and absolution.
Four stars for Batwoman setting a trap for Batman. Minus 1/3 star for Batwoman allowing herself to be set up into setting a trap for Batman.Minus 1/3 star for wasting the reader's time on a whole issue devoted to trial runs, grand (dumb) romantic gestures and spooning. I'm open minded, but I don't like having to be pushed into being open-minded.Minus 1/3 star for Batwoman having the arrogance to set a trap for Batman, and for various other absurdities on the way.
J. H. Williams III and co bring their run on Batwoman to a...I want to say close, but it's not really, as everything is up in the air. I do like how this storyline is 7+ issues long, yet never seems to drag due to the large amount of moving parts, from Kate to Maggie, Bette to Croc, plus Chase, and Bones, and Alice, so there's never a dull moment. The artwork as usual suffers from not being Williams III, but Trevor McCarthy does an amiable job, with Francesco Francavilla's interlude issue being
Bullet Review:Wow. Good stuff. A shame DC chased away power duo, Williams and Blackman, mid-story arc.I'm afraid of Volume 5...
God, what a cliffhanger?? Renewed obsession with these series. Going to need to read the rest fairly soon. A little worried that the writer changed for the last two volumes just because I love this so much as it is. I guess I’ll see how it goes.
At first, I wasn't aware that THIS was JH Williams and W Haden Blackman's final volume in Batwoman. Since I don't live under a rock, I was aware of the duo's very public split with DC over the direction of the series, and whether or not Batwoman should become married (spoiler alert: they were all for it, while DC isn't much of a fan of their superheroes getting hitched). Granted, I understand that a change in the creative talent is pretty much an inevitability in superhero comics, but damn! What...
Review on my blog!
Beautiful artwork, beautiful dialogue, beautiful characters. Batwoman continues to be one of the best comic books in the market.4/5
This Blood is Thick abruptly ends the spectacular JH Williams III run on Batwoman. Shame on DC, the title went full south afrerwards. After the Medusa attack on Gotham, you know that another epic story is building up again, one that is more personal, one that involves Batman himself.I love where the series is going, the marriage, the battle of the Bat-cousins with all other supporting characters thrown into the mix. Volume four sets all that up, giving us an exciting preview on what the Batwoman...
Are you freaking kidding me? I read TPBs so they don't end in cliffhangers. So I get a complete story. But noooooo...This volume of Batwoman has to end in, not 1, but 2 cliffhangers. Crap. I really enjoyed this story. The action is great. Mags and Kate's relationship is fantastic. (Wasn't Mags originally from Metropolis?) I really liked the issue focusing on Croc. And the end was rather suspenseful - making the cliffhanger(s) much more annoying. I'll definitely be looking for volume 5.
I love this entire run! It’s definitely one of my favourite runs ever and it puts Batwoman among my favourite characters. This is a run I will love to reread it in a few years. I can’t mention this run without without mentioning its beautiful artwork. I love the contrast between the black, red and white. This entire run would be worth it enough for the artwork alone, but thankfully everything else is just as good. I love the mix of grounded and supernatural in the stories and how Batwoman deals
It's heart breaking that Williams and Blackman had to leave the book, because this is great. Sadly, they left in the middle of a large and important storyline. Huge cliffhanger. I can't not read the rest, but if it doesn't live up to what's here? Such a shame. It just felt like, for once, everything came together in this volume. This Blood is Thick is quite a long story, but it didn't at any point drag. There was always forward momentum. And I don't mean constant action, because much of that mom...
5 🌟Kate is tasked with finding out the secret identity of Batman in exchange for her sister.
Impressive graphics but it all got a bit messy and overloaded at times, and the story wasn't entirely captivating either.
Not sure what to say about this one, I've been ruminating on it for almost 2 weeks...It's not up to the same levels as Batman and Batgirl Vol. 4s, but it's sure better than the clusterfuck that was Vol. 3. Things finally come to a head here, but still, I really get the feeling that Kate Kane has no clue what the fuck she's doing. If that's the point, then no thanks. I don't mind a hero finding their way, or doubting things, but this is silly. Also, why throw in another pair of estranged family m...
Sadly this is the final volume of Batwoman from J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman. When DC editors asked them to go in a completely different direction with many of their storylines, they refused and stepped down which is an artistic decision I can respect.However, it leaves us without a resolution to this fourth volume of Batwoman and we may never get to see it completed. They were set to wrap up by Batwoman #26, but DC didn't even let them do that. The new creative team will take over in...
