4I first read the rebirth issues of the character when I decided to read Batwoman over Batman. I soon found myself losing interest and gave up on the character. I soon rediscovered the character during one of the DC animated movies and thought I'd check out some isolated runs. Haunted Tides doesn't require an extensive knowledge of the mythology and I read this with no real complaints. It's a tad dramatic in places but overall I enjoyed the story and character. I may finish my rebirth collection...
I had read some of the New 52 Batwoman back in 2011 but I couldn't remember if it included what was collected in Haunted Tides - I had read some but not all of these issues. I love the art by JH Williams III; it's gorgeous and the use of colours and the composition is amazing. I wish that he had been the artist for issues #6-#11, but the art in those was still spectacular. Really interesting story - I like the inclusion of all the urban legends. I was just hoping for a bit more character develop...
Great story and great artwork. Only thing I didn’t like was all the time jumps back and forth in the last quarter of the book.
This book contains Batwoman (2011) vol. 1, Hydrology and Batwoman (2011) vol. 2, To Drown the World. Kate Kane deals with Medusa and the DEO.
Beautiful, intricate artwork and colouring that really pops and brings the story to life. I don't think this is a good place to begin with Batwoman because I felt a bit lost. Sorry Batwoman, it's not you. it's me.
Haunted Tides is a compilation of two older Batwoman volumes, both of which I'm certain I've read. That annoyed me at first (read the fine print!), but I quickly found myself caught up in the story being told. This is a quality Bat-person tale: a solid mystery, a creepy villain, a mysterious government organization, and plenty of personality quirks and family issues.Kate Kane's stuck in Gotham after the partially explained events of the previous series. With her twin sister dead, Kate's on the o...
This one was a little all over the place. Having dumped Alice into Gotham Harbor, Kate's got some PTSD, but there's so much weirdness to this story that it's hard to focus on the character work.There's this group Medusa that is creating mythical monsters based on belief and rigged circumstances and is then using those monsters to harvest victims to strengthen another hidden figure and I liked it better when Gotham was a bit more down to Earth. The art is trippy. If you like that sort of thing, t...
Solid story, fantastic art.
Part 1: 5 stars / Part 2: 3 stars.
It was about time I owned a 'Batwoman' comic. A prominent mainstream LBGTQ superheroine like Batwoman deserves as much recognition and praise as possible (I also like the TV series - more rep like in that, please!). She deserves her iconic status. Something like 'Haunted Tides' seemed like a good place to start my education. I'll get to another 'Batwoman' book once it arrives at my doorstep.I really enjoyed reading this one. I enjoyed the characters and their individual arcs, the action, the mys...
Fantastically drawn, really interestingly laid out. The first issue did some really interesting work with time and story lines on the page that I loved lingering over. The use of flashback was interesting at first but overplayed in the last couple issues so it was feeling jumpy toward the end. The story was well done and engaging. Definitely worth picking up if you are a fan of super hero graphic novels.
Batwoman tries to stop children from being kidnaped and drowned by a sea ghost.
Oh my gosh!This is so good!!! The writing, art, and everything else just meshes in a way that works perfectly for me! I don’t even totally know why, because it’s a lot darker than I often go with the comics I read, but it was luscious and intricate in a way that just made it a really rewarding reading experience for me. It was almost like the comic equivalent of getting to drive a really, really nice, well-made car (if that makes sense).There are so many details I could discuss that I liked—like...
Bat Woman hunts down the cult known as Medusa which has popped up from nowhere bringing with it Gotham’s most feared urban legends. Great character development and solid storytelling. The art was beautiful and engaging throughout.
My first Batwoman comic! I’ve been a fan of the show since it started and got this book back in January. Now that the show is well... changing... I was finally inspired to pick this one up and actually read it! I loved it and I’m glad I can still have Batwoman in my life. Can’t wait to read more! I wish it didn’t have so many time jumps in the very end, that made it a bit confusing- but I loved it anyway!
3.5 starsAwesome art. The first half was really good but the second half was a bit hard to follow. There was a lot of jumping around on the timeline and since I wasn't completely familiar with all the characters involved, it made it a bit difficult. Of course, the environment in which I was reading this may not have leant itself to extreme attention to detail.
An odd mix of intrigue and suspense combined with a really long drawn-out story. The artwork is great throughout, and the detective work puts Batwoman on par with Batman. The timeline (10 days ago, now, tomorrow, 2 days ago, etc) was really confusing, and a straightforward time would have made it so much better.The overall story was interesting, but it didn't need to run for as many issues as it did, by the end, I was just ready to move on to the next story.
