Read 2 times. Last read August 5, 2010.
When I first read about Batwoman, my initial reaction was: "Cool! A gay, bat-related superheroine!" Then I thought, pretty much immediately right after: "Let's hope that gay isn't all she is." And then I waited.
Then came the previews. I still remember that I was taken aback by the red and black, and I wasn't sure I could like this. But then I actually read the preview and knew that I *had* to have this.
When the first issue was finally, finally released I was completely blown away. I had somewhat muddled expectations, I suppose, but this was *so* good. The artwork was so different and expressive and beautiful, and Batwoman herself - I was completely and utterly in love with her.
Reading this as a whole now was a great experience. This story does a wonderful job introducing her while also connecting to her first introduction back in "52". And she's more than just a gay, female Batman.
There's nothing I don't love about this book, really, but my favorite part is Kate's relationship with her father. The scene where she comes out to him and his reaction is so powerful and beautiful, I really don't have any words.
