Co-feature Art by CULLY HAMNER
Cover by JH WILLIAMS III
Size: 40 pages
Price: 3.99
I found the art in this issue generally solid, but with some significant highs and lows. I really like the way Jock draws Jim Gordon. Therefore, I love the entire fourth page. Unfortunately, I really dislike the art on the page where Batwoman puts her cape over “Cutter’s” head. Batman looks especially odd in that first panel.
The story was fun. I typically enjoy parallel storytelling when it is executed at a high level, as it is here. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Rucka’s Batwoman stories.
I love the work of JH Williams III, but this cover really highlights the one problem I have with his Batwoman. Look at her chest. That’s just too much nipple for me. I guess she’s using those the same way Batman used the yellow oval (or Robin’s entire costume).
Thank you sincerely for your time,
Chris Clark
Art: 4 - Very Good
Why, oh why don’t my paragraph breaks show up when I post reviews on this site?? I blame Chrome.
That happened to me too… it sucks. And I don’t think Batwoman wears a bra… the suit provides all the support she needs but no nipple coverage oh well. LOL
@GLNancy – It seems like she would need some kind of protection. Nipple tape?
