October 6, 2012 10:48 am Thanks TurdSandwich! LOL! I am far from a vampire person, more a werewolf guy, but this book is intriguing me enough to pick up the trade sometime soon.

July 23, 2012 2:58 pm The issue kept the story going and the Detective twist was a pretty good one. However, you are right, the detective should be made and should have been made a stronger foil earlier. The art really suffered too this issue. There is one panel where Dick Grayson looks like he melted while talking to the banker. Good series, but this one had some stumbles but showed promise in the storytelling.

December 31, 2011 10:14 am I agree! I was scrolling through and thought Batwoman would be closer to the top. In four issues she really made a huge impression at the end of the year with great writing and art. She also is in the 15 of the new DC sales titles. Why not?

October 3, 2011 2:46 pm I would put myself in the category of "new reader." The inner 10 year old in this 40 year old had his interest peaked by the big excitement about the DC Comics reboot. When I was a kid, I read DC Comics (except for some X-Men from Marvel) and through a couple periods of my life picked up anthologies of Batman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and the Justice League. The Batman Arkham Asylum series brought me back because it gave a different perspective and twist into the comic world at the time. I kept interested now and again but maturity (whatever that is defined as) had me ignore comics now and again until a friend would hand me a book that would reawaken me. Recently, that book was the IRREDEEMABLE series from BOOM! And with Waid being one of the creators, looking back over my old books I had in a box, was the reason why. RED SON also gave me a look into another alternate perspective on the superhero, although not as strong as IRREDEEMABLE did. But that is what led up to me jumping on the bandwagon so to speak this month. So far The Flash and Batwoman #1s have not disappointed in telling stories and delivering characters I can look forward to reading next month, like an old time serial. I am a little frustrated as a "new reader" though is the turn around time on the subscriptions by mail, but I realize now after asking around that the comic book store should have been my first stop on this. A newbie mistake of course. Coming from the "new reader" perspective though has shown me what the true battle is. It isn't that kids will not be able to dive in and read, IMHO. It is whether adults who left DC Comics and comic books in general will dive back in like me. Sure kids are the future, but the money is really from people like me wanting to share with our kids or just look back into a medium that was part of our childhood. I had to ask myself, "Is subscribing to a comic book series a mid-life crisis or is it looking back an old medium for a way to enjoy potentially really exciting stories?" I obviously answered this question "yes." But is the general adult population like me? For me I started by picking my tried and true titles that I mentioned above and then looked at reviews and picked up Batwoman and Animal Man to give me something that was a true mature story but with a superhero. I think it will be interesting to see what books drop off and pick up as the months go on and the books show their strength. I hope that its the strong stories and not just the normal names that sell. That will be what shows the true strength or weakness of this reboot for me, the novice.
