Batwoman #2

What can I say about Batwoman Issue 2? well the one thing that this comic has other than its great story is the artwork. This book has some of the best and most beautiful artwork that is being done in this age of comics where most of the art in other books are top notch this series really takes it to a compete different level. If you read comic books you better read these because to me the Batwoman series is right up there with Scott Snyder's Batman comics. When the new 52 came out i took it upon myself to read all of the bat family books (being a big batman fan) and I will be honest I didn't think I would enjoy batwoman as much as I have. It is a series that I am becoming to love and one that I now I am going to be looking forward to each month.
This issue deals with Batwoman aka Kate Kane training her new sidekick, the former flamebird, tracking down the mysterious weeping woman and trying to decide if she should join up with batman Inc. the story is solid with the weeping woman the artwork when it comes to this character is Gothic and at the same time beautiful. It is one of the more creepy aspects of the book which near borderlines this with the horror genre with the weeping woman kidnapping children and its up to batwoman to find out why.
The book is more of a detective book than it is action and something that i'm happy with that carries the bat name.

The Good:
Well I ave said enough about the artwork so will just say, yes J. H. Williams III is a god! but what really drives this comic is the mystery behind it all. Kate is a very mysterious woman and her motives are not always clear but its that which drives the character and keeps us reading on to find out what is going to happen. There are more sub plots going on in this than the actual plot but this is a good thing as it all fits in later and keeps character development strong and we never get bored of reading it.

The Bad:
While the story is good some readers might get a little mixed up or confused about what is going on with the main plot especially because of the sub plots that are going on so some people may not like the idea of having to give it a re-read at points to figure out some things but its really a minor bad point and not something that should be frowned at because this is a sold issue into the series.
