Really? This is it? This is the end to a comic that used to be such a fantastic title?Well. Ok, then...*bites knuckles, chokes back sob* Don't mind me, I'll just be over in the corner wallowing in my disappointment. On the flip side, I get to use this one for our Shallow Halloween Read, because it's stuffed to the gills with Creatures of the Night!{insert thunderous boom & evil cackling here}While not taking home the prize for Worst Comic Ever Written, it's still pretty damn painful. Especia...
After the last volume, I wasn't that thrilled with where Marc Andreyko was taking Batwoman, especially since he spent a lot of time on a storyline that didn't go anywhere. He showed that he could add drama to Kate Kane's social life without being too forced with it, but the actual Batwoman side of things was lacking.This (sadly) final volume of the series shows that he learned from his mistakes. Aside from Gotham By Midnight, most of the Bat titles have stayed away from the supernatural side of
Such a shit end to such a brilliant character and great series. WTF DC??? WTF.
This totally made no sense & was a really disappointing end to the series.
Remember the (one of many) short-lived New 52 series, Demon Knights? Well, some of that cast has been folded into Batwoman for no reason. And DC have dropped the “New 52” logo (it's officially dead, hooray!) on the cover though the storyline is still carrying on from when it was part of that range. Morgan le Fay is pursuing power for the sake of power (always a compelling motivation… zzz…) and it’s up to Batwoman to stop her. Along for the ride are a motley crew: Etrigan (sans Jason Blood), Alic...
(C+) 64% | Almost SatisfactoryNotes: It’s sham storytelling: a puppet show parody, perfidiously phony, and not pretty enough to camouflage its stupidity.
This book is an absolute mess. It starts off with a disjointed throw-away secret origin. Then it goes directly into the regular book with Batwoman in space and teamed up with the Demon and Clayface among others. First of all sending Batwoman to space is just dumb. The whole issue is this big battle with Morgan Le Fay and her demons. There's no narration to clue you in that this is what's to come in the future. The issue ends with her blacking out. The next issue picks up where the last volume le...
Quite a drop in quality from the usual 5 and rarely 4 stars given to previous books when Williams was one of the writers. I could go into the details but the other reviews have covered the salient points.I'm sorry they ruined you, Batwoman. OVERALL GRADE: C minus to C.
This is a hot mess. Batwoman was always a smart series, about bigger issues than the latest baddies assaulting Gotham. Kate Kane was not a 20 year old with delusions of grandeur. She was an adult; a soldier who wore the suit to serve her country in the only way she could after being thrown out of West Point. She was in a healthy relationship that was not always easy, but she and Maggie valued each other enough to keep working at it.Now we have Kate and Maggie at each other throats like petty tee...
Before I say anything , Batwoman is my favourite superhero and before I read this I knew how bad it was supposed to be and that this was a major reason Batwoman was cancelled , I still bought the trade knowing this and went in with a really open mind and a need to love it and I saw some positive reviews on here ( maybe got my hopes up a bit)I don't really do reviews but I needed this out of my system.Semi spoilers below but at this point who cares.Well....The artwork was ok?Like 80 percent fine
5 🌟Kate deals with the return of Beth and Nocturna. She also forms a team with Clayface, Ragman, Etrigan, and Red Alice to fight Morgaine le Fey.
Hisssss!!Boooooooo!!!!!You gotta be kidding me!
Well, that was a disappointing mess. At least we have volumes 1-4...
My favorite part of this volume was that the subtitle for of a bunch of the collected issues was "How in the Hell Did We Get Here?" It's funny because it's true. What a mess. It starts with a pointless abridged origin story that's been covered already -- and even I remember it, so it was probably covered pretty well -- and then dumps us into Point C of the volume's main story, then just when you think that you must have missed some sort of crossover in another title, it zips back to Point A, but...
1.5 starsThis is such a weird volume. This series started strong enough to make Batwoman a favorite hero of mine, but then the writer changed and it just dropped off down to this.This isn't really a spoiler, but how did Batwoman, Ragman, Etrigan, and Clayface all end up on a ragtag team of do-gooders who follow a fight with Morgaine Le Fay into space and an alternate dimension? That being said, it was so far out of what I expected that it wasn't the worst thing I've ever read just for how ridicu...
If you enjoyed the first 5 volumes, don't read this one. I've never dropped acid, but I imagine this is what a bad acid trip is like. The storyline and newly-introduced characters make no sense. Like literally no sense at all in any part of the entire history of bat-anything within the DC Comics universe. Very poorly written. Complete character assassination of Batwoman. This is a horrible end to what started out as a very good story full of possibilities. I really can't imagine how it could hav...
Well. That's it then, huh? I'm... umm... *heavy sigh*The "Secret Origin" issue is a waste of time and turns Kate's emotional backstory into a disjointed, emotionless summary that you shouldn't even bother reading. Read the actual beginning of the Batwoman series instead (if you haven't already) and you'll fall in love with Kate Kane.So, where does our hero find herself when the story begins? In space. With a bunch of characters I either don't know or don't care about, and Kate's sister, Beth AKA...
This went from being one of the best New 52 comics to being a shadow of its former self. Note to DC bigwigs: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You screwed the pooch here.
Where the Hell is Batwoman ?? What Have you Done to Her ??
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. It was a nice campy turn, with Batwoman teaming up with demons to battle Morgan Le Fay--in space!--while fighting off a gold digging vampiress in the bedroom. There's even a Hammer reference. Bring this book back, DC.
