wow…friggin wow.

Does anyone else feel guilty for looking at this? Like they should donate 1000$ to charity and 100 hours of community service until they’re worthy to gaze upon these really, really pretty pictures?

Very Pretty, but yeah, no interest in Batwoman.

Already seen the first two, but the third is new, and WOW! does it look good.

Pretty pictures, but the storytelling suffers from the focus on design

Having seen the preview pages at NYCC, and now this, I am even more excited. This art feels like it’s too good to just be in a monthly comic, like it should be a special event. The dialogue and pacing in the preview hooked me, so it should be a pretty kickin’ total package. Greg Rucka seemed really, really excited about it.

That is some amazing artwork. Worth the wait.

Can’t imagine a bigger pet peeve than to click a piece of art only to have it not open up any bigger

“wow…friggin wow.”

That about sums it up for me!!

“Does anyone else feel guilty for looking at this? Like they should donate 1000$ to charity and 100 hours of community service until they’re worthy to gaze upon these really, really pretty pictures?”

Yes–what you say!

“If the story is half as amazing as that art, my head will asplode.”

That sounds awful! Messy, disgusting… and (pfah!) smeeellll-y!!

“Pretty pictures, but the storytelling suffers from the focus on design”

But maybe this isn’t a sequence where linear storytelling is the main thing. Words on the page will make a big difference.

I haven’t followed the Bat-books in a while but, with those pretty pictures and Rucka handling the writing, I’m in.

If you need an active interest in Batwoman to read Greg Rucka and JH Williams on a book, you’re in the wrong damn medium.

blown away. Kate Kane looks amazing

I think it’s funny that in an age where the medium is creator-driven rather than character-driven that so many people are dismissing this book because it’s about a character they seemingly have no interest in. What, did you people actually care about Starman before James Robinson or the Rogues before Geoff Johns?

This is one title I am picking up solely for the art. With any luck the series may help me come around to the new Batwoman.

R-

well, if the furore over batwoman being a lesbian hadn’t totally overtaken the character i guess we would’ve seen more of her. but credit to DC for pulling back on that hype and instead waiting until we have a good writer and an _amazing_ (imho) artist to tell stories about her.

Hopefully her sexuality will be a relevant but not overpowering point when she takes over in Detective.

And am I the only one that wants to see JH Williams draw the Question’s smoke vs the Shade’s shadows???

And I see from the comments on panel 1 that someone’s forgotten the battle damage she took from Bruno Mannheim in 52.
