Once again, I was completely pulled in and captivated by the writing of Marguerite Bennet and James Tynion IV. The dialogue is witty and fresh, and Kane’s character continues to intrigue me. The illustrations by Steve Epting and Ben Oliver are beautiful, and they keep the story flowing smoothly while setting the background of Kane’s world.
In this volume, Batwoman continues hunting the Many Hands of Death and chasing the elusive ghosts of her past. She becomes trapped in the desert with a Colony soldier. The unlikely pair has to work together to withstand the psychedelic weapon of one of Batman’s most twisted supervillains.
Kane then has to switch gears immediately to solve a mystery involving missing tourists while also performing a mission to rescue one of her few remaining friends. Throughout her journey in this volume, Kane remains the strong, aloof, vulnerable, and damaged Batwoman that strikes fear into the hearts of the DC supervillains and love into the hearts of the readers.
Batwoman, volume 3, is scheduled to be released on January 22nd. Get your copy here, and join me in discovering what’s next for my new favorite superhero!
