[Caivu]

Well, posting in this thread is a bit like pulling teeth sometimes, but we finally got to 100 pages!

To celebrate, here's the Batwoman Sideshow Premium Art Print by Alex Pascenko:

Caivu has got me interested in reading the Batwoman comics, but my library only has the New 52 ones on Hoopla, so I started there. I've read volume 1 and volume 2 so far and started on volume 3. I like them so far, but I've noticed they're a lot...darker than what I usually read.

Congratulations for the 100 pages, hopefully you reach another 100.

Yeah, that's one of the things that hooked me. Glad to hear that I helped get you reading it!

Congratulations for the 100 pages, hopefully you reach another 100.

Hopefully it happens a lot faster than three-and-a-half years this time.

Marc Laming WIP. Not sure what it's for.

Hey okie, have you read Batwoman: Elegy?

It's my favorite Batwoman story

I've just read the vol. 1 and vol. 1 in the New 52 so far. I'll have to see if Hoopla has that. I think they may just have the New 52 series and then something that is just labeled "Batwoman by Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams."

Actually, skimming through that, that might be what you mean, since it says "Elegy, Part One." I have that checked out to read, too.

YES! That is the one. It is pure magnificence!

You should definitely read that collection, since it also includes a shorter arc called "Cutter" by Rucka that sets Kate in her new direction. It's not quite as powerful as Elegy (few things are), but it's definitely the equal of what Blackman and Williams did.

More of Laming's WIP. He said on Twitter it's from issue #10.

Me too! I have the deluxe collected in the library I work at and discovered it on the shelf. I had heard about the new Batwoman, a year or several before but was not reading DC at the time. So I checked it out and was converted forever.

While the story, art, etc was overall awesome and hooked me, the bonus was

finding an author who had room for Bette Kane in the mythos, and was willing to make her more credible.

I ran across a slightly old interview about the BBoP Manslaughter arc that I missed at first. Batwoman and Catwoman are apparently going to fight:

Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #17 variant cover by Kamome Shirahama:

That is very cool! The only small quibble I have with it is that Canary's hair looks silver and kind of anime-ish.
