After enjoying Batwoman’s reappearance last issue, I am now disappointed.  In this issue, Batwoman squares off against the new leader of the Religion of Crime, who is nuts, and the story falls flat.  Very flat.

Author Greg Rucka’s writing skills are not evident.  As a talented writer, I hoped for more.  This entire issue is a boring brawl with nothing memorable.  J.H. Williams III returns to lend his penciling skills.  Unfortunately, it’s not a strong as last issue.  The drug induced haze panels are creatively structured.  There are monets of strong art, but I felt cheated because of the sharp drop in quality from last issue.  Were we just being baited into sticking with Detective Comics?  I think that might be the case.

I am no fool.  I am seriously considering dropping this until Batman returns.  Kill Batwoman again, please.
