Son of a bitch.
I was so certain that I was going to stop after this one that I put volume 4 in my bag before leaving for work today. I was going to stop at the library on my way home, drop them in the book drop, and not even think twice about it.
I don't like her. I just don't. Either as Kate, or as Batwoman. She's boring, which, seriously, no super hero is supposed to be boring. There should be a law.
And this storyline has not held my interest. It should have, but we started off so weird with the drowned woman and children, and then Bloody Mary, and all of a sudden there's a crocodile, which...what?
They're using the term urban legend, but I've only ever heard of Bloody Mary. Are we supposed to equate super croc with the alligators in the sewers? Because that's stretching.
When I realized Wonder Woman was coming in, I got a little excited. I picked up the Wonder Woman volumes my library has at the same time as these, and I figured I'd get a sneak peek into the type of character she was. Not even Wonder Woman could save this.
So, I barrel through to get to the end of this book before my second break was over, and I'll be a motherfucker.
Son of a bitch. Guess I'm reading the fourth volume after all.

J.H. Williams III keeps getting better and better at writing (I have no idea how much the other guy, Haden or something, is involved. I'm sure they're both doing their share, but I'm more familiar with Williams, so he'll get the praise.).
Compared to so many other built up story arcs where the climax leaves much to be desired, I loved everything about how this superhero team-up and show-down went.

Wonder Woman! Batwoman! Crazy Greek myth monsters! Director Bones in armor! Kate Kane still inexplicably with the skin tone of an albino!

I still love the artwork, and mostly the colouring, but I find myself getting bored with all the action. I really liked the ideas behind these story arcs, but the implementation was kind of weak after the first issue or 2.

“Marry me, Mags.”
It’s still criminal that DC editorial said they couldn’t get married. But that aside, it’s the end of almost twenty issues of insane comic book storytelling, a nightmarish symphony filtered through the lens of Greek mythology.

I haven't reviewed them yet because it's a pain on the kindle, but I wasn't totally hooked by the first two Batwoman collections -- Hydrology was okay but I couldn't really get into it for whatever reason, and I liked the mythology and overall story arc of To Drown the World but found the panels hard to follow in spots and didn't care too much about the main characters. Until now, Kate's story has been kind of disjointed, which didn't help.
HOWEVER! Once again, my library had the third collection, so I pressed on, and this time I was rewarded with an awesome comic. I loved the addition of Wonder Woman and really enjoyed the way everything came together. Had a few confusing panel-following moments but they were minor -- user error, I'm sure.
This is the last volume my library has for now (yet they have all of the new Supergirl collections, IDK) but I'm going to keep going anyway. Good stuff.

This is my favourite volume so far. I absolutely love it. I love Wonder Woman and Batwoman teaming up. Can we have that more often please?
Also the reveal at the end has me wondering what's gonna happen next and I'm excited!!

O J.H. Williams III é um génio. E esta trade, além da Batwoman dele, tem a Wonder Woman. C'um cmandro! *.*

This volume was absolutely fantastic. The story is great, the art is beautiful, Wonder Woman was awesome, and Kate Kane is a badass.
