I wanted to like it but I just couldn't. The art just isnt the same and doesn't work with the darkness of the story. The story was too confusing jumping from different points of view. It was hard to read as a collection I can't imagine what it was like reading it monthly.

2.5 stars. The graphic style is just as inventive and arresting, but the time-jumping storylines blow way past kinetic to unstable ADHD. The idea of marshaling urban legends as part of the villain agenda has promise, but unfortunately it isn't realized well.

Full action packed volume and many questions still unanswered. We're still with the La Llorona / Medusa case and we have more family issues. Gonna follow :)

Bastante completo, con mucha acción, y me han gustado mucho los cambios con las "historias" de los personajes. Continuamos con el caso comenzado en el anterior volumen. Continuaré con la lectura de esta serie :)

Mehhhhhh. Confusing time jump narrative structure, terrible clichéd villains ("I will eat your corpse! BWAHAHAHA!"), zero character back story or development. Kate is so inconsistent. One minute she's ruthlessly mutilating an enemy, next she's yelling "I have a code!" and saving the lives of kiddie-stealing warlocks for some reason. I think I'm done with this title, unfortunately.

Good news, the story hasn't changed from the first volume, so the same people are still working on bringing you garbage to read.
Sarcasm over, this is a waste of ink and paper and brings such disappointment to what should had been a spokesperson and model character to bring in new readers.

Still reading, still wanting to read on. My local comic book dealer has said this series changes once it's no longer J. H. Williams III, which is quite all right with me, as one reason I hesitate to pick up new series is the prospect of it NEVER FINISHING. But there are five volumes with this author and so far I'm happy to follow along.

I'm so glad Heather got me into Batwoman. And comics in general. I hadn't picked one up since I was a kid, but I love stories in all forms and I didn't realize how complex and beautiful comic books that weren't of Darkwing Duck could be. (Though those Darkwing Duck comics were killer.) Plus, lesbians! Huzzah!

I actually really enjoy the female relationships in this one. The story, however, drags on much longer than it should. The art and the layouts are the stars of this comic.

Kate Kane is a unique hero in a menagerie of Batpeople, top notch.
