In this issue we finally learn a little bit about Kate Kane's past. It turns out she has a twin, Beth. And she was raised as an army brat. Actually . . both her mother and father were in the army so, she's an extra special case. Anyways, we see her about 20 years ago shortly before Major Kane was reassigned to Belgium. We don't have an exact time frame, but shortly after arriving there, the 3 girls in the family are abducted. We also don't know how long they were captured, but . . an army operation comes in to retrieve them. On their way out . . it looks like her mother and sister are dead. Which would explain why she has such a close relationship with her father. But . . I would think in this situation . . she would kind of blame him also. I think this is just the beginning of the story. I'm sure we'll get more next issue. In between this, we see a case in Gotham that has been taken over from the police by the Army . . specifically Major General Frances Lombardo and Colonel Kane. It appears that Kate is also working the case as Batwoman. We don't know much about it yet, but it appears the Kate and her father are on different sides of this one. I think Greg Rucka and JH Williams III are doing a great job on this book. JH uses a different style on the flashback stories. A real simple, retro kind of style. It looks neat, and gets the message across. He uses his flashier style for the Batwoman sequences. I glad we're finally digging in to some of Kate's history. In the Question story, we get everything wrapped up on this trafficking of women. I'm glad that Renee is playing an as enigmatic character as Vic Sage did. I wasn't sure at first. It seemed like she was playing it a lot more loose than he did. Anyways, it was a good story by Greg Rucka and Cully Hamner. I hope we see more of the Question in the future.
