This book has really become incredible. That's what happens when you get someone like JH Williams to do the art. Greg Rucka is already a talented writer, but . . I think maybe Mr Williams' pictures are motivating him to be a little better. When he first started doing the art on this title, it appeared that he was going to use 2 separate styles. One style for when the story was about Kate, and one for when Batwoman was in action. The previous of which is very similar to the style that he used on Promethea. Anyways, this issue, since Kate's in costume pretty much the whole thing . . just looks incredible. When he gets going . . his art is a piece of work. What an incredible talent. Anyways, the High Madame has abducted Kate's father because she wants to use his military connection to get some cyanide gas from the Army, plus a plane to deliver it . . all over Gotham. Luckily Kate is a very motivated individual and puts a big crimp in her plans. But the big piece of information that came out of this issue was that the High Madame, Alice . . she's actually Kate's sister, Beth. But that may all be moot because at the end of the issue Kate drops her off the wing of the plane. That may . . or may not, have been the end of her. I guess we'll have to wait until next issue to find out. I wasn't completely sold on this character when Kate first came on the scene. But now . . with the help of Greg and Mr Williams . . I'm quickly becoming a fan. I can't wait for more. In the back-up, Renee is getting closer to finding out who's behind this slavery ring. The problem is, like the previous Question, she keeps finding herself in these no-win situations. Renee's character brings an interesting approach to the Question. I'm just not sure that she'll ever be much more than a back-up character. Not unless someone does a fantastic job of rewriting her. Greg Rucka and Cully Hamner bring us this look into her life.
