Finally . . this issue we get some of the background on Kate. We still don't know what her connection to the crime-bible is though. The former followers of Lilith are ready to worship her now, since she supposed killed their high-priestess last issue. Whether she actually did though . . remains to be seen. But she wants nothing to do with them. But, I do think her curiosity is peaked as to how they knew that she was a twin. However, that's not enough to get her to stick around and ask questions. 'Listen carefully. I am not part of you. You will all stay away from me. And away from my family . . or I will kill every last one of you.' Anyways, this story picks up about the time that Kate is ready to graduate from West Point. It appears that she only has a semester or 2 left. But she broke the cardinal rule . . she fell in love with another cadet. And on top of that . . it was her bunk-mate, Sophie Moore. Because of that, she was kicked out of the Army. She came home, and it appears that she knew Renee Montoya from before she left. During this story, Renee is still a patrol officer. After pulling her over they start things up again. But Renee isn't happy that she's dropped out of school. She wants Kate to have more focus in her life. That's when the event happens that changes her life. She's down about her recent fight with Renee, and while walking the streets someone tries to mug her. She's been an Army officer, so of course she can fight the guy off, but when she turns around she sees Batman standing there. She's startled, so she falls down. He gives her a hand up . . and then he takes off into the night. As she watches him fly away . . you can see that something has changed. Next issue, hopefully, we'll see the jump from her watching Batman in the shadows . . to wearing her own black leather outfit. Greg Rucka and JH Williams III are doing a fantastic job with this book. So far I've been thrilled with every issue. I especially like the way that JH Williams III changes his styles up depending on where he is in the story. It shows some great dramatic effect. Anyways, in the back-up . . Renee is still following this trafficking ring. It starts with trafficking women, but it seems to involve pretty much anything. Which means . . organized crime. In this chapter we learn that they've noticed her and have decided to strike back. At the end of the story we see that they're hiring someone 'special' to go after her. Well . . and the Huntress too, since she helps her out this time. This was also a good story by Greg as well, and Cully Hamner on the art. I'm glad to see how strong this book has gotten lately. It's always been one of my favorites, but . . it hasn't always been one of the best. I'm glad things have changed.
