J.H. Williams III is an extremely unique and thought-provoking artist making him stand out among the many who illustrate superhero comics today. His art is so distinct because of the imaginative design work making for mind-tripping pages that you will not find anywhere else. His artwork really leaves you baffled as to how he could possibly imagine such a layout in his mind. After his collaborative work on the character with Greg Rucka, J.H. Williams III now tries his turn at scripting Batwoman and I couldn’t be more excited to have her back. The series was supposed to begin earlier this year, however DC pushed it back in order to make it a part of the new DCU. Finally, after months of wondering, the wait is over. Batwoman will without doubt be the most unusual looking book of the New 52, and this first arc kicks off a horror story bringing Batwoman full-fledged into a dark psychological world.

In the past couple of years there has been one Uni within the DC mothership that has only gotten progressively better with each and every issue of its main title and tie-ins respectively, and that is “BATMAN”. With that being said you would have thought that ol’ Bats and the rest of the Fam. would be safe from the upcoming “reboot” that the publisher will be instating in September. Well think again, because today DC released ALL the deets on their decisions to revamp several of the titles in the Bat-Library, and we have all of that PLUS the first ever stills from “BATMAN” Issue #1, “BATWOMAN” Issue #1, “NIGHTWING” Issue #1, and MORE!
