An almost inconsequential story provides J.H. Williams III with another opportunity to prove that he is the most profoundly talented artist working in comics today. Juggling varying art styles just as Kate Kane juggles her multiple identities, Williams deftly weaves together different points of view to create a cohesive narrative surrounding the disappearance of children in Gotham City. Entire pages -- and sometimes multiple pages -- are assembled as singular works of art, including, most brilliantly, a montage of events comprising Batwoman’s secret origin, relegated to background noise during a mostly unrelated conversation.
The story itself may be par for the course, but its execution is anything but. Batwoman is sure to be the prettiest book in the New 52.
