Issue 24 was already written and being drawn by the time fallout came from our decision to leave the title. And frustratingly the issue will give no arc conclusion, or conclusion to our run. This issue was only the first part of it. And was going to run into the next 2 issues, a real knockdown heavy hitting battle. The big showdown between Batwoman and Batman kicks off this issue. Williams III’s farewell letter followed by my review of Volume 4: This Blood is Thick.Ĭlearing up some confusion as to when our last issue of Batwoman is to be published… Yes, this book is forever incomplete. Here is J.H. Haden Blackman said goodbye to Kate Kane and the world of Batwoman without reaching a finale that was but 2 issues away. What started with Detective Comics‘ Elegy storyline all those years ago continues in “This Blood is Thick” and it ends there as well, but not in the way many had hoped.Įditorial differences arose and writers J.H. It could be argued that there were no “arcs” but just the one sweeping epic. In fact, Batwoman felt like a Bat-title in name only and seemed to exist in its own little bubble like a Vertigo series where nothing mattered but its own grand design. The saga of Kate Kane was a relentless one that paid no regard to the goings-on of the rest of the DC Universe or even Gotham itself. The story never broke! Not when the Detective Comics gig returned to Batman and not when The New 52 reset every other comic book continuity around did this tale take pause. Haden Blackman’s Batwoman doesn’t just feel like the end of their run, but the end of an era that began all the way back with Greg Rucka & Williams in 2006’s Detective Comics.
