Batwoman, Vol. 3: The Fall of the House of Kane by Marguerite Bennett, Scott Godlewski, Fernando Blanco, John Rouch
3.0
It is kind of awkward to read, on 2021, a story about a bat related virus being released and causing chaos.
Besides the obvious oddness of a virus related storyline, this volume had good art and good themes; Kate's arc about where her loyalties land and how this affects her decisions is rather good and the confrontations with Beth and Batman worked quite well.
Still, can't get over how much this feels like a rushed ending; the Many Arms of Death being just mildling villains to give room to Alice kind of sucks. It feels like a bigger story cut short and though the themes are strong, the overall plot of this series ends up being OK.
Batwoman is one of my favorite members of the Batfamily and I feel like Bennet and the artists of this run did a good job at going deep into Kate's mind and her own struggles, and I'm saddened that we didn't see more of this run and that it's been a while since Kate got her own series.
