Batwoman Vol. 1: The Many Arms of Death (Rebirth) by Marguerite Bennett, James Tynion IV
4.0
'Batwoman Vol. 1: The Many Arms of Death' by Maguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV, with art by Steve Epting and Ben Oliver is the first volume in Batwoman's own series. It collects Batwoman issues #1-6 and the one shot Batwoman: Rebirth #1.
In flashbacks, we learn about Katherine Kane's life. It wasn't an easy one with trauma following her all over the globe. There is one year in her life that is not known to anyone. It comes to light in this volume as she tracks down the distributors of a terrible monster venom that was unleashed on Gotham.
I've been interested in this character since I've seen her in the new Rebirth Batman comics. She gets a backstory here, and it's not horribly exciting. I don't think that's a bad thing. Her story is told in flashbacks to the past and present, and it can be a bit tough to keep track of where the story is.
The art is really good. I enjoyed the work of all the artists in the series. The hand-painted covers are a stand-out.
I like a Batman character that feels like she is independent of Batman. She is not a cookie cutter and feels like she could be an equal to him, not another student.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
