1.0

My favorite part of this volume was that the subtitle for of a bunch of the collected issues was "How in the Hell Did We Get Here?" It's funny because it's true. What a mess. It starts with a pointless abridged origin story that's been covered already -- and even I remember it, so it was probably covered pretty well -- and then dumps us into Point C of the volume's main story, then just when you think that you must have missed some sort of crossover in another title, it zips back to Point A, but it's not really CLEAR that it's Point A at first. What else? There were a bunch of characters I knew nothing about heavily featured throughout the whole volume, the relationship plot was weird, and the art was confusing and... not beautiful. And the issue tucked at the end, wow. That is not an admiring "wow."

I've grown to love Batwoman, and I'm a little pissed that I read this, and honestly I'm just going to try to forget that it exists. I haven't read Volumes 4 and 5 yet since my library never picked them up; maybe I can read them and replace any memory of this collection with those.
