  • Comic Book Review: ‘Batwoman’ #17

    Posted Sunday, February 24th, 2013 07:50 pm GMT -4 by
    It should be noted, with much sadness, that this is the last issue of  this series to be illustrated by the genius that is J.H. Williams III.  He will be sticking around to co-write the title with W. Haden Blackman, but without his innovative illustrations, this book will be...

    So, it’s finally here!  As noted on the cover “The Unlikeliest Hero” gets his own book… a series no one thought would ever happen.  Yet here it is, Vibe #1, starring the break dancing, Latin stereotype from the reviled “Justice League Detroit”...
