Batwoman #13 Review

BATWOMAN #13
by JH Williams and W. Haden Blackman

Step over Power Girl and Huntress, Batwoman and Wonder Woman is the REAL World's Finest!

Picking up mere moments after Batwoman #12, Batwoman and Wonder Woman head into a labyrinth to find a man named Pegasus. In the Labyrinth, they encounter some pretty scary stuff. Before I start, keep in mind that this is like reading two comics. The first few pages are like a regular superhero comic, but when the duo get to the Labyrinth, things get pretty freaky. Williams and Blackman made a great choice to start out the book with Batwoman and Wonder Woman giving their opinions of each other in their monologue, and it instantly makes the team-up a LOT more interesting. However, I do have a problem with the story. Why are they looking for Pegasus, and not Medusa? Isn't that why Batwoman asked for Wonder Woman's help in the first place?

As  usual JH William's  art is awesome. He sets up some of the most intriguing and unique layouts I've ever seen, all while keeping his style consistent, and never seeming to mess up.

Batwoman #13 is a horror/superhero comic done right. In fact, I think this story could give the first arc of Animal Man a run for its money if it stays at this caliber of quality.

STORY: 4/5
ART: 5/5
VERDICT: 4.5/5
