Batwoman Vol 3 World's Finest

I enjoyed this more than the previous volume because of the imaginative and fairly unique art from J.H. Williams III, The story isn't amazing or anything and after recently reading Sleeper and Doc Unknown it felt very slow paced.

Still only 1 more volume to go.

Batwoman Vol 3 World's Finest

I'm definitely going to get all four vols of the J.H. Williams III run even if the last one wasn't that great. This time he's back on the art!

Batwoman Vol 2 To Drown A World

I must admit that I didn't enjoy this volume nearly as much as the previous ones. It was probably due to a combination of the change of artist (J.H. Williams III only wrote the story this time) and the weird structure which just didn't click for me.

I will get the next one though as I think Williams is back on the art then.

New Purchases

It's that time when I can order new stuff and this lot arrived via Amazon yesterday.

Side note: Amazon seems to be getting more expensive for trades these days. The Book Despository is often cheaper although Amazon packaging is slightly more robust. This lot were about the same price at both outlets so I went with Amazon for the packaging. Saying that, I've just ordered some stuff from Forbidden Planet online which seems cheaper even with postage costs added.

Back to this order, I'm continuing to get the Bawoman series and the Judge Dredd is just what I want as it's nice hardcover collections of classic stories in colour. It's a lovely package. This is Vol 1 of Classics and I'm sure I'll buy more.

Another side note: I'm in the middle of a novel at the moment which is taking me longer than anticipated to finish (although I am enjoying it). Looking back at what I've bought I'm thinking I'm going to have to revise my plans for starting Marvel from FF#1. I'm guessing I'm going to have to move it back to Jan 2016 rather than 2015. That will give me time to finish all the cool DC stuff I've on my read pile and those Marvel Omnibuses I'm buying - two more due this year. Phew!

Batwoman by J.H. Williams III

I'd read so much positive stuff about this series that I decided to give it a go. Well, I'm very pleased I did. The artwork is original and fantastic and the story zips along at a brisk pace too.

I'll order Vol 2 (of the New 52) series soon.

Two new trades

I thought I should purchase the first trade of Batwoman with J.H. Williams on art before reading the one I bought the other week.

Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers was a bit of an impulse buy but it looks kinda fun and it was cheap.

My first DC New 52 Collections

I was doing some work related training last week in Birmingham and the venue was located above Forbidden Planet. Well I had to take a look when the course had finished.

I picked up 2 New 52 title that interested me. All Star Western by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmotti because I'd enjoyed their writing on Power Girl so I wanted to try something else.

Batwoman by J.H. Williams and W. Haden Blackman has received glowing reviews and the art looks great so I thought I'd try that too.
