To conclude our JH Williams III-fest here at Multiversity, we’ve got a preview of his new book, Batwoman. Originally set to launch some time ago, it has been pushed back to be part of the September launch, but some things are assuredly worth the wait. Co-written by JH Williams III and W. Haden Blackman with art by JH Williams III, the book is set to release in the second week of DC’s relaunch.
The solicit reads:
At last! Batwoman’s new series begins, from the multiple award-winning creative team of J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman!
In “Hydrology,” part 1 of 5, Batwoman faces deadly new challenges in her war against Gotham City’s underworld — and new trials in her life as Kate Kane.
Who or what is stealing children from the barrio, and for what vile purpose? Will Kate train her cousin, Bette Kane (a.k.a. Flamebird), as her new sidekick? How will she handle unsettling revelations about her father, Colonel Jacob Kane? And why is a certain government agency suddenly taking an interest in her?
Check after the cut for a five page preview of Batwoman #1, part of DCnU’s September relaunch – and if you still haven’t pre-ordered the first issue after seeing them, then we’re just not sure what to tell you. (And, as a note, Batwoman #0 is in stores now.)
