The good news is that they are, Batwoman, Vol. 4: This Blood Is Thick by  J.H. Williams III, W. Haden Blackman and  Trevor McCarthy (Illustrated by Francesco Francavilla, Walden Wong, Sandu Florea, and Derek Fridolfs, colored by Guy Major) continued to expend the Batwoman world with style, action, and an excellent story-line. The story-line not only highlighted Batwoman, but also her girlfriend Detective Maggie Sawyer (and old favorite of the DC Universe) who certainly proved she can handle herself without the protection of her…

I really like where the writers of the issue were going with the characters and the world they built around them. Kate Kane, Batwoman, refused to join the Batman team when asked, and only wears his symbol as a source of her inspiration.

Williams III More Books by W.Haden Blackman Thoughts: After reading Batwoman, vol. 1: Hydrology I was very happy to continue the story-line. The second graphic novel, Batwoman, Vol. 2: To Drown the World by  J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman (illustrated by Amy Reeder, Trevor McCarthy, Rob Hunter, Pere Pérez, and Richard Friend; colored by Guy Major) did not disappoint as it continued in the same vain as the first, but this time we know the characters better. I felt this book was more complex than the previous graphic novel. It takes the reader a bit of an effort to figure out what’s going one and the villains are just weird monsters…

I really enjoyed this storyline, a troubled hero (seems like they all are these days) who thinks she’s going to solve some societal problems while taking out her angst on everyone around while protected behind a mask.
