The Unknowns are a strange team up, which frankly I enjoyed. Clayface was my new favorite, and The Demon Etrigan is always fun to read. I don’t believe that Batwoman needed a team though, I enjoyed it much more when she was played off as being on the fringes of the Bat family, working alongside them but not with them.

I enjoyed the mythology which the writer incorporated in the first story, actually is based very much on mythology.
The book is still one of the smartest, self-contained graphic novels I have read
