Here is J.H. Haden Blackman said goodbye to Kate Kane and the world of Batwoman without reaching a finale that was but 2 issues away. What started with Detective Comics‘ Elegy storyline all those years ago continues in “This Blood is Thick” and it ends there as well, but not in the way many had hoped.Įditorial differences arose and writers J.H. It could be argued that there were no “arcs” but just the one sweeping epic. In fact, Batwoman felt like a Bat-title in name only and seemed to exist in its own little bubble like a Vertigo series where nothing mattered but its own grand design. The saga of Kate Kane was a relentless one that paid no regard to the goings-on of the rest of the DC Universe or even Gotham itself. The story never broke!

Haden Blackman’s Batwoman doesn’t just feel like the end of their run, but the end of an era that began all the way back with Greg Rucka & Williams in 2006’s Detective Comics.

I was always on a quest for rock 'n' roll." From the 1970s to the 1990s, she drifted from man to man and drugs of various sorts, with the one stable force being her daughter, Liv Tyler, by Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. In fact, to me, it's the hardest part of a relationship. (She's said to have provided some of the inspiration for Kate Hudson's character in Almost Famous.) In addition to Bebe's sexual exploits with celebrities (the list is long highlights include David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart), she served as a muse and actual wordsmith, recording with the Cars in 1980: "I was never on a quest for sex itself.

It would be a perfect way to tie them all together if more characters from Six of Crows appeared in the next King of Scars (*cough* Kanej *cough*). I love all of the subtle references to the other books – they made me smile so much. Nikolai has been one of the only consistent characters throughout it’s great he’s finally got his own book after we’ve watched his personality develop over the years. King of Scars combines the original characters we were introduced to in the ‘Shadow and Bone’ trilogy and the world building developed in the ‘Six of Crows’ duology. The entire Grisha trilogy has been building up to this addition (the last couple of weeks have also been building up for this addition as I waited impatiently for it to arrive).īut, hear me out. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried–and some wounds aren’t meant to heal. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war – and he intends to keep it that way. Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. |
