In April, after two Eisner awards, it was revealed that DC would give Batwoman her own series. Then it went quiet. There is no news of a launch date and there is also no news in general about what is going to happen next. Which has me wondering about the second run part of the current Detective Comics which follows The Question, who is now Renee Montoya.
I’m really enjoying this series and the characters. What pulls me in even more is the fact that the plot is exploring a human rights issue, human trafficking, specifically of women.
When a graphic novel takes the time to tell a good story with strong, solid art while getting the reader the think beyond the page, I’m hooked.
As a reader, I don’t want to just be entertained or impressed by the art, though sometimes its nice to not have to think. But, I want to be engaged in the story. I want to possibly learn something from the story. And while it is fiction, bridging an issue like human trafficking is important because at least it exposes the reader to the issue.
So, I really want to know and if there is anyone out there who can tell me… Is Renee Montoya, The Question, going to follow Batwoman to be a part of the new series?
