COMIC BOOK RESOURCES reviews DETECTIVE COMICS #858
November 3, 2009
Dear J. H. Williams III, I love you.
Er, rather, I mean I love your artwork. Honestly, what is the point of doing a review for a comic book that is damn near picture perfect? J.H. Williams III makes this book everything it can possibly be, until you check the credits to make sure that Greg Rucka is, indeed, the writer of this four-color masterpiece. After finishing this book, I put it aside, eager to spend more time just to stare at the art and look for new things, like the bat-silhouette frames. This is how a comic makes me feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
Coming into this story completely cold, I had no problem picking up, settling in, and understanding what was happening. Batwoman may not be my favorite character, but this creative team is certainly darn near the best of the best. I'd read their work on "Johnny the Poop King" if such a book existed.
