Batwoman #7

Batwoman is much more on the supernatural side than I expected. The rest of the Batclan may deal with ,oysters form time to time but it seems to be all Batwoman does. At least the payoff is good, the monster she fought a few issues ago that was taken in by a mysterious figure has reappeared for a big fight scene.

Things I liked: there's a lot of sentiment in her dad talking to her injured cousin. Kate hasn't actually gone to see Bette yet, so it's nice to see her dad take over the role.

Things I didn't like: usually I love the art, here I thought it was weird that Kate was out to lunch with a fashionable young man, until I found out that the man was her girlfriend. Sure, she's got short hair, but she's not androgynous.

Awkward moment reading this issue: Mako summons Bloody Mary to be used as a monster for Medusa. He gains control of her by shouting, "I believe in Mary Worth!". I don't know if it was a joke or if the author had a moment that no one corrected. I can see it. I nearly named my son Jack Daniel.
