The art is so amazing and beautiful, but the story is kind of patchy and the villain was a bit dull and unconvincing, even with the reveal of who she is. I took much longer than usual to finish it because I just wasn't that into it. The art, though!

The art is so beautiful it made me ache. It was like poetry. Rucka's soild plotting and great characterization made this graphic novel a joy to read.

Absolutely amazing. Rucka is a fantastic writer and J. H. Williams III is a tremendously gifted artist.

Nice art, and some nice parts to the story, but tries to cram too many things into a 5-episode arc. It was nice to see Batwoman's origin story, stemming from her being thrown out of West Point for refusing to lie about her sexuality. The references to Alice in Wonderland are pointless here. What a wasted opportunity to bring Alice and the bat universe together.

This is the first Batwoman story I've ever read and with one minor quibble I was very, very impressed. With one exception I LOVED the art, that one exception is the extreme whiteness of her skin and the extreme red of her mouth. It was constantly distracting and for me detracts from the overall look of the character. I liked how the art styles were different between the past and present story lines though I definitely preferred the art in the present story, it has a very lush and Art Nouveau look to it that I felt worked especially well with the Alice character.
I found the story and mystery very compelling and I definitely want to read more to find out what happens next. This is an excellent book to introduce someone to the Batwoman character.
