Batwoman, Vol. 2: To Drown the World by J.H. Williams III

4.0

Still interesting, this volume falters simply due to the oft confusing storytelling. Understandably, the author wanted to give the illusion of flashbacks--storytelling through uncovering the past piece-by-piece, while connecting it to the present. Unfortunately, this falls short. Instead of being seamless it would sometimes take me a moment to realize what story was being told, who was involved, and in what capacity. Other than that, I've no complaints with the plot. We discover the true mastermind behind the villainy in the first volume, and an (expected) betrayal of trust throws a small loop through the story. This volume hovers at a 3.5 for me, but I gave it a 4 since I'm still enamored by the art and bold colors.
