Batwoman Omnibus (New Edition)

Batwoman rises from trauma and turmoil to become one of DC’s most powerful modern icons. J.H. Williams III (Promethea), W. Haden Blackman (Star Wars), and Greg Rucka (Gotham Central) shape a groundbreaking era where visual innovation, identity, and gothic intensity redefine Kate Kane for a new generation.

Determined to dispense her own brand of justice, Batwoman wastes no time in pursuing the Lewis Carroll-inspired criminal known as Alice. But she isn’t the only threat: La Llorona, the Weeping Woman of urban legend, is abducting the city’s children. And when a terrifying creature of ancient myth emerges and rears its serpentine head, Batwoman must team up with another warrior who has experience slaying monsters of old: Wonder Woman!

Written and illustrated by New York Times bestselling writer and illustrator J.H. Williams III (The Sandman: Overture), accompanied by W. Haden Blackman (Elektra) and Greg Rucka (Detective Comics) on writing duties with Trevor McCarthy, Amy Reeder, and more on art, Batwoman Omnibus is a can’t-miss for fans of Gotham’s other dark avenger. Collects Detective Comics #854-863, Batwoman (New 52) #0, Batwoman #0-24, and Batwoman Annual #1.
