Batwoman, Issue #1 is a new story. I'm not reading enough, as I mentioned a few blog posts ago, so I don't know if I'm going to continue this series. I've read a lot of Batwoman, including Hydrology and the first three or four trade paperbacks in the New 52. Like many readers, I kind of petered out on the title after J.H. Williams III stopped writing it. Now, Batwoman is working under the guidance of Batman, with Julia Pennyworth playing the backup role. Kate Kane's father, I assume from reading Detective Comics, is still in Bat-prison.
This new series is written by Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV, who have both written for Detective Comics, with art by the legendary Steve Epting, who is also currently working on one of my faves, Velvet. Basically, it's the team of writers and artists creating this title that will persuade me to continue reading the series more than the depth of the Batwoman character or how good the title is. I know these creators can do something special, and I'll probably stick around to wait to see if it happens.
