The shocking and tragic origin of Batwoman starts here, in a haunting, evocative issue penned by writer Greg Rucka with art from the masterful J.H. Williams III. With “Go,” Rucka and Williams reveal the true story behind the kidnapping of Kate Kane and her family by terrorists and how these events tragically alter Kate — and her family’s life — forever. All this and the mystery behind the villainous Alice revealed.

I love the fact that we have Batwoman in Bruce’s absence in the pages of Detective and I really can’t wait to learn more about Kate’s official back story too heh.
DC’s best new direction of a character in the past 5 years. Keep it coming!
