  Rucka’s choice to so completely isolate Batwoman while theoretically tying the issue into Bad Seeds’ larger story is incredibly effective. In essence he is able to tell a story that stands alone both within the event and within the series, appealing to readers who are interested in both as well as one or the other. He also advances the ongoing thread of the video showing Batwoman killing someone thanks to an excellent dialogue exchange here. DaNi and Hollingsworth deliver a visually moody issue. It’s hard to call Batwoman #8 one of the most successful Bad Seeds tie-ins because it has virtually nothing to do with the event. But it is an outstanding issue of Batwoman. Read Full Review
