Its a bizarre love triangle when Katana is torn between her dead husbands soul and his murderer, Sickle!
I think this is one of the most underrated books out there right now. The story is engaging, with a fun, quirky cast and a unique setting. The story telling is nicely paced as well, as the pieces fall together over time. And the art is consistently solid! This was a risky choice for a solo comic, and I get that it's a hard sell for DC, but it's definitely a strong book in all areas. Read Full Review
While this was a really good issue, whats really good for Katana is still the equivalent of decent for most other books on the market. That said, this issue really is a step in the right direction for the series, and if Nocenti continues to play her cards right, I really see this book turning around. Read Full Review
Add in more heavy-handed nods towards other upcoming issues (if there's one more footnote readers about Jack Ryder's adventures in next month's "Justice League Dark" spotlight on the Creeper, it's going to be maddening) and it all adds up to an issue that is far, far, far less than the sum of its parts. I've tried to give this comic more tries than I should have by now, and with each issue it feels like things have further slid downhill. If a new creative team comes on board, I'll take a look, but otherwise I feel this is a good a jumping-off point as any. Sorry, Katana. You were fun in "Birds of Prey." Read Full Review
