Following the explosive revelations of last issue, Batwoman departs the Outsiders on a solo quest of her own design. In the storied deserts of the American southwest, a dangerous specter stalks the innocent and guilty alike with a vengeance that spans all the way back to those first dark days of the Old West. Anyone with violence in their heart can become the victim...or the perpetrator. Can Kate Kane hunt this monster down before more innocent lives are destroyed...or before it consumes her soul with its violence as well? Guest-starring Young Justice's Jinny Hex, this issue is a brutal showdown for the soul of the Batwoman!
This title has managed to keep me guessing every month, and its ability to pull in anything it wants from across time and space makes it one of the most fascinating books on the stands today. Read Full Review
Carey delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. The art is brilliantly character focused and delivers some fantastic moments for the characters. Read Full Review
Outsiders #8 was a great little sci-fi western that should be a fun read for anyone. I'm excited about what comes next, both from this creative team and the eclectic collection of comic characters. Read Full Review
No other DC comic is getting as weird and wide-ranging as Outsiders currently is, and that's worth celebrating. Read Full Review
A great one-shot story for Kate Kane in the wake of last month's revelations. Outsiders #8 shines a spotlight on the toll these multiversal adventures have taken on Kate. Giving her (and us) the chance to catch out breath and see more of the human side of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing's meta-commentary. Read Full Review
But above all else, Outsiders #8 looks at what Batwoman is going through. Her anger at the Outsiders, her desperation to save Ginny, and her own internal issues are all put on display much like the previous issue, this is a character story first and foremost. It's that level of work that makes Outsiders worth reading, and hopefully it keeps this up as the series is now heading into its final batch of issues. Read Full Review
Outsiders is beginning the long road to a confrontation with a mysterious antagonist. In a way, this evil silhouette and subsequent McGuffins are excuses to give the Outsiders something to resist. Luckily, this issue remains a somewhat self-contained adventure between an unlikely duo of characters. It's fun, mysterious, and often times creative, and that is more than enough to earn a decent recommendation these days. It would be unfair to mourn what this book should be, and just settle for the monster-of-the-week sci-fi tale it offers. Which is to say, characters show up with unresolved baggage, and then they disappear just the same. Overall, if you don't mind quirky guest cameos and hanging plot threads, then you'd get a kick out of this week's Outsiders. Read Full Review
Very fun little one-off story. I know nothing about Jonah Hex and even less about Ginny Hex (I'm no narc) but this issue filled me in plenty and was a good detour for Batwoman to set up where the Outsiders go next. Very interested in how the gun affects Batwoman. This has been one of, if not the best book in DC for the past eight months.
