A review link and a bit of disappointment over Batwoman: Elegy

And please notice, I refuse to call this book "Batwoman: Elegy Deluxe Edition."
It’s fascinating to watch how Williams III moves in and out of his art styles based on what part of the story is being told. There’s one style for Batwoman, one style for Kate and another style for flashbacks but there are some wonderful moments where Williams merges the styles together, where he allows himself to be playful and show maybe how parts of Kate’s life are coming together. When the story focuses on Batwoman, there’s a jagged quality to the panels, like they’re interconnecting to tell the whole story. His pages are part puzzle, part kaleidoscope of action. Generally, Kate’s pages are more simple and straightforward. There’s one two page scene where at a charitable event, Kate dances with Maggie Sawyer, the captain of Gotham’s Major Crime Unit and Wiiliams lays out the dance like one of the action scenes. Kate and Maggie’s dance twirls its way across the page like any of the fights between Batwoman and Alice.
You can read the whole review at Pop Syndicate. The one thing I struggled with on this book and ultimately left out of the review is the bittersweet disappointment in it as Rucka's story is left hanging. Originally, the 7 issues of this book were supposed to be followed up by 5 more issues by Rucka and Williams III that concluded their Batwoman story, and brought Kate and Alice's story to, if not an end, a satisfying point of closure. Instead, Rucka leaves DC for now, but not before a subpar storyline written by him and drawn by Jock kind of dampens any enthusiasm for the book. J.H. Williams III and Amy Reader Hadley are going to be taking over the upcoming Batwoman title and I think I'll enjoy that as the art by both of them should be lovely but the thought that I won't see a confrontation for now between Batwoman and Alice just makes this book seem a little bit lesser than it could have been. I didn't bring this fact up in the actual review because it isn't that pertinent to whether this book is good or not (it is) but the experience also wasn't all that it could be. Instead of looking forward to Rucka's story, I'll get Williams' story and it may be good but it's not what I would have wanted right now.
