Gotham Central - possibly my favourite thing in comics in the last... fifteen years? Because RENEE.
I picked up volumes...three and four, I think, of this in a local comics fair a few weeks ago because they were suuuuper cheap, but I haven't read them yet because I figured I should start from the start and now I can't find the others/can't work out the numbering system on amazon. *facepalm* Well, I'm sure I could if I thought about it more, but I'm still working my way through other stuff. It's On My List though! The 52 series made me totally fall for Renee (and I really enjoyed her in Rucka's No Man's Land novelisation too).
...why isn't she still in Batwoman again?
I hesitate to recommend Wonder Woman to anyone right now, because it's wonderfully written and gorgeously illustrated and doing horrible horrible things that hurt me deeply.
Oh god, yes, that's it exactly. And pretty much uniformly from everyone I've seen react (which granted isn't that many). It's like...it's not even rage it's just confused, betrayed sorrow and it's been a long time since I've seen that widespread a response rooted in confused hurt not anger, you know?
If it was poorly written and ugly, that'd be easier. But it's not. And...how do you handle that? ARGH.
