The new "Batwoman" comic is awesomely gay

There's nothing I love more than superheroes and lesbians. I've been around comic books long enough to see some truly infuriating things happen to my favorite characters, and I've been around "lesbian-storytelling" long enough to know that hardly any form of media gets it right. So when DC announced a relaunch of the lesbianBatwoman under the Detective Comics label, I just kind of groaned. What good can come from an all-male team writing a lesbian character in a geared-to-males industry?

Detective Comics #854, that's what!

I finally picked up the first two issues of the new Batwoman storyline, and holy sapphic substance, lesbos: This is easily the best single issue comic published this year.

If you're a regular comics nerd, you have to break reviews down into art and scripting. If you're a lesbian comics nerd you have to talk about what the writers and illustrators got wrong about gay stuff. Only this time, they got it all exactly right.

I don't usually follow superhero titles but this looks really nicely done.

there is also a back-up feature about another lesbian superhero called The Question. definitely picking this all up in TPB.
