Question Everything
- Mar. 25th, 2009 at 11:03 AM
So now I can talk about the fact that Cully and I are doing the co-feature that will begin running in Detective Comics #854, the Batwoman debut issue, this June. Starting with four eight-page chapters, then expanding to ten-pages an issue, and he's been drawing, and it look incredible, and no, I can't share the pages with you.
But I can share his design work, which certainly gives a nice taste of what's to come.

I have to ask, though - since the characters are pretty closely related and move in and out of each others' lives all the time, will the Question back-up at all relate to/cross over with the main story in the Batwoman feature, or will it just be two totally separate stories? I'm just curious, since I can see either way working really really well, and I can't wait for the book no matter what.
Er.
So to speak. ;)
Tease.
Seriously, though, this is awesome.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
See also: Yes.
More Question!
Just when I couldn't look forward to this more...
In fact, I think there are very few ways I could look forward to this more than I am right now.
I'm glad that DC keeps investing in the Montoya character but can't they give her an on-going series?
I suspect the hair will grow and change, much as Charlie's hair did in the O'Neil/Cowan run, of which we are both devoted fans.
I'm gonna miss Renee's long hair, but I'm glad to see that she is getting a style that is really her own.
And to join the debate; I like Renee with the short hair better.
Really liked Renee with the longer hair, but I figure a shorter cut is more practical in her line of hands-on work.
I didn't think I could be any more excited about your run on Detective.
I am going to add my opinion that I'm going to miss Renee's long hair too though...
Yes, you may.
I shall definitely be looking forwarded to that. I love reading your Batwoman/Question stuff, I'm glad there is more of it coming.
P.S. I also enjoyed your Nightwing/Flamebird stuff in Action Comics. I'll admit I was a little confused though, as I dropped Action/Superman at the start of the New Krypton storyline. I just wasn't feeling it, and did not really enjoy James Robinson's approach, sadly.
Lots of Ursa being crazy-mean in 876.
Let me say I enthusiastically support Renee's shorter, more practical do.
It's a dumb pet peeve, thinking about "realism" in a comic, but in a real street fight against someone with long hair the first thing you do is grab a hunk and jam their face into the wall or nearest table.
When "street" heroes have long hair it makes me nuts.
Those of flesh and blood, I think, need more practical shoes, so to speak...along with practical shoes.
RE: Renee's hair... Just so that everyone knows, her sexual orientation had nothing to do with her having short hair, and was in no way an attempt to make her more butch. Actually, aside from my position that it makes her vulnerable in a fight, I just thought it would set her apart from other female comic book characters. Let's face it, almost all of them are drawn with long hair. I like to be different when I can.
And some of the most attractive women I know have short hair. :)
I don't think Catwoman hasn't had much of an issue retaining her allure since Darwyn Cooke cut off her hair.....if anything i thought it made her much cooler!
I am now in a conundrum about whether to cut my hair for my Question persona or not. Admittably, I look good with short hair (and it'd help another costume that I'm making for DragonCon, she has short hair), but I love my long-ish hair, because I'm a girly-girl when it comes to that.
And I dread showing my girl the wonderfully pretty art since I'm 99% certain she'll say "do it!" and I can't say no to her, 'specially since she loves me enough to be Batwoman.
...... and as I'm writing this comment, I'm slowly convincing myself to do the deed.
To buy or to buy two copies - that is the Question. /bad Shakespeare humor
Plus the designs look, unsurprisingly, amazing. And I love the little aside that Renee's favourite hat is still Charlie's! Awww.
I didn't think I could look forward to June any MORE, but now I really am.
