Hello Kenesu
Right now I don’t know the full digital plan, but I was under the impression that all of the titles were to be released as digital the same day as print. Does anyone know if this is not correct?
Almost 9 months waiting for this piece of art!, but my luck sucks…I’m not in the US so my patience will be tested again
Comment by Viviana 09.14.11 @ 11:12 amHey JHW3,
To answer Kenesu’s question, yes, Batwoman #1 is available through Comixology (https://read.dccomics.com/comixology/#/series/6650).
FWIW, it took trips to 3 comics stores just to snag a copy of Batwoman #1. Plan on reading this one leisurely as one would enjoy sipping on an ultra fine martini from your favorite bartender later tonight…
You know, having the DC 52 sell out is wonderful for sales among the already converted. However, I’m concerned all the great press you and Amy have done to promote Batwoman’s return will frustrate comics newbies and returnees who can’t find copies of their own this weekend and dull their interest.
Here’s hoping everybody who wants a physical copy of Batwoman #1 finds one more easily than I did… But I was motivated!
Good luck with the launch, sir. Thanks!
Wayne
Comment by Wayne Beamer 09.14.11 @ 3:56 pmBeautiful issue. Stunning work all around – sexy, creepy and intricate. Love the choice to do a wide shot on the final panel. Can’t wait to read it again!
Comment by Quinton 09.14.11 @ 4:23 pmWow! Just…wow! I don’t think anything I could say would be an adequate description of just HOW great Batwoman #1 is. But I’ll try anyway. It was great great great great great great great. That should pretty much sum up my opions… thanks for the best book in the relaunch so far!!

Ah, sorry it was so difficult finding the issue, second prints are already being processed, so no worries. I’m sure DC will make sure that anyone who wants a copy will be able get it in some form.
Hey Quinton
Thanks for the kind words. I definitely thought doing a pull back shot for the ending was the smarter choice, rather than doing the typical duh duh duhh here’s the big Batman moment.
Hey JHW3,
Will the 2nd print be using Amy’s chase cover by any chance, or a different one of yours? BTW, while I’m at it, if these 2nd prints become a regular thing — we can only hope so — think you could convince your DC editors to publish the interiors in B&W? That would indeed force me at camp out at my usual LCS for another copy, and it would be a safe way to test out offering an alternative. I really love the uncolored pages you post here. Or maybe an Absolute Batwoman slipcased edition. Again, big dreams, sir.
Thanks,
Wayne
Comment by Wayne Beamer 09.14.11 @ 8:28 pmHi Wayne
I currently have no idea on how they are going to handle all of the second prints. They may just use the same covers but do a color modification, we’ll see. And yeah, a black and white edition is something I’ve been after at DC for awhile now, but as of right now there doesn’t seem to be an interest, another we’ll see. And I’m hoping for an Absolute down the road too.
Hi JHW3,
That was just brilliant. Loved the amazing detail and how you included the whole cast of characters from your Detective run. I read it late last night Australian time, and haven’t stop thinking about during today. My favourite of the New52 sofar. Dave Stewart’s colouring was sublime.
Thanks!
That was a wicked issue. My wife (just married yay! sorry it’s still exciting :P) is into the book now once I suggested she read the Elegy HC. Awesome stuff keep up the great work.

Congrats on the wedded bliss. I’m glad you both like what we’re doing.
Thank you for such an amazing first issue! I was lucky enough to get the last copy they had at my local comic book shop. Your art is nothing short of breathtaking and so appropriate for the theme of the book. I can’t wait for what lies ahead.
Also, thank you for including Bette with such prominence. Please be nice to her.
