Batwoman: Futures End #1

Writer: Marc Andreyko / Artist: Jason Masters / Cover: Rafael Albuquerque

Official Synopsis

Now a creature of the night, Batwoman turns against her former lover, Nocturna, in final, deadly conflict!

Spoiler-Free Reaction 

I think this Futures End issue should’ve been released during Halloween.  The art and the lettering teetered on the gothic and the subject matter was definitely something out of a horror movie.  If you enjoy stories that deal with monster hunts, you might enjoy Batwoman: Futures End #1.  The story has a lot of action, but, surprisingly, it’s pretty toned down on gore.  With the exception of maybe only a few panels, we don’t see a lot of blood and guts.  Nonetheless, it’s a pretty average issue that hits hard with action from the beginning and never lets up until the end.

Spoilerific Plot Points

  • Batwoman, Elizabeth Kane, has become a blood-thirsty vampire who does on a murder spree.
  • Kate Kane has become Red Alice.
  • Kate is forced to kill Elizabeth with a stake through the heart.
  • No current tie-in with Futures End.
