Batwoman continues in this volume to round up members of The Many Arms of Death. Her target in this book is primarily The Needle, also known as Dr. Jonathan Crane, or the Scarecrow. His fear toxin sets in as she and Colony Prime battle their fears and try to escape. The toxins create a swirl of hallucinations, including a needle-fingered Scarecrow, and visions of her beloved Safiyah. The final issue is a one-off story where Batwoman has to rescue Julia Pennyworth from Professor Pyg. I liked this book a lot better than volume 1. The Wonderland storyline has a solid plot that feels pretty straight-forward aside from the nightmarish hallucinations. I laughed out loud at a panel in which Batwoman concedes that she and Colony Prime worked fine together “despite fighting like two wet cats in a sack,” and an unnamed medic wonders, “Why would you put two wet cats in a sack?” Also, there’s this great sequence where her father is lecturing her and in each panel, she is younger and younger until she’s a little girl, because it’s hard not to feel small when your father is scolding you. Anyone who read Volume 1 will want to pick this up and continue the story. I’ve a feeling the next volume will reveal more about Safiyah’s role in The Many Arms of Death, so keep an eye out for that one. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Batwoman is on the hunt for the deadly terrorist group called the Many Arms of Death, but little does she know that their leader, the Mother of War, is on the hunt for her. Soon Kate Kane finds herself abandoned and alone in the Sahara Desert, at the mercy of the man the Many Arms of Death calls the Needle...but his victims call the Scarecrow! Kate's only hope for escape is to work together with her fellow prisoner: Colony Prime, her father's second-in-command and one of Kate's most bitter enemies. Now, with both Batwoman and Colony Prime under the influence of the Scarecrow's deadly fear toxin, they'll have to fight their way through their own worst nightmares to make it out alive. Unfortunately, when someone has lived a life like Kate Kane's-one of murder, loss and betrayal-fear itself might be enough to destroy her! Writer Marguerite Bennett (Bombshells: United) and artist Fernando Blanco (Midnighter & Apollo) explore the horrors of Batwoman's past...and how they'll affect her future.

This book picks up more or less where the previous volume left off (minus the weird Batman-police-state in the final issue last time). We learn a bit more about Kate Kane’s so-called “lost year” on the island of Coryana and her relationship there with the mysterious Safiyah. Plotwise, not too too much happens in this book, but themes, motifs, and character development introduced in the last volume are further built upon here.
One thing that threw me a little bit is the “Colony” and Kate’s antagonistic relationship with her father. It’s been a while since I read the New 52 run of Batwoman, so maybe I am just forgetting details but I feel like I missed something.
Illustrations overall are done well. I particularly liked the transitions into and out of the hallucinatory experience Kate had in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Crane. ( )
