To begin a new year.
ONE:
Like all of Gotham’s stories, ours begins in an alley.
Night. Dark. Wet. It’s rained, and will again, but for the moment, it’s stopped.
RUSH is running for his life. RUSH is male, Caucasian, blond, frat-boy haircut and good looks, but the clothes are all wrong – dead man’s clothes, thrift-shop, they don’t fit right, they’re ratty, and they’re mussed all the more because he is, as said, running for his life.
He’s been running for a while.
1 RUSH: uff huff uff uff uff
TWO:
RUSH looks back, wide-eyed and terrified.
2 RUSH: uff hnfff hfff—
THREE:
And something slams into him from the wrong way, the way he should have been looking but wasn’t. RUSH is being blown back into the darkness as if sucked that direction.
We see the RED BAT SYMBOL.
NO COPY.

Alright! Let’s see what this girl can do!
January 1st, 2009 at 7:33 pm
TEASE!
January 1st, 2009 at 7:47 pm
This will be interesting.
January 1st, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Oh man, it’s finally coming. I’ve been looking forward to this for years, and it’s easily one of my most anticipated comics of 2009. This is gonna be fantastic. Thanks for the tease, and happy new year to you and yours.
January 1st, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Heeee!
January 1st, 2009 at 8:27 pm
YES!
YES YES YES!
January 1st, 2009 at 8:29 pm
YES? YES? YES?
I cannot wait.
January 1st, 2009 at 8:42 pm
I echo that:
Tease.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Woo-hoo!
January 1st, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I think it’s sad that my first thought was Terry McGinnis.
Anyway, this is awesome.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:39 pm
you too huh?
still, i can’t wait to see batwoman actually _relevant_
January 1st, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Yes! I’ve been dying for more Batwoman stuff, I have high hopes for this character as she has so much potential.
January 1st, 2009 at 10:16 pm
FINALLY the Geddy Lee/Neil Pert/BatFamily team-up that we’ve been craving all these years! This’ll be bigger than when Aerosmith crossed-over in to Shadow Man!
January 1st, 2009 at 10:56 pm
A modern-day warrior, mean mean stride, today’s Batwoman, mean mean pride.
January 1st, 2009 at 11:23 pm
It’s felt like this has been a long time coming . . . and I can’t wait!
January 1st, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Wow.
That’ll be stuck in my head for awhile.
January 2nd, 2009 at 12:47 am
Let me be the 37th person to say how stoked I am for this.
January 2nd, 2009 at 3:01 am
Batwoman has long been a cool-looking character waiting around to actually be a cool character. I’m hopeful this will achieve that.
January 2nd, 2009 at 6:14 am
Eh, I’m not that big a fan of Batwoman. I was excited to see Devin Grayson writing her, got let down, but I’m hopeful that you can make her interesting enough that I’ll call her something besides Batlesbian
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:06 am
Looks like you’ve already made up your mind about the character, sadly. And I’m sorry you apparently missed out on 52.
January 2nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Oh, no, I read and loved 52. Just couldn’t stand Batwoman in there.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:48 pm
HELL. YEAH.
January 3rd, 2009 at 2:57 am
Is that…
JH Williams III? I think that it is!
January 4th, 2009 at 6:54 am
Why would you have called her Batlesbian?
Do you call Batman Bathetero?
January 5th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
What does “NO COPY” mean?
Greg, why the “NO COPY” at the end? And do you typically hold yourself to a specific number of panels per page?
January 5th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Re: What does “NO COPY” mean?
I would assume…
That NO COPY is there to let the artist and editors know that there are no words to appear on the panel and that he hasn’t forgotten to add the dialog/narration/thought bubbles.
A confirmation that nothing should be there.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Re: What does "NO COPY" mean?
That was my guess. I’m just used to seeing “No caption.” or “No dialogue.”
January 6th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Tease!
And man, how can a man’s art be so kick ass that that little square can be better then anything I’ve ever drawn in my entire life!?
January 6th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Well, seeing as the Blood Syndicate’s already using “New World Man” as their unofficial anthem…
January 6th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I would certainly also be interested in seeing new stories written by Devin Grayson.
January 7th, 2009 at 2:46 am
Hells yes. Gotham needs you dude…
January 9th, 2009 at 4:28 am
Squee! I’ve been rereading 52 (this time in trade form) and every time Batwoman’s on the page, I just geek out. <3
January 13th, 2009 at 9:29 am
So, when can we expect this in an actual book?
January 15th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Re: What does “NO COPY” mean?
Oh, good
. I was worried that it meant I couldn’t copypasta it and show my friends.
