HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: BATWOMAN: ELEGY

Chanukah begins at sundown this evening – a time of day that speaks to Kate Kane and her heroic alter ego. From the critically acclaimed pairing of writer Greg Rucka and artist J.H. Williams III, BATWOMAN: ELEGY is the perfect gift for any comic book fan whose Festival of Lights isn’t complete without some darkness.

In addition to showcasing the crime-fighting exploits of Gotham City’s newest protector (and Jewish super heroine), BATWOMAN: ELEGY features lush storytelling and some of the most innovative illustration you’ll see anywhere in comics. Exploring the burgeoning career of Batwoman as she hones her skills against a demented cult, Rucka and Williams have created a classic story for the modern age – and set the stage for a new hero, whose adventures continue in Batwoman’s eponymous title for DC COMICS-THE NEW 52.

It’s a great gift for the holiday season, and one of the most artful illustrations of the heights that comic book craftsmanship can reach.

Round-Up of Holiday Coverage

Here in New York, weather forecasts are predicting snowfall on Thursday. It's just another sign that winter is in full swing and the holidays are just around the corner!

Holiday Gift Guides continue to roll in. ABC NEWS’ show, What’s the Buzz, ran a special Holiday Gift Guide segment on graphic novels, which called out DC COMICS: THE NEW 52 and BATMAN: NOEL. Additionally, they prominently displayed 100 BULLETS, VOL. 1 and THE ANNOTATED SANDMAN (which we suggested to you yesterday in our Holiday Gift Guide series here on THE SOURCE) in the feature.

Speaking of Holiday Gift Guides, AFTER ELLEN ranked the trade paperback edition of BATWOMAN: ELEGY as the top item on their “Gift Guide for the Gay Woman 2011.”

And to keep you in the holiday mood, POPMATTERS has just published a review of the New York Times bestseller, BATMAN: NOEL. “In the end, I’m simply haunted by the beauty of BATMAN: NOEL,” they wrote. “And my wish for you this Holiday Season, is that you will be too.”

To be continued …
