(W) Marguerite Bennett (A) Fernando Blanco (CA) Ben Oliver
"FEAR AND LOATHING" part one! When her father, Colonel Jacob Kane, realized that Kate would never become the soldier he wanted, he chose someone else to lead his secret paramilitary group, the Colony. That man-Colony Prime-hates nobody on Earth the way he hates Kate...and the feeling is mutual! So when the two of them are stranded in the Sahara Desert, heavily dosed with Scarecrow's fear toxin, with no way to survive except to rely on each other...they might just choose death instead!
What Red Shirt Comics said:
Batwoman is a book that doesn't get nearly enough due around here. Fantastic art, compelling storytelling and fantastic selection of rogues have me talking about this book on the regular.

(W) Jim Zub (A/CA) Djibril Morissette-Phan
Kaydon Klay wants to be famous. She wants it more than anything else she's ever known. The dream is hers for the taking, and all she has to do is embrace the national tragedy that's put her in the spotlight... Fan-favorite writer JIM ZUB (WAYWARD, Uncanny Avengers) and artist DJIBRIL MORISSETTE-PHAN (All-New Wolverine, Ultimates) continue their twisted exploration of fame and failure. The entertainment industry feeds on our insecurities, desires, and fears. You can't toy with those kinds of primal emotions without them biting back.

What Red Shirt Comics said:
What a dark and weird story this is. I don't know how to talk about it without spoilers. Seriously, I have no idea what to make of the ending except I need to know where it goes.
