In "Go, Part 2," Kate Kane’s journey from military disgrace to Gotham’s streets takes a pivotal turn as she confronts the fallout of being outed and expelled from West Point. Now a fugitive from her old life, she arrives in Gotham and finds an unexpected ally in Detective Renee Montoya. With Greg Rucka’s sharp storytelling and J. H. Williams III’s stunning visuals—enhanced by Dave Stewart’s evocative colors and Todd Klein’s precise lettering—this issue deepens the mystery of Batwoman’s origin, all set against the noir pulse of Gotham. The cover by J. H. Williams III and Cully Hamner captures the tension and isolation of Kate’s new beginning.
