Women Wednesday: Punchline #1

First, here is the summery for Punchline #1 now on sale:

Spinning out of the pages of "The Joker War" comes the first solo book starring the blockbuster new character Punchline. As she faces the consequences for her role in "The Joker War," the story of how Alexis Kaye became Punchline will take Leslie Thompkins, Harper Row, and Cullen Row on a harrowing journey that reveals a fringe teenager's radicalization to the ideology of a madman.

I actually found myself enjoying the story and artwork more than I thought I would. My main reason for enjoying this issue had more to do with Harper Row aka Bluebird and her brother, Cullen, than that of Punchline herself. The artwork is surprisingly bright considering how dark the artwork usually is in the Batman books. I can actually read the white text on black background. Overall, I give this issue a B-.
