Disappointed as this wasn't a very self-contained volume... Clearly leading up to the next issues... Didn't keep my interest enough unfortunately to want to read more. Not bad, just not really my thing i think.

I just finished Detective Comics #858-860 a few days ago, which is the origin of Batwoman. I read #854-857 sometime last year. I probably won't get to the new series for a while until the single issue prices drop a bit. I wasn't going to mention it here but it does have monsters. That was the surprising part to me. The artwork is really good and I like Batwoman more than I thought I would. Kind of a realistic take on the origin of someone who could become a superhero.
Also, I finally finished the Ghost Omnibus vol. 1. The comic lost me towards the last 1/4 or so. The art quality dropped a bit and the story became more generic and seedy. I'm still going to check out the upcoming reboot later this year and maybe the older issue drawn by John Cassaday. But I won't get the other omnibus volumes after reading the wiki on what happens.
I don't have any other horror comics in my stack right now. There's a bunch of stuff I'm looking forward to picking up after I finish what I have. Horror titles like: House of Mystery, American Vampire, Rachel Rising, Vampirella, The Vault, Whispers, Girls, and The Last Resort. I'll probably start off with The Last Resort and Girls since I'm getting the collected versions of those. Plus The Vault which is only three issues.
