Too bad this is Katana of DC Comics New 52, well not really new I'll just say 52. And 52 is the number this title will never reach, maybe 8 for an over-sized trade but this book will be gone within a year left hanging on the great DC dart board in the basement bathroom stall behind a door reading "Beware of the Lepoard." Under a capable writer Katana could very well be a classic tragic hero for DC to cart around their books, like Wolverine 35 years ago, but under its current regime this character will hold readers interest only long enough for the next DC #1 hits the stands, Vibe.
I'm sorry I wish I could be positive about this title but there is little reason to support it because it is destine for the great dollar bin in the sky.

It has been years since I've read anything by her, but I have fond memories of her work. Her run on Daredevil remains a favorite of mine. So, wow, Katina #1 is a major disappointment. The dialogue is atrocious. It's awkward and overwritten and completely a chore to read. Essentially, I had trouble finishing this issue and following the paper-thin story because I had trouble forcing myself to get through each world balloon. I just wanted everyone to shut up, so that I could enjoy the art. Sanchez's work is excellent. But his art is wasted on this meaningless dribble.

Have you actually gone back and tried to re-read any of that earlier stuff by Nocenti you're referencing there? I have tried to read some of her Daredevil issues within the last couple years, and they have all the same problems you're describing there to me.

I was going to read this book, but when I noticed that "Katana" was wielding a cutlass on the cover, and not, you know... A katana...
I figured why bother, they were obviously phoning this one in.
