Chase (DC, 2011)

Reprints Chase #1-9 (Feb-Oct 1998) plus other materials to 20o2.

I finished reading this collection a couple of weeks ago after allowing it to sit unread on my shelf for a very long time, always intending to get to it but never actually doing so until toward the end of last month I picked it to be my “between-months” reading – what I read once I've finished my monthly mail-ordered comics before the next month's box comes in. I had initially been drawn toward it because Cameron Chase, Agent of the Department of Extranormal Operations, has been a major player in the New 52 Batwoman series virtually from the beginning, and this “cult favorite series from the 1990s” (back-cover blurb) was plotted and pencilled by the same writer-artist as produces the latter-day series, J. H. Williams III. I had, of course, encountered Chase herself in previous appearances here, there, and yonder through the years, most notably in Birds of Prey a few years ago, and I figured this would be a good way to get up to speed on the character.
