I’ve really enjoyed the first two books of ‘The Other History Of The DC Universe’ by John Ridley and realized when I read the DC history of Bumblebee how much of her DC history was included in the story. To that end I’d like to read as much about Tatsu Yamashiro, aka Katana, before issue #3 of 'The Other History Of The DC Universe" is released so that I can know her lineage in the books before she gives her side of the story.
That said - where does her story begin? I know she had the 10-issue run as part of the New 52 but what about before that? Any tips/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks! I just looked that up and I actually read that issue as part of the book that was released last year - DC Through the 80s: The End of Eras (DC Through the Decades). Looks like from there I’ll pick up the trail with Batman & The Outsiders Volume 1.
I hope you enjoy reading Batman And The Outsiders and, in particular, the early adventures of Katana. Katana is a team player for most of the series (as are all the Outsiders). However, the first year of BATO is important, as it establishes Katana’s mother/daughter relationship with Halo and culminates with her origin in issues #11-12. Katana also gets a small spotlight in issue #24 (a fun issue that sets up the Outsiders’ first encounter with Kobra, which occurs in issues 25-27).
