BB, I've seen "nonlinear" done well in monthly books with no or minimal confusion. Here, I think they were using the method to try to spice up what was a pretty unremarkable story by trying to play up perspectives. I seriously doubt reading it all together would improve it much at all.
Of course, I'm far from unbiased about this, having dropped the book a few months back. Not even the return of JHW3 could lure me back. (Also wasn't please that Amy Reeder was canned as alternate artist, either.)

ugh, Flash didn't have nearly enough writing at all! Most comics now spread the story out over 4 issues but Flash's story was much thinner than most. I read about 10 issues and got maybe 2 issues worth of story.
The guy is fast as light ... and yet ... the story ... is .... so ... sloooowwww.

I completely disagree with the comparison to Flash--The Flash started out kinda decompressed, but after the first arc, it's had a lot of fast, strong stories reintroducing the Rogues Gallery while moving forward a couple of key sub-plots (like Patty, the police captain, and so on). Batwoman, on the other hand, has basically been telling the same story for well over a year at this point, in a way that's infuriatingly slow.
