So I have made no secret of the fact that the Catwoman run up to this point has been slow and generic. There were far too many uninteresting characters, all of them new, and most of whose motives we learn far too late owing to the in medias res style of storytelling employed. The art…

Remember that HBO show Westworld? The one that started off strong but then the creative team got a bad case of the “I-need-to-be-smarter-than-my-viewers”-itis? For those who don’t know or have forgotten, the premise of that show was in extremely simplified terms was if humanity creates artificial life to do its bidding (which in an HBO…

So this arc of Catwoman has been going on for so long that we have our third artist on this title (please welcome Danilo Beyruth). And yes, someone might argue that all of these issues have consisted of multiple two-part mini-arcs with separate names. To that I would say, I can reheat leftover pizza from…

The last time we left Selina, we were learning about how her time as Evie led to her being hunted in the present day. While we had been getting flashbacks to her time as Evie interspersed throughout the run, #75 decided to focus entirely on the flashbacks. Which introduced a bunch of new characters on…

Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary friends…it’s finally happened. An issue of Catwoman where we get to experience the rare phenomenon of plot progression as this issue finally starts to utilize all the plot points this series has acquired so far. Does it do it well? The story opens with the death of one of Selina’s old acquaintances…

After causing mayhem at a party of one of the Belov brothers, Selina makes her way to Japan in search of further answers. Does the location switch manage to liven up what has been a rather dull story so far? So stop me if you’ve heard this before. Catwoman is attacked by assailants who seem…

So far, this run on Catwoman has been pretty to look at but has underwhelmed a bit in terms of its approach to the story. While not bad, the story has felt like a mix of previously established Catwoman tropes commonly seen in previous stories like When in Rome and Lonely City (yes, I recently…

So Selina’s on the run from her past (again)? Can she overcome the bounty placed on her head by the “bad guys” out to get her? Eh, it's probably a matter of when, not if. Anyway, let’s get into part 3 of this story… Part 1? So, the previous issue was an inconclusive end to…

This month Tini Howard wraps up her two-and-a-half year run on Catwoman and the ten-part “Nine Lives” arc with a final action extravaganza. It’s no secret that, as this arc has progressed, I’ve grown increasingly dissatisfied with it, despite a strong start. Can this finale give some meaning to the protracted story I’ve been reading…

We’ve finally reached the penultimate chapter of “Nine Lives.” Assuming the cover text doesn’t turn you away completely, maybe you’re wondering if Tini Howard can build to a satisfying ending after so many months of setup? Well, I know I was, so let’s get right into it! This issue is a lot of fighting and…

“Nine Lives” is inching closer to its conclusion as this month Catwoman and Scandal Savage attempt to put a stop to the White Glove. Will they succeed? Can this arc regain my interest before the end? Let’s see! I have to say, I was significantly more engaged with the first half of this comic than…

 Another month down and “Nine Lives” just won’t die; apt I suppose. It started out as a strong story and bottomed out in the middle but, despite slight recovery, it has now just lost my interest. Maybe this month can pick it back up. Let’s find out! The first thing I noticed was the change up in artists. Ivan Shavrin takes over for Di Giandomenico and colors…

Catwoman #64 follows up the ending of the previous issue with Veronica Viceroy’s crime coalition planning to take down our feline protagonist. Meanwhile, she's plotting a way to avoid their surveillance. That means it’s time to go to space and knock out a spy satellite. Ludicrous? Sure. Entertaining? Let’s find out! I’ve definitely soured on…

Last month the "Nine Lives" arc crashed and burned as we were treated to one of the worst issues I’ve read since I started reviewing this title. However, I know Tini Howard can write a good Catwoman story and I’m hoping last month was a fluke. So, let’s buckle in as Catwoman heads to the…

It seems like Amanda Waller is everywhere at DC right now but you know where she hasn’t been yet? Catwoman. This month DC fixes that as Selina joins the Suicide Squad to steal from Black Adam. It should be interesting to see how this turns out, so let’s get right into it! Last month, we…

This month Catwoman is using up another of her nine lives in a decidedly more pursuit than we've yet seen: stealing radioactive black-glass corium from the heart of a melted-down nuclear plant in Markovia! So far I’ve been enjoying this arc and this issue is no different. In fact, this is the best story yet!…

Catwoman is back this month to make use of another of her newly gained nine lives. This month she’s after Flamingo, who has holed up in Croatia and joined a “theater of death.” Can Selina make it out without losing another life? More importantly, is this issue worth reading? Well, let’s get into it! It’s…
