Catwoman Annual #2 "Shozen" Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Pat Olliffe and Tom Nguyen with John McCrea Once again, Valentine delivers another well written, well planned story. I've been incredibly pleased with the change of direction for Catwoman, and I've hesitantly been waiting for things to start falling apart. It’s not that I’m a…
Catwoman #37 "Sooner or Later You Will Descend" Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Gary Brown Have I told you how much I love this new creative team? Well, let me - I love this new creative team! If you haven't checked out Catwoman since Nocenti's departure, then I strongly advise you pick up issues…
Series 2 of the DC Collectibles Designer Series by Greg Capullo came out this week and the folks at DC were kind enough to send me an sample of the Catwoman figure. Unfortunately, I'm kind of disappointed in it. Don't get me wrong, overall it's a quality Catwoman figure, but it just doesn't have that…
Catwoman #36 “Keeper of the Castle” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Gary Brown Catwoman is back with its second installment of “Mob Boss Selina!” The debut of the creative change gave us a glimpse into Selina’s world now that she’s taken the thrown as the head of the Calabrese crime family. She replaced her…
Catwoman #35 "Comfort to the Hurt of the King" Written by: Genevieve Valentine Art by: Gary Brown God this has been a long time coming! I can't express the joy I have that Nocenti is no longer overseeing this book. I'm so glad that we have a new team, and are moving in a new…
Catwoman: Futures End #1 “The Death of Selina Kyle” Written by Sholly Fisch Art by Patrick Olliffe Look at this!!! Who knew this could happen? It's 2014, it's an issue of Catwoman, and I'm recommending that you go pick it up! And it's not because it's good compared to the trite that Nocenti gave us,…
Catwoman #34: “Remote Life” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe For a while, I never thought this day would come... Today, Ann Nocenti released her last issue of Catwoman! I cannot begin to tell you how overjoyed I am. I know I've been hard on Ann, but the quality of work she turned…
Catwoman #33: “Race of Thieves Part 4: A Cold Case” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe Ok... I know I'm the one reviewing this issue... But can anyone connect the dots of this arc, and logically make sense of it? I mean, I understand everything that happened, but I don't see how anyone…
Literary Caligula, Ann Nocenti, will be leaving Catwoman this October and is being replaced by newcomer Genevieve Valentine, according to an announcement from DC Comics this morning. After over a year of seeing Selina Kyle's personal style resemble that of Ke$ha (now spelled without the dollar sign), her adventures take her underground to battle subterranean…
Catwoman #32: “Race of Thieves, Part 3: Hijack” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe Remember when I was impressed with the previous issue of Catwoman for creating a decent heist story, where Catwoman used everyone around her to get ahead? Yeah, throw all of that out the window, because we’re back to complete…
Catwoman #31: “Race of Thieves, Part 2: Gauntlet” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe In the previous issue, we saw Selina swear off Catwoman, “save” her friend, Gwen, from suicide, then become Catwoman again, and join a race of thieves to help save kids who had been kidnapped by Roulette – apparently, that’s…
Alright, before I delve into this, I just want to say two things: Catwoman #30: “Race of Thieves, Part 1: Crime Pays” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe This issue comes straight out of “Gothtopia,” where Selina struggled to come to terms with the alternate reality of being a hero (Catbird) vs her…
A coherent, beautifully illustrated story about a street-tough woman with sex-appeal who resides in a moral grey zone that allows her to be a smart anti-hero who helps others yet serve her own self interest more often than not as she moonlights as a thief. She slips seamlessly into elegant parties, steals priceless items, she's…
A whiny Batman, a Ke$ha-esque Selina Kyle, a resurrection by cat-licking, and a demonic possession. This is Ann Nocenti & Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman and it's one of the worst things I've read. Content This softcover collects New 52 - Catwoman issues #0, 13-18. It's important to note that issue #18 was part of the Requiem…
Back in July I announced that I was done writing reviews about Ann Nocenti and Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman series until the book had a new creative team and Joker's Daughter #1 is written by Ann Nocenti. I reviewed Nocenti's run starting from the revival-by-cat-licking origin story all the way through the demon possession and finally…

Catwoman #22 might be the worst issue of Catwoman yet and since it's the worst thing I read, that's really saying something. Selina Kyle is such a great, iconic character and I'm fed up with seeing horrible issue after horrible issue. This all started with issue #0 when Ann Nocenti came aboard back in September…
Don't forget the milk! We have to get the milk! Catwoman #21 would actually have made an alright issue of No Man's Land, but with it taking place in the here and now I just found myself wondering where the police, national guard, and other vigilantes were. This place, The Badlands, gets obliterated! We're talking…
Judging by the books opening pages, you'd think that this would be another god-awful issue like pretty much everything else that we've seen since September, but it actually gets much better. Let me be clear: it gets better but I still don't recommend that you buy it. Ann Nocenti's Catwoman run is a risky buy…
Hey, it's that book I said I wasn't going to review this month! Well, I had to review the Annual anyway so I went ahead and read this one so I'd be able to follow along. Turns out, reading issue #20 wasn't totally necessary for grasping the complexities of the Catwoman Annual, who knew? If…
So I was reading the comic and about midway through my phone chimed with an email alert. I read the email and then figured I'd browse around the web a bit. After about a half hour of that I made myself something to eat and started reading Justice League, then He-Man #1, and after that…
