8 on Batman/Catwoman #12 reviewBatman/Catwoman #12 delivers a satisfying conclusion for readers of this series as well as Tom King’s actual Batman run. It will not win over new readers or those who weren’t fans of King’s Batman to begin with, but for those still reading this often delayed series the final moments should prove heartwarming. Right off the…
Questions are answered in Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman #11, though many readers will find the resolutions to be lacking. King’s scripts have kept the reader at a distance in many ways. Between his non-linear narrative and the time skips between issues, it’s no surprise that when the pieces finally fall into place it…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
Batman/Catwoman #8 is a visual feast courtesy of Liam Sharp, who utilizes various styles to keep up with Tom King’s twisty script. The barriers between the various timelines blur more than ever before, but each individual scene is incredibly strong despite the bevy of themes and ideas King throws at the reader. You’re either on…
Batman/Catwoman #6 is one of the better entries of the series so far. While the narrative momentum still has its issues between the delayed shipping schedule and the three time period structure, the tangible moment to moment scenes are more engaging than usual. Now if only I could remember what the hell is going on.…
Batman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
Batman/Catwoman #4 is mean down to the bone. No one, except the villains, likes each other and Tom King’s script offers mass murderers a sense of camaraderie our heroes seem incapable of possessing. Maybe that’s the point, I have little doubt it’s intentional, but between sloppy transitions and the detached aura the fractured narrative creates,…
Batman/Catwoman #3 refines some themes Tom King set up in previous issues while slightly advancing the core narrative across the three time periods established so far. There’s no surprises in this issue, but the tense atmosphere remains palpable despite a narrative that amounts to spinning plates and waiting for one to finally crash. In previous…
Batman/Catwoman #2 delivers more of the same, but that’s not always a bad thing. Non-linear storytelling, striking art, and a compelling, though still vague, mystery drives this month’s issue. It’s a delicate balancing act, but whenever Tom King’s script lags in plot progression or clarity, Clay Mann’s beautiful art picks up the slack and almost…
Batman/Catwoman #1 is yet another intriguing puzzle courtesy of Tom King, which is sure to satisfy his fans and frustrate his detractors. However, despite its chilly atmosphere and non-linear structure, the real mystery is exactly how this book will work its way through DC Comics’ sticky continuity. For those unaware, Batman/Catwoman is a continuation of…
