7 on Catwoman #33 reviewCatwoman #33 picks the pace right back up on a narrative front, effortlessly regaining its high stakes after two issues of backstory. That’s not to say the series ever dipped, but Ram V’s script does appear to know it’s time to ramp up again given the sheer amount of chaos in this month’s issue. Fernando…
Alright, that's it. Justice League and its backup, Justice League Dark, do not belong in the same comic book. Both of these books have their merits (though those who have read my reviews until now know which of the two I prefer), but they do not compliment each other well at all. Bendis' Justice League is a…
Catwoman 2021 Annual #1 wisely chooses to flesh out series villain, Father Valley, right after the previous issue focused on Selina and her allies. The overarching narrative remains ever present, allowing Ram V’s script to remain relevant in the larger scheme, while mostly looking backwards in time to fill in some gaps. Armed with a…
Catwoman #32 takes a slight detour from the main narrative to examine Selina Kyle’s influence on those who have come in contact with her. While it’s risky to essentially slip a one-shot in the middle of a story arc, Ram V’s breakdown of Selina is captivating and guest artist Evan Cagle’s pencils are stunning. Any…
In many ways, it's hard to believe we're only three issues into Brian Michael Bendis' run of Justice League. I can't say I'm complaining! Reviewing two Justice League comics a month wasn't my favourite thing to do when the books were only occasionally delivering an issue I genuinely really enjoyed. That said, there are downsides to this new…
Catwoman #31 brings the series back to a heist oriented storyline, but Ram V’s script delivers these familiar goods in a stylish package. Fernando Blanco is allowed to stretch his comedic muscles more than usual, whether it be through taking jabs at high society or the sly glances Selina exchanges with her allies right before…
Catwoman #30 is a set up issue, but Ram V’s script makes sure to dole out the necessary exposition with ample style. While this month’s issue lacks the sheer amount of action and stakes of the previous chapter, artist Fernando Blanco takes full advantage of the exciting moments he’s afforded and supplies more than enough…
Nightwing #79 shows that Tom Taylor understands not only what makes Dick Grayson tick but what makes him appealing to so many readers in the first place. So far, this is a very pleasant series. It has a strong community vibe and gives Blüdhaven a sense of character that has long been missing. Bruno Redondo’s…
Catwoman #29 is another strong outing for Ram V and Fernando Blanco that manages to expand the scope of the series without falling under the weight of its ambition. There are aspects of the narrative that feel a little sudden, but the added characters spice up the series and gently nudge the book into a…
Future State: Catwoman #2 solidifies this two part story as my favorite of the entire Future State line. Otto Schmidt’s art remains immaculate, Ram V’s script is well paced, and there’s a sense of closure while remaining open ended if this storyline is ever to be picked up again. All in all, Future State: Catwoman…
Future State: Catwoman #1 is one of the best books to come out of DC’s latest initiative. Ram V’s script is perfectly paced and engaging. The world building is more nuanced than most other Future State books and Otto Schmidt’s art delivers the goods when it comes to both spectacle and delicate character moments. Even…
Ram V and Fernando Blanco turn in another fiercely paced, well constructed chapter with Catwoman #28. While there are very minor flaws in a few beats, V’s script manages to turn what could’ve been a generic mob war plotline into a fun, heist oriented showdown that’s equal parts Home Alone and Heat. V’s script sets…
Catwoman #27 is monumental. No, there’s no major event in this issue. There’s no new character introduced that speculators will buy up in hopes to make a profit. There’s just twenty-two pages of confident, enthralling, and downright beautiful storytelling on display. Ram V and Fernando Blanco have been firing on all cylinders in this series…
While last month’s issue gave a glimpse at what Ram V and Fernando Blanco had in store for their run, Catwoman #26 delivers a more focused and intriguing set of obstacles for Selina to overcome. V’s Selina is far removed from the self loathing mess of previous arcs and while there are a few cracks…
While the last two issues of Catwoman were a fun enough diversion, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the start to Ram V and Fernando Blanco’s run beginning with this week’s Catwoman #25. Is it unfortunate that the first issue of their ongoing run is a Joker War tie in? Sure, but V does a great job…
