Home / Catwoman #39 (2018)
What If? The new "era" of Catwoman raised the bar so much that it was perfectly vertical, and could be spun about on in a saucy fashion? Well, then you'd have a rare comic where the cover tells you exactly where the story goes, just with less rooftop and more Sopranos set. It looks as if the new direction of the book will be some combination of Darwyn Cooke characterization, a colorist who's figured out latex, and clean art that has the vibe of the Jim Balent run, but drawn with a smaller compass. The writing works here just as well as the pretty pictures, bringing a heist movie feel to a character that can often read as "will she or won't she?", to which the author responds with a resounding "She will, often, and with panache."
Highly recommended for anybody interested in the mob structure of Gotham, fans of Batman Returns, and anybody who knows that Bruce Wayne should really step up that game, right quick.
