The Rundown: Catwoman does battle with a mysterious foe while attempting to gain information from an associate.
The issue opens with a violent incident and a mysterious character. Later, Catwoman is approached by a past ally seeking her help. When she goes in search of a well known associate, she is met by something unexpected. Catwoman must then decide what will be her next move.
The Story: There are lots of interesting things happening in this action packed issue. And I really like how Ram V is able to deliver a lot of content without the narrative feeling rushed or overwhelming. I want to know more about Catwoman’s interactions with each of the characters she encounters. Also, the episode’s cliffhanger was very compelling, and I can’t wait to find out more.
The Art: Fernando Blanco uses a traditional comic book style to bring life to this story. This is enhanced by the color work of Jordie Bellaire. The action scenes are well done and engaging. I like the muted colors that were used for the night scenes. The varying use of greens was eye-catching and really drew me into the story.
