This is no set up for King’s version of Catwoman.
And Catwoman sort of plays weakly to Stark’s macho strength the fit is wrong here. The guy in this tale, Stark, is really Parker a “real man,” chiseled and steely and without a drop of sympathetic emotion that said, it’s not as good as the Parker volumes, as story or art. This collection, tracking one "trail" of Catwoman, opens with Darwyn Cooke’s story of Catwoman, “Selina’s Big Score,” which is more a tribute to Richard Stark’s Parker series, several volumes of which he would later illustrate. And I recall Ed Brubaker wrote this Catwoman. I was looking for the origins of a sympathetic, vulnerable Catwoman who has-for a time-left her cat burglar life behind and actually wants to fight crime. I stopped in the middle of the Tom King Batman run because he has Batman and Catwoman make a little music together (I’ve only read through volume 2 so far), and I know more happens in that direction in the Batworld, so I wanted to remind myself what I knew of relatively recent approaches to Catwoman. I have even more angles of Catwoman to ponder on and found this volume to be entertaining and a nice diversion for me. I enjoyed the graphics, dialogue and stories included in this collection. The first part of the novel is part heist, part noir, and sets the stage Selina/Catwoman’s new outlook on life.
The action takes place in the East End where the people need an equalizer of Catwoman’s caliber. She returns to Gotham City, has a little bit of a makeover, and then begins doing some detective work, hoping to find a serial killer targeting sex -workers. In this collection, Selina has faked her own death. She’s got a painful past, has not always walked on good side of the law, but is a character who wants to be a good person-at least in this volume of stories. Why I am drawn to the Catwoman character is her complexity. Selina’s Big score, plus detective comics 759-762 = Three hundred + pages. This one was on Hoopla and it seemed to be well received- so I thought this might be a good place to dive in. There are SO many to choose from, I had a hard time deciding where to begin. (Originally published in 2008)īecause I named my new kitten, Selina, after Catwoman, it was only fitting that I catch up on a few Catwoman comics for fun. Catwoman Volume one: Trail of the Catwoman is a 2012 DC Comics publication.
