I finally got to read Batman/Catwoman #1 and... I NEED MORE!!!
I knew beforehand that Tom King decided to use time-jumps in an abrupt way as a narrative mechanism, so I was prepared to notice the differences between timelines and, with that in mind, the comic flows well imo. It has enough twists to keep me engaged in the story. I like to see some of that old friendship between Selina and Joker that was referenced way back in the main Batman title, just before "the wedding".
Clay Mann does an amazing job, and he seems the perfect fit for this superhero comicbook that has a high level of sexyness. Tomeu Morey in colors is amazing, as always
I'm looking forward for the next couple of issues that should arrive the next week to my country (shipping's dates are a mess currently)

Ooh, nice! So glad you are enjoying it! I also really liked the connection to the Best Man arc, really makes it feel like it's actually part of Tom King's overall plan, even though it's also very distinct in many ways.
Clay Mann's work is really stunning indeed - there's so much detail and richness in composition.

I read issue #2; it has a slow pace, but I'm super intrigued by the Phantasm story in the "present", and I wonder where the "future" arc will go next, with Joker dead. I know Helena shows up in the book, but I don't know what she will deal with. I need more on the "past" storyline to know where it's headed and if it's on the same level than the other 2. I guess something will happen between Selina and Joker, that leads Selina to take a morally ambiguos action. Overall, I'm having a blast, but I wish I could get a little more of each storyline. Looking forward for issue #3
