I really am enjoying the new series... there’s just one thing that is kind of bugging me. I’m usually a fan of Allreds color work but it’s really not working for me here. The night scenes aren’t reading as night scenes.
I mean, she’s basically stolen exact shots from Batman Returns for issue 2 and her costume is basically the Returns one minus the ripped sections and the open armpits. I still don’t like that the gloves separate from the sleeves though.Originally Posted by FBarnhill

I like that part, the short gloves and cutouts make an otherwise standard Catwoman costume look fresh and new. Originally Posted by vitaminbee

Didn’t the creator confirm she’s a lesbian? If so, diversity? Originally Posted by kjn

Whatever sells, I don't buy comics based solely upon diversity rather what entertains me. For example, I love Miles Morales to death but find Riri Williams an annoying weak character. Similarly, part of the reason I plan on adding Superior Octopus to my pull list is Anna Maria Marconi. My decision is not based on Anna Maria being a little person but rather her being an intriguing, dynamic character with a love of science and a tell it like it is personality.

It just seems impractical to me. The sleeve feels like it should be connected to the glove. The rest is cool though. I love the mask change and no more goggles (though I loved the Cooke design when it was drawn properly... by Cooke/Stewart). Originally Posted by Koriand'r

Sorry, don't read the book or know anything about it. If it is a female character, cool. Just nothing in the title that clued me in this was about a woman. Okay, 2 females, 8 males. Still a large gap. Originally Posted by kjn

Anyone pick up Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester this week? I thought it was really surprisingly delightful. Selina teams up with nearly every DC Cat and Bird-themed character, with Black Canary providing a strong supporting presence, and Simone provides a really clever plot backed by Inaki Miranda (who's become something of a go-to artist for Selina since his run on the title from #47-52, and returning with Batgirl #13).

CATWOMAN #3 was pretty good, but Selina has been too slow and weak in this series, taking hits from novices. I understand she is upset over Bruce and hasn't been sleeping. But she has faced much harder times and still maintained her speed, reflexes, and skills as a gymnast and martial artist. But the artwork is great. I LOVE seeing her in her new costume. The writing is good, but I'd like it to pick up the pace.
I like Joelle Jones, I enjoyed meeting her at the Heroes Convention, but I wish she would just do the art of the comic and have a better writer do the scripts and plotting.

Joelle Jones has created an interesting villain and I like her side characters. She has a similar vibe to Valentine I think. While I would like to see the story progress a bit faster as well, especially because every Issue gives limited story points to talk about, I tent to enjoy slow Catwoman arcs for whatever reason. The smoke bomb scene made me chuckle. It was stupid but just so unexpected.
As for the tease... I do wonder how that plays into the story and/or ungoing arcs. And what their relationship is at the moment. I guess spoilers:
end of spoilers is her reason for being in Villa Hermosa.Maggie
