Catwoman of East End Omnibus

I actually wanted to hear from y'all about this book...

I LOVE Brubaker, not a huge fan of Darwyn Cooke (I know, sacralidge, but he's just too cartoony for me), but I do like Paul Gulacy.
Is this a book I should pick up?

100% pick it up. It's the only Catwoman run that's worth a damn, and Brubaker is great on writing. Cooke only does the OGN and the first 4 issues, I believe.

It depends on how much you dislike the Cooke style of art. Gulacy does roughly a quarter of the art in the book. Cooke does a bit less, but the remaining art is more similar to Cooke than Gulacy. If you look at the video from about 2:20 you'll get an idea of what the art between Cooke and Gulacy is like, which might help

Personally, I'm not a fan of Gulacy's art, but I'm still picking this up the second I see it going for a decent price. Writing wise, I think Brubaker knocks it out of the park on this series. The only gripes I'd have about the story is the treatment of one returning character (no spoilers, in case you don't know the plot), and that his final issues feel a bit rushed, probably because he had to work the War Games crossover into them. If the non-Cooke/Gulacy artwork isn't too cartoony for you, then I'd say go for it.

I would like it but I have that whole series in fat TPB form and I would hate to have half in different formats as I liked the later run also.

I’m waiting for my copy. Is this even out? It’s the last piece of my Brubaker Batman/DC work that I’m looking for…

Officially, it's due out this week in the direct market, and next week in the book market. But copies seem to have been floating around since early June.

Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fool’s Night claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon…and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up—it’s put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer…and a lot less free under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It’s to this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman…with her mind on one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn’t need the money—she just needs to know…who is “Orpheus”? Visionary creator Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Paper Girls) writes, draws, colors, and letters the story of a world without Batman, where one woman’s wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city! It’s an unmissable artistic statement that will change the way you see Gotham’s heroes and villains forever! Collects Catwoman: Lonely City #1-4.

Does anyone know if the Catwoman of East End Omnibus generally had some shipping delays for its official release this week? Some sites have it, others don't, others had it early but don't have it anymore, etc.

I'm legitimately shocked they're actually completing this.

Still would've preferred a series of chunky trades (a la Hellblazer) over three unwieldy monsters, but good on DC for seeing it through til the end!

I haven't checked online, but upon release week I saw physical copies at all four of the local shops I frequent in my area...
