![]() ![]() The story starts a little slow, but it build pace quickly and I found myself lost in it. This Selina is tough because she’s been dealt a cruel hand and has learned to cope (sometimes badly). Ah yes, Frank Miller and his prostitution as #edgy fetish. This is much more narratively interesting than sexy socialite stealing for thrills or the Frank Miller approach where every woman is a prostitute. It’s a neat take on the character, and I found myself enjoying the little Easter eggs throughout. This Selina grows into her independence, but we see she has a ways to go. I grew up with an adult Catwoman confident in her independence and abilities, aware of and using her sexuality to manipulate others. The story wasn’t what I expected from a Catwoman book. Warning: spoilers ahead! It’s a beautiful, eye-catching cover that I couldn’t pass up. The story and art are quite beautiful and perfect for the YA audience in search of a new, relatable origin story for Catwoman. ![]() There was so much to see and so many good books available! One of the purchases I carted home last night in my carry-on bag is the new graphic novel Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale written by Lauren Myracle and illustrated throughout by Isaac Goodhart. Try as I might, I couldn’t stay away from the DC Comics booth at BookCon in New York city this past weekend. ![]()
