Asking the question, "Who is Selina Kyle?" has gotten folks hurt in the past...but this time it's Selina asking about herself. Meanwhile, the disgraced Creel family are marshalling their resources to make a return to Villa Hermosa and claw their way back to the top.
The art is a tag team event this month between Blanco and Petrus and it is very well done. The art is almost seamless and keeps up the gritty style. The chase and acrobatics pages are spectacular. Selina is elegant and a powerhouse all in one. This tag team effort gets complemented by the coloring of Kalisz who mutes much of the hues in the dark night of the chase. He contrasts this by offering an open brightness in the daytime talk among the Creel brood. Saida Temofonte manages the heavy dialogue scenes well. It would be easy to crowd up word balloons and drown out the art but she handles it expertly. She also makes sound effects in a smaller font size, which I tend to prefer. Read Full Review
For about four pages, this issue is impressively breathtaking as Catwoman ride a motorcycle in pursuit of the truck. Its not enough to make the issue entirely satisfying, but its really impressive that Jones and company did as good a job as they did making that one action sequence feel as intense as it does. If only the issue had animated by a bit more of that kind of action it might have been amazing. Read Full Review
The first half to the book has art by Blanco, which is what I preferred. That's not to say the second half by Petrus isn't bad, I just preferred Blanco's art. It's a simple issue that's pretty enjoyable. And sometimes that's all you need. Read Full Review
Structured around an extended chase sequence - first between vehicles, then on foot -Catwoman #11's big draw is in how the thrill of motion can be conveyed through sequential, yet still images. Read Full Review
This issue has shed a lot of the fat of the previous one and focuses on intense action and celebrity flash. A gorgeously drawn, fast-paced race that will leave you out of breath. There's not much more to it than that, but it works all the same. Read Full Review
ConclusionJones has filled Catwoman #11 with lots of little tweaks to the genre. This issue has been one of the strongest in the run visually, but hasn't done much for the ongoing story. What it has done admirably, is give an indication as to what further trials and tribulations our dear Miss Kyle could be facing in the coming issues. With the understated but dramatic ending, I think we have much to look forward to. Read Full Review
Another decompressed issue with some some funny moments, while this is still better than some Catwoman stories of days gone by, its not living up to the quality that was put forth by the first story arc, and thats a disappointment. Read Full Review
In a issue that is more connective tissue than limb, Jolle Jones manages to keep the story interesting by giving Mrs. Creel her own zombie sidekick, if he could be called that. With some minor bumps in the art department, the issue will likely be better read when in trade. Read Full Review
In terms of plot, things don't advance in a massive way, but there's still enough to make fans eager to read the next issue. Read Full Review
I really want to like this book, but there is nothing of note going on with the story and most of the characters are either forgettable or just forgotten. It feels like this is a placeholder until Catwoman has bigger and better things to do and because of that, I can't recommend to anyone who isn't grabbing it for the Artgerm covers. Read Full Review
Time will tell on Catwoman. After her recent departure from Batman's life in a pretty dramatic way, we can only hope their paths will cross sooner than later. Catwoman is having a tough time carrying her own title and perhaps its time for her to go away for a bit. Too much of any good thing is too much! Read Full Review
This issue delivers some solid action that flows nicely from panel to panel, but Joelle Jones doing the art is once again missed.
No real story progression. So far this series has been just plain boring. I don't care about the whole Creel story at all. I just want it over with. The new characters that Cat is hanging around don't interest me much either. I so hope that the one character is not going to become involved romantically with her. If that is where the writer takes it I'll stop reading the series. The series has for the most part already been boring from the beginning. If they cheapen Selina's character over all on top of that with having her hook up with someone so soon, that will totally ruin it for me. I love Catwoman. She is my favorite comic character period. I really hope this writer gets it together and starts writing her right. Give us some grief over more
THE GOOD:
-Wow. It's been a bit since I've reviewed this series, hasn't it? I just binge read the last several issues, and surprisingly enough, I enjoyed them.
-Fernando Blanco's art was really good. Unfortunately, the fill in artist wasn't great.
-Those action scenes were fantastic. I could follow the action easily and it was well staged.
-Raina Creel still manages to be a great villain and her son is really creepy.
THE BAD:
-The bad fill-in artist.
-Those red carpet scenes weren't really necessary and they were really boring.
-I have no idea what was going on with that shoe.
-This series always seems to just end at the most random spo more
This issue was kind of Meh. No real story progression at all. Selina is rescuing a guy from a car& Mrs. Creel is talking to her son. That’s really it. I liked the scene with Ms. Creel, because it was pretty cool& made her look crazy. But I would have liked to see some plot progression.
A quick read with great art but in all honesty, was a crap issue in a story. Didn’t progress anything at all! Could have skipped this and not read it. Only thing it showed us was Mother Creel being a badass.
Well I enjoyed the stolen Singin’ in the Rain joke at least.
Not much happening here, as usual. The flow in action is sometimes inconsistent. I think this book needs some sort of real direction, and soon. It's boring at best, and a waste of time at worst.
WTF is this? Filler material from cover to cover.
