Catwoman: Lonely City #1 features an older Selina Kyle attempting to pull off one last heist, along with and the full range of Cliff Chiang's artistic talents. While the "hero in a dystopian setting" is a well-worn road at this point and often yields mixed results, I can safely recommend it to longtime Batman fans. Read Full Review

Catwoman - Lonely City #1 is out this week from creator Cliff Chiang, who serves up a riff on The Dark Knight Returns, that centers on Catwoman and does everything with endearing charm. This might be 2021s best Gotham City comic, which is saying a lot. Read Full Review

Click on the image above to view the full-size page in another tab.I've heard some say that DC Black Label might as well be called DC Bat Label for all the dark Batman stories it produces. While that's a fair complaint, Catwoman: Lonely City is a noir masterpiece that exemplifies everything DC's adult imprint should be capable of. Well done, Mr. Chiang! Read Full Review

Reading this book, I couldn't shake the feeling that this book is effectively Selina's Dark Knight Return. Look at the similarities; its a four book affair, Two-Face is in the first book and her action are driven by a loss. Oh and there is the ten year element. With all that said, Catwoman Lonely City is a great addition to the Black Label stable. Read Full Review

Catwoman has another champion. Black Label is the perfect venue for this book! Lonely City should be anything but that as you need this on your shelf. So many Batman books, but you really should start a Catwoman shelf. Great job Cliff Chiang! Read Full Review

There's been some quality Black Label books and some misses. If it stays at this quality, Catwoman Lonely City might go down as one of the best Selina Kyle stories and possibly inspire the next generation of creators. Read Full Review

Chiang said his inspiration here was the Brubaker/Cooke Catwoman run, and this might be the best spotlight for Selina since then. Read Full Review

Chiang sets up a compelling narrative following the capers of a middle aged Catwoman. I appreciate that this story is set in an evolved Gotham and shows how several villains have recreated their images. It feels very fresh and realistic. Read Full Review

With equal parts kitsch, sass, and a whole lot ofexquisite art, Cliff Chiang has decided to throw his hat in, and give us one of the most interesting looks at Gotham City. His style of Neo-classicism really lends to the strength of his storytelling abilities. High art mixed with the flair of the noir, Selinas world is magical here, and looks like it stepped right out of a 60s Pop Art Deco exhibit. Hopefully the rest of this mini is as enjoyable as this one was. Read Full Review

Catwoman: Lonely City #1 is an engaging start to the new story created by Cliff Chiang. It presents many interesting dilemmas and problems to be solved, while giving the reader plenty of good reasons to be curious about this older, perhaps wounded Catwoman, and how far she will go to find out the meaning of the last word she heard before things fell apart 10 years ago on Fool's Night. Read Full Review

Off to an intriguing start, Catwoman: Lonely City #1 proves that Cliff Chiang is more than just an incredible artist - but a capable storyteller in his own right. Read Full Review

Catwoman: Lonely City #1 is one of the best new comics I've read in a long while. It creates an atmosphere of nostalgia and manages to zero in on what people like about Batman comics by exploring a scenario with all of those signature elements taken away. The characterization feels natural and three-dimensional, evoking sympathy when you realize the circumstances the characters have been put into. It's a story of very human struggles set against a backdrop of an exploration of what Gotham is and what it means. Read Full Review

With a new story starting in this new, and ambitious space, anything can happen in this title, and I'm eager to see what comes next. Read Full Review

Less than thrilled by the changes to the city, and still haunted by the past, Selina struggles to fit in calling on old friends and finding it much harder to perform her rooftop antics after a decade in prison. She does have a mystery to solve, and a final word from a dying Batman all those years ago. Can Catwoman become the hero that the new Gotham City needs her to be? Read Full Review

Glad I finally got to this. Definitely one of the best things DC is putting out. A must read.

Yo, this was perfect. I almost cried, wtf.

Awesome!

Absolutely fn amazing the next great DC book

Amazing job of making this character so real. I'm all in with this series.

Chiang is a true five tool talent. He can really do it all and the art and colors shined here.

The world weary Catwoman idea really hooked me in too. So many good elements. The secret closet with all the old costumes. Oswald going legit more so because the world around him is on his corrupt level. And I absolutely loved the way Chiang drew the full page shot of Selina’s only moment of joy this issue. This book could be something really special.

Excellent writing debut for Cliff Chiang. Already better than all those shitty 2000s writers that people on this site slurp off.

I really enjoyed this, this has great art, pacing, story and dialogue.

Not bad, though I feel like the main premise is not very great but I enjoyed it for a first issue.

This is pretty good. With all the Magistrate shit going on in the mainline continuity, this miniseries doesn't stand out nearly as much as it should, but it's competent. The art is good and the writing is on point. I just have some trouble connecting with it.
