On the trail of DOLLHOUSE! CATWOMAN and her new partner, SPARK, take their relationship to a very intimate level! How will this affect Catwomans secret partnership with DETECTIVE ALVAREZ?
Really? Dollmaker, Doll House, whats with all these doll characters? Anyway, aside from that, I was surprised the kidnapper was a woman, that genuinely shocked me. And this was an alright story, nothing really stood out or made this special, but it wasn't bad either, just average I guess. I am interested in seeing how Catwoman finds Alvarez, and Batman is advertised for the next issue, so that will be interesting to say the least. Read Full Review
The opening scenes are Catwoman trying to get Detective Alvarez to listen to her as she nearly gets her butt kicked by him. We next see the villain known as Dollhouse deciding that she needs more 'dolls' as her inventory has been depleted. Meanwhile, Selina's friend Gwen has been kidnapped by a mystery man who knows all about her relationship with Catwoman.Catwoman visits her safe house and has a short rendezvous with her new partner and lover Spark which is interrupted by the detective who has a few tips as to where Dollhouse will strike next. The trio heads out to the different locations only to discover a diversion and in the midst of the confusion, Dollhouse strikes and kidnaps the detective as Selina arrives too late to do anything about it.The story was okay it moved quickly and the art was good. To be honest I'm not invested in Winick's run on this book and I'm enthusiastically looking forward to Ann Nocenti's upcoming run. Read Full Review
Winick's Catwoman left a bad taste in many readers' mouths with its first issue. And as much as the series has been able to prove it has substance beneath all the sex appeal, issues like this frustrate in their unwillingness to fully explore the characters and push the plot forward.

A fine issue I'll say. Nothing great about it though, just progressing the story more, getting done what needs to be done. Average art. I don't know, I just don't really find anything special about this arc. The whole Spark thing being a double agent is interesting, but it wasn't really touched upon here, and with Winick only having an issue left on the title, I feel as if not addressing it more here, may leave it to be a bit underwhelming when it finally comes out, if it does. Then like I said... Melo's art is fine, just nothing too special. Guillem March is a hard act to follow in my mind, and everything here is just a bit average, par for the course. Read Full Review
This is an issue that leaves me far less excited for the conclusion of the Dollhouse arc and more interested in what the new writer can bring to the table come issue #0. Read Full Review
