Chaos reigns in Villa Hermosa as all the bad guys in town rush to fill the void left by the Creel family's ouster. But as Raina Creel's dark plot to resurrect her son comes to a gruesome crescendo, Catwoman may finally be able to put her foe down once and for all. That is, if she can reconcile her own past and find her footing again.

    If art crime and espionage-flavored superheroing interests you, Catwoman should be right up your alley. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jun 12, 2019

    Visual inconsistency aside, Jones packs a lot of plot and character development into 20 or so pages. Through it all, Catwoman remains a rather great mystery at the heart of the series. Shes a mystery hidden in plain sight. The series focuses so mainly on the surface of her life and what shes doing that her inner thoughts arent allowed to make it to the page. This maintains more than enough mystery to keep her interesting. Read Full Review

    Forces Of Geek - Lenny Schwartz Jun 14, 2019

    The art by Blanco and Petrus round out the issue well. I must confess I do enjoy Blanco more, but Petrus is a solid artist as well. It's just a personal preference. Together however, they bring home the story by Joelle Jones rather well. And I can't wait to see how it all ends. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jun 12, 2019

    This arc has been a fun return to form for the series after the overcomplicated last arc, and it's good to see Selina in her element as a thief again. But the main villain and pacing need some work. Read Full Review

    This issue mixes high-octane action sequences with some slightly smaller character moments, with mostly entertaining results. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Adam Ray Jun 13, 2019

    This may not be the ground breaking, pioneering of the comics medium that we got in the late 80s, I don't think anything could be, but Catwoman #12 is what comics these days should be. Brave enough to tell its own story, but with respect to the ongoing arc. High stakes action alongside deep prose narrative. This is masterful stuff right here. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Jun 12, 2019

    While this issue fills in a bunch of things, I think it will read way better in trade.  As just a single issue, it kind of stalls the overall story, even as it sets up some things that I am looking forward to in the future.  The art is good and besides the pacing, this is one of the better issues of this series as of late.

    Comic Watch - Amit Malaviya Jun 30, 2019

    An issue bloated with some unnecessary flashbacks and narrative choices, it's not the best issue of Catwoman, but it does set up some very important things near the end. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Jun 17, 2019

    When Catwoman #12 focused on moving the plot forward by showing us what Selina Kyle and Raina Creel were doing it was at its best. Joelle Jones has done a great job in developing them both as strong rivals. If it wasn't for the narrative choice spend half the issue with flashbacks to previous scenes from Selina Kyle's sidekick's, Carlos, perspective this issue would have been stronger. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Jessica Nilo Alves Jun 13, 2019

    An issue that reads like a Previously on Catwoman and looks like a roller coaster. Its biggest merit is summing up the entire arc until this point, something that needed to be done for how convoluted it has been until now. Read Full Review
