Who is Selina Kyle? That’s the question that Father Valley has taken to the streets to find out. From her humble beginnings as an Alleytown kid to her greatest heists as Catwoman, all will be revealed. Because when Father Valley asks a question, it’s best to answer...but when he’s already quoting verses, pray that it’s not already too late for you. Proverbs, 25:2.
Father Valley has been the surprise of the past few years. Sure, the early incarnations of The Batman Who Laughs, Robin King and The Grim Knight were great. But this guy"he's on another level. Ram V obviously is a Stephen King fan as Father Valley is straight inspired from some of King's works. Buy this book for the cover alone, but buy this series! It's great! Read Full Review
This might be the perfect jumping-on point for an already-stellar Catwoman run, and I can't wait to see where things go next. Read Full Review
Catwoman #32 achieves the perfect fusion of a stand-alone/new reader-friendly type issue that also is firmly entrenched within and furthers the ongoing plot of this stellar must-read series. Not a single artistic beat is missed with a guest artist as the neo-noirish style continues and presents the reader with a variety of similar but very differently depicted vignettes set to answer the overall question posed by the issue's very title. Selina Kyle is a force of nature and this series continues to rocket her to the levels she deserves to be at within the echelon of DC Comics characters. Read Full Review
Catwoman #32 is a bold chapter in the series as it slows down the narrative pacing in favor of developing Selina and its supporting cast. Evan Cagle's art is more than welcome in the series, (which is no slight against the also extraordinarily talented Fernando Blanco) and pairs extremely well with Jordie Bellaire's diverse color choices. There's nothing I didn't like in Catwoman #32 and any complaint about the structure or lack of forward progress lies more so with reader taste than with execution from the creative team.

Fernando Blanco returns as artist next month. For one, brief moment, the art and story of Ram Vs run with Catwoman feels absolutely exquisite. Blanco does an excellent job with the character in his own style, but a glimpse at something as dynamic as issue #32 is bound to give the overall flow of action in the ongoing serial a bit of an awkward bump.

Evan Cagle uses a traditional style that is heavy on character expression and form. These detailed drawings are enhanced by Bellaire's use of color palates that change with the tone and setting of the story. This is a well crafted issue that is both engaging and visually pleasing. Read Full Review
Catwoman #32 delivers another well-paced tale that builds out its lead while also ratcheting up the intensity of the ongoing situation. Read Full Review
It's an odd issue, but one that feels like it'll be important to the character's status quo later on as all these subplots converge. Read Full Review
Who is Selina Kyle? Writer Ram V and guest artist Evan Cagle answer across varying vignettes as Selina's pursuers are treated to stories of her past. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a solid enough comic that could have been better with some stronger art. Read Full Review
For an issue about Catwoman, this actually works well, but I think we can only do it from time to time. The next issue should therefore be the grand battle we've been circling for the past few issues. V and Cagle are a formidle creative team. I've marked it down slightly as it's a very hard issue for casual readers to pick up and understand. Read Full Review
We can hope that Selina's found somewhere to regroup, but this issue largely tells us things we already knew about the character, or gives context about what to expect in later installments. There hasn't been much action or progression here, though, but that does mean that the title still has more highs to reach. Read Full Review
Ram V and guest artist Evan Cagle provide a powerful interlude issue of Catwoman, giving us exciting and moving flashbacks of Selina's history through the voices of her closest allies and family, while setting up for the brutal confrontation between Father Valley and Catwoman. Read Full Review
Catwoman has been at such a high level that this cool down issue was disappointing. This is likely just a minor detour as Ram V has delivered some compelling Catwoman stories with enough frequency that he's earned the benefit of the doubt. Read Full Review
This is the worst kind of issue of any book...one that a reader can skip entirely without any consequence. We hear some stories of Selina's past to let us know she is a badass, but the way Ram V gets to them is a joke. I have enjoyed this Catwoman series more and more each month, but this one is a stinker. Save yourself the time and money and just come back next month, where hopefully we get back to some story progression. Read Full Review
even though it takes a pause from the main story, I want to see the progress of the story but it was good, and the main story will continue from the next issue.
It was a character-driven story where Catwoman's Past was explained characters like Shoe,maggie.
Catwoman did not appear in this issue though. but does not mean it was bad.
I loved it. It's a great character-focused Issue that walks the reader down memory lane. It offers a look into what of Selina's long history Ram V is going to include. After all the care Selina has shown toward the people of Gotham, it's chilling to see a colder side of her, that she might need to survive Father Valley and Fear State.
The art worked well, had an almost dream-like quality to it that vibed well with the characters' retellings.
The only thing I missed was Ivy.
While I am not looking forward to an event interrupting the storylines Ram V has been threading together for the last months, I am almost certain he will handle it well. Maybe he'll even make me like BatCat again after King's run complete more
This issue revolved around Selina's history with her partners and friends and came off well-written. The ending and cliffhanger was amazing as it left fans on their feet.
Catwoman #32 is saving time and plot by focusing on how much of a legendary figure Selina Kyle can be. Her exploits and relationships put her in a position not unlike Batman's.
This was a pretty good issue, but I felt it was a bit disjointed. The whole concept of this issue, asking "Who is Catwoman?", just seems... pointless. What did Judas Priest learn that he didn't already know about Selina Kyle? Maybe it'll work better in the greater context of the arc, but as a standalone issue, it is just kind of confusing.
Been really liking this run under Ram V but this issue just felt like a waste of time with stories that didn't add any interesting insight to Selina's history.
For a so-so issue it offers promise for something good as the imminent showdown with Father Valley draws close. Let's hope it does and they don't blow it.
Getting worse from issue to issue.
