Lines are blurred as Eiko Hasigawa and Catwoman start playing too nice with one another and each lets their guard down-and in a ruthless city like Gotham, you can't trust anyone but yourself to watch your back. And Catwoman should know better than to let an old flame get into her head again...that's her job.
Selina may have had a bit of a road trip with Harley in recent months, but she hasnt had a chance to really explore what it is that shes doing. This issue allows shadows from her past to overshadow the page. Issues like #46 allow Catwoman a chance to put everything into perspective before it all gets plunged into danger in the next storyline. Howard has had one of the more satisfying runs with Selina of the past few years. Itll be interesting to see where Tini Howard ushers the story next. Read Full Review
Issue after issue, ‘Catwoman' continues to be a gorgeous, sexy, and character-rich peek into the title character's heart and mind mixed with a street-level crime story showcasing a different side of Gotham from the other Bat-line titles. Selina Kyle has been elevated to the spotlight level that she has long deserved thanks to the past few runs on this book. Anyone who is not reading this series needs to add it to their list right away. Read Full Review

Catwoman #46 gives us a rich look at Catwoman's past and her present. This issue treats us to a deep dive into how things are in her world, and the realistic growth she's sharing with the new character on the scene. The rich and realistic artwork gives us a portrait into a complex character in a down to earth story, hard to find in most other places in current comics. Read Full Review
With just a few out-of-tune notes, Howard provides a ballad for Batman, Catwoman, and Eiko, as Selina leaves Gotham once again, heading towards a deeper relationship with Valmont, with Sami Basri and unusually good craftsmanship from Howard giving this issue its best issue so far from a generally frustrating run.

Catwoman #46 is a thoughtful, yet somewhat dry reading experience as its emphasis on characterization comes at the cost of a thrilling plot. The action sequences within get the job done, but Howard wisely seems to be shifting focus away from Black Mask and his male gangster counterparts. Sami Basri's pencils are effective, but outside of Selina's big scene with Eiko, there's very little here that's truly gripping due to its simplistic villains and lack of narrative momentum.

This series continues to be intriguing, and I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Selina and Eiko here. Another one of Selina's relationships I enjoyed in this issue was with Bruce, as I thought it was handled well. The similarities between the two were done well and I liked that they were similar, yet also different. Plus, everything else here was enjoyable as well.
This issue had its ups and downs. I really like the beginning. It was good to see the purple costume again. The battle with Amygdala was okay. I did like the board meeting with Black Mask, but the relationship with Eiko doesn't really work and I don't know why she put on a Catwoman costume at the end. This issue was a bit confusing.
This is just flat-out gross. I can't believe that they let Howard blasphemize Batman and Selina's history the way its done in this issue. I can't believe that it's controversial to say that crime is bad. Stealing from Mr. Freeze is bad not because of "SHAME" (and Bruce would never, ever say that), but because Mr. Freeze is going to break out of Arkham and freeze those poor East End kids to death. And is it similarly controversial to say that a writer saying that a character is a girl boss, but showing her (a) being incessantly and irrationally emotional (really Selina? you're going to cry because your plan worked?), (b) needing to get rescued by a dorky French gigalo all the time; (3) baby-ing another grown-ass man; (4) needing constant vmore
