CAT IN A CRATE. Never cage her. Never chain her. Never try and keep her down. After the explosive events in Alleytown...the Cat wants out. But with Selina Kyle locked up while under investigation for murder, there still has to be a Catwoman on the streets of Gotham to keep the mob families behaving under the Cat's claws...it's a good thing Eiko Hasigawa has a Catwoman costume in the back of her closet that's just waiting to be put on again!
For me this issue was faultless. An empowering story which is taking the Catwoman character to new heights, the creative team have come together to create a masterpiece and that's what they have done. Read Full Review
Not even bars can keep Selina Kyle down, as ‘Catwoman' enters a whole new phase for the title character and her supporting cast putting them in a whole new dynamic. No matter the setting the series keeps its character-focused head up and presents a colorful gorgeous fun time that speaks to so many things. Read Full Review
Howard's run seems to be returning Selina firmly into the role of an antihero instead of a hero, and this issue is a good step towards cementing her as Gotham's queenpin again. Read Full Review
Catwoman #51 gives us the start of a jailbird story we can expect following those last few events. A new arc gives us new opportunities, and we can only imagine what will happen to Selina next. Read Full Review
I'm still excited to see what the future holds for this Catwoman run, but I'm not being captivated in the immediate. Read Full Review
With the initial set-up out of the way, Howard and Basri could easily develop into something more sophisticated in future issues. Having hit rock bottom, Kyle has a long way to go before she can really get a handle on where her life is going. Its an opportunity for Howard to define Catwoman from the ground up if shes willing to try. It may be a fairly shaky start, but theres no question that things could go in a fascinating direction in the issues to come. Read Full Review
After an incoherent but at least action-packed and eventful fiftieth issue, Tini Howard, joined by excellent guest artist Sami Basri, turns in a "first day back in prison" issue that takes a nap on a bed of cliches and implausibilities. Read Full Review
Catwoman #51 delivers a routine prison oriented story with no surprises and more than a few questionable choices. If you're in the mood to watch Selina sleepwalk her way to stealing commissary snacks, then this issue delivers the goods. For almost everyone else, the series makes no forward strides in bringing in new readers and offers little for longtime fans to look forward to. Read Full Review
I don't know, I just wasn't feeling this one as much as the past issues. I've been really enjoying Howard's Catwoman thus far, and this isn't to say this was really all that bad by any means, but this was the weakest issue so far. A lot of the prison stuff Selina goes through, while still fairly enjoyable, feels generic. While I did enjoy this for what it was, I hope we can get back to what made this book more entertaining sooner rather than later.
I liked this more, but... yeah, it's built on shaky ground. We'll see.
Hmm. I've greatly enjoyed Howard's run thus far, but happy as I am to see Eiko as Catwoman again, IDK if this new direction is clicking for me yet. Nothing about "antihero survives in prison" feels fresh or original, and the whole thing descends quickly into generic tropes. The issue isn't without its charm and Basri's art is good, but it never quite comes together into something compelling. A big step down for this title.
There's a lot wrong with this issue. Either Tini didn't care about how the prison system works, or just didn't care. It looks like she just wanted to write her own episode of Orange is the New Black. The cat sending her stuff through vents and her leaping 6-foot into the ceiling that wouldn't hold her weight as well as pushing stuff through the toilet. None of it would have worked. I'm miss Ram V on this title and I'm hoping we get a new writer soon.
Boring and cringey continuation of #50.
One of the most boring and pointless issues i have read so far i dont know where the writer is going at all and what is her purpose on writing this run this way i wish i knew tbh my rating is just for the art because the story is basicly nothing
