why do you keep reading this title then ?
NINE LIVES PART FIVE! Selina's international tour of death and rebirth continues. Her latest crime? Going deep beneath the sea to rescue a film director turned brainwashed political prisoner from a bunch of undersea ne'er-do-wells. The only problem is the director doesn't want to leave his new home, and he's harboring a secret that'll make him lethal to Selina if anyone finds out he's been taken...including the director himself. To make it through the mission with any of her nine lives intact, Catwoman will have to trick her quarry into thinking nothing out of the ordinary is happening. But will her acting skills stand up to the director's st more
Overall, "Nine Lives" is shaping up to be the creative pinnacle of this Catwoman run thus far. Read Full Review
After last month's brutal tale of Selina in a Chernobyl-like nuclear wasteland, this issue almost feels funny and chaotic at points, with her escaping and then going back for the documentary film, annoyed all the way. Read Full Review
Beautiful issue with fantastic character designs but unfortunately a pointless story. I would like to see what this new villainous alliance will bring to the book though. Read Full Review
As a longstanding reader I've been enjoying these independent stories, wondering if there was a bigger narrative at play. Catwoman #63 gives us the first inkling of a connective thread between these five issues of this mini series. The mystical element to what's been occurring across the recent issues, plus the first glimpse at a connective arc is very welcome in this ongoing story. I trust this creative team to tell any Catwoman story. Read Full Review
While an action packed issue, number 63 addresses and hints at small flaws in Catwoman's story that could very well take the series downhill. Read Full Review
This was a passable issue. Nothing special or remarkable, though it features a plot line that seems out of place for the character. I won't necessarily recommend it but I also won't advise against reading it. Certainly, there are better books on the stands this week but I'm sure there are worse as well. Read Full Review
A more fun issue for the current storyline here. I'm not against standalone stories whatsoever, but I'm glad we're finally getting something to connect these last few issues aside from Selena recently getting more lives for herself. I just hope it ends up being good. Nine Lives struggled to maintain my interest in the beginning, but these last three issues have been better. I know I've said it multiple times, but I really wish this series was back up to the quality seen in its initial storyline.
Points for art only!
Sigh, sigh. From a writing perspective, it's interesting how this run is doing more damage to Selina's character than her other infamous runs - at least prior writers were trying to tell a story about a character. This feels like just random ideas happening, but it really erodes who Selina is as a person in process. Why does she need money? Didn't she just teach a bunch of people to rob half of Gotham? It just makes no sense and really portrays Selina as a shallow, impulsive, dumb, and near-sighted character. My only hope is that eventually, as with all things, this Howard reign of terror will end.
