This is an extremely fast-paced issue, but also somehow feels like just the calm before the storm as all the enemies Selina has made come back to haunt her in one final showdown. Read Full Review

It makes me think of the 90s run on Catwoman, where she succeeded, at the end of every arc, pulling off the heist with surprise and confidence, against impossible odds. What happened to the Catwoman who outwitted both Batman and Joker in the same book?

I am also really bothered that the continuity in this issue expressly refutes the existence of that 90s Catwoman, while enshrining her New 52 characterization which, among other things, is not compatible with the continuity we saw for Catwoman earlier in this run.
