ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED BLACK LABEL SERIES EVER REACHES ITS CONCLUSION!

But you should never open doors you can't close-if opening them means swinging wide the gates of Hell!
Lonely City was a treat from start to finish and an essential take on Catwoman from a master storyteller. Read Full Review

Cliff Chiang's brilliant art does a lot of the heavy lifting here, and it's incredible to think that it's a one-man job, but unlike so many other writer-artists, he hits the writing side out of the park as well. It's impossible to tell he's not a practiced long-term writer, because he knows the characters of Gotham inside and out. The lengthy delay hurt the pacing a bit, but ultimately this book doesn't suffer at all in quality. Read Full Review

Catwoman: Lonely City #4 is a great ending to a great series. It ties together the core themes of the story in such a way that elevates everything up until now. While some of the plot lines may not have had as much time to breathe as they might have deserved, the series finishes as a wonderful character-driven story with rich dynamics and a complex look at our relationship to their world.

Not as great as the rest of the story but still a very hopeful and charming finale!
Ending felt a little rushed and didn't pack as much of an emotional punch as I was expecting based on the rest of the series. Overall, this was a fun mini. Some of the political statements Chiang seemed to be trying to make were a little on the nose at times, which I didn't love. I also really didn't like that they made Barbara a lesbian...like, where did that come from? I don't have a big problem with Ivy being fat like some people did, but since when has Barbara been into women? A bit of an odd change if you ask me.
