After reading Ram V's Future State: Catwoman story, I feel the need to catch up on the regular series. If Future State: Catwoman #2 is any indication, then I look forward to reading his work in the regular Catwoman ongoing series. Read Full Review
One of the best Future State titles, without a doubt. FS: Catwoman #2 is grand in its movements and intimate in its moments. Just a beautiful book. Read Full Review
Future State: Catwoman #2 is one of the best entries in the Future State collection by taking the best of comics storytelling and pushing it far enough into the future to feel fresh without sacrificing what makes the heroes (and villains) familiar. The art is action-packed and tight, and the story keeps you hooked from cover to cover. Read Full Review
Ram V crafts a high-octane, action packed story, that delivers. I was impressed with the easy way the two narratives merged and the quickly splintered. Though this is the last issue of the series, I was left wanting to know how the events in this tale will affect the overall history of the Resistance. Read Full Review
All in all, this is an entertaining book. I enjoyed it very much. Read Full Review
Ram V wrote Catwoman before Future State and will write it after, which means he doesn't have much to set up here. That works to his advantage, as he can just use this tie-in to tell a tight, thrilling story paired with the excellent art of Otto Schmidt. Read Full Review
Future State: Catwoman #2 signals Ram V as one of the best writers at DC right now. V's scripts are purposeful, exciting, and even a little romantic when they need to be. It doesn't hurt to have Otto Schmidt on art duties either as he turns in expressive and dynamic work on a consistent basis. Even with only two issues, V and Schmidt turn in a fully fledged story, with twists and turns, that doesn't let itself get bogged down in pages of exposition due to the changes that came with "Future State".

The end result is a story that stands on its own, but also allows readers to yearn for more as this is a version of Selina Kyle whose story could sprawl far into the future. Read Full Review
Future State: Catwoman#2 is a satisfying conclusion, albeit if you've read the Batman books the ending is a bit spoiled. That said, there's a colorful collection of characters, good fight scenes, and an important look at Batman and Catwoman's romance. This has all the attitude of La Femme Nikitaand the smokey romance of a Bond flick. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, Future State: Catwoman #2 manages to deliver a strong story that balances big high octane fights with emotional moments. External factors aside, I feel that the creative team does a great job of getting as much out of the story as possible. Read Full Review
The dramatic events have reached their dramatic end in Future State: Catwoman #2, We wonder what the fate of our heroes in this world will be, but when everything's presented this well, in a story that makes us feel what the protagonists feel, then we're compelled to want to know more.

Ram V and Otto Schmidt craft a compelling conclusion for Future State: Catwoman #2, even amidst the constraints of the two-shot format. Read Full Review
"Future State: Catwoman" #2 concludes the series just like it began: strangely paced because of its length but very fun. Read Full Review
Theyve been thrusting contemporary characters into dark futures for decades. This particular vision of Catwoman isnt terribly interesting. Its kind of fun when its not distracted by Selinas boyfriend, but it lacks enough vision to make much of an impression beyond the basic premise. Its fun, but the need to tell a compelling action story shouldnt override the need to add something to the legend of a character who has been around for the better part of a century. Read Full Review
It's stylish and largely very effective but the pacing is generally so head-spinning that it takes a little bit away from the real climax of the book: Bat and Cat reuniting. Read Full Review
This issue was great, well almost anything Ram put out there is turn out to be great.
A better version of Selina after bruce Death is shown than King, Ram's Selina wants to continue Bruce's Legacy and want to be a hero like him (while tom king turn Selina into a murderer after bruce's death)
this issue has a lot of great moment and Action Sequence Ram give every character a moment to shine whether its onomatopoeia, Cheshire cat, strays or Talia or Batman and Art were just on next level and some of the better BatCat moment I have seen in quite a long time.
The continuation from the previous issue is well-done. Loved the idea of Bruce and Selina reuniting and Talia aiding in Bruce's escape. This title reminded me of Future's End oneshots, which were really interesting.
A satisfying ending offering phenomenal art once more. Onomatopoeia added some nice comic-relief all throughout this pretty grim-looking Issue, while never feeling out of place. This Issue ties up some loose ends and establishes where Dark Detective takes place in the framework of FS. It seems as if the Future State timeline DC published isn't quite accurate, which most readers already guessed.
The characters are handled well, their actions flow seamlessly together. That's how I have felt in general when reading this mini-arc. It's seamless, both the art and the writing, but that doesn't make it boring, in the contrary.
I liked this issue. Who would've guessed that Catwoman of all things would resonate with me? But this is a fun comic and I am actually interested in seeing what Ram V does next with the title.
I'm not a fan of Ram V at all but this was one of the best Future State titles. I would rate it even higher if Schimdt's art wouldn't be so mediocre.
The first issue did fantastic job setting up the tone, main plot and a final twist. This one offers more emotion, and while of course there's a lot of action sequences here, they're not what I found the most, or even more entertaining about it. It's the main characters' personal struggles, hopes and fears, that drive this comic and make it something truly special.
Ram V did it again, scoring 2/3 successes among his Future State stories, which at first glance may not seem like a big deal, until you see how strong both Catwoman and Swamp Thing are. These are both some of the true gems that came out of this event.
-So it was more about Future State Batman than Future State Catwoman huh :/
-Onomatopoeia was pretty lame, he felt ultimately unnecessary.
-Cover is too good
This was a pretty decent number, I liked good action slow start but this was a great conclusion. Talia was the best.
7.5!
An enjoyable issue. Don't have too much to say about it other then that I'm happy that Selina gets more focus here then #1 and its good art. I also like the books ending, which I feel is a very fitting and satisfying.
this is explains a bit what happened with Bruce, I love Talia's elegance, the killer doesn't even mess up.
