Wretched narration. Crazy that this writer is being given more work, much less the GCS.

Catwoman #60

By: Tini Howard, Stefano Raffaele
Released: Dec 20, 2023

NINE LIVES PART TWO. Somewhere in one of the world's most beautiful cities, a dance to the death is taking place. The setting? An accursed theater where no matter the play in question, the stakes are life and death, with a prize worth more than its weight in gold. And at the heart of it all stalks the devilishly deviant Flamingo and his latest cost...

Was this comic that bad? It seemed pretty inoffensive to me.

ItsJess - Jan 22, 2024

It wasn't too terrible compared to her other work, but the narration, particularly on (if I recall correctly) page 1 was really awful. Combine that with the 9-ways-to-die concept and other stupid shit like being "killed" on stage in an entirely mundane manner incongruent with the idea of Flamingo's little event, then being merely deposited in an alley, and its pretty bad.

It's absolutely pathetic that DC is putting out wretched garbage like this.

Yet another issue of Leah Williams’ Power Girl with no Power in it. Seriously, the titular character is so dispirited and woeful it’s a shame to read as a longtime fan of the character. The issue is a wordy mess with way too much pages devoted to Omen in the beginning. Power Girl fans do not care about Omen, their friendship is rooted in trauma bonding and none of the characters act right for more

As if tini howard can't butcher the character even more, she decides to give Catwoman powers. Then, proving how incompetent tini howard's Selina is, she immediately dies twice. On a mission to return a fucking cat.

Mentioning valmont is an insta 2/10; combine that with everything else and it's a 0/10.

Oh and an old lady found Selina under rubble. Guess Bruce or Dick or anyone more
