Simonson’s reimagining switches points of view from Selina to Luke, clueing its audience in by speech bubble colors. Dodge’s shadowy black-and-white art, accentuated with well-placed bursts of color, perfectly captures the tenor of crime-laden Gotham. When Maggie’s condition takes a turn, Selina launches her own dangerous scheme to save her, bumping elbows with recognizable characters such as Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and the Joker. Both Luke and Selina harbor secret alter egos, but their chemistry-both with masks and without-is palpable. When Selina arrives in Gotham City (disguised as socialite Holly Vanderhees) she meets wealthy and enigmatic neighbor Luke Fox. Selina turns to a life of crime with the League of Assassins in order to pay the astronomical bills for Maggie’s medical treatments. In this third DC Icons book-following Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer and Marie Lu's Batman: Nightwalker-Selina is playing a desperate game of cat and mouse, forming unexpected friendships and entangling herself with Batwing by night and her devilishly handsome neighbor Luke Fox by day.An iconic character morphs from panels to prose and back to panels.īased on the 2018 Maas novel of the same name, Simonson’s graphic adaptation faithfully follows its predecessor, introducing readers to Selina Kyle, a gifted student and gymnast who has an abusive mother and a younger sister, Maggie, who has cystic fibrosis. This Catwoman is clever-she may be Batwing's undoing. He targets a new thief on the prowl who has teamed up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Meanwhile, Luke Fox wants to prove that as Batwing he has what it takes to help people.

She quickly discovers that with Batman off on a vital mission, Gotham City looks ripe for the taking. Two years after escaping Gotham City's slums, Selina Kyle returns as the mysterious and wealthy Holly Vanderhees. It's time to see how many lives this cat really has. MAAS delivers a coming-of-age Selina Kyle who will steal readers' hearts in a new, highly anticipated YA blockbuster: CATWOMAN! When the Bat's away, the Cat will play.
