Like Selina suggests on the cover, if you want to know how her wedding to Batman went, check out Batman #50. Though, I expect if you do care, you’ve already read that issue and know, and if you haven’t then you probably don’t. Not that it matters anyway as it doesn’t really play any part in Catwoman’s new solo series!
And, as much of a fan as I am of Joelle Jones, her Catwoman #1 didn’t blow my hair back like I’d hoped. As usual with anything drawn by Jones, it looks terrific - Selina’s never looked better and, conversely, the big bad looks awesomely grotesque - also thanks in part to Laura Allred’s beautiful colours.
But there’s not much story here and what little there is isn’t grabbing me. Copycat (geddit?) Catwomen abound and Selina’s gotta… do something. Which will probably involve the monstrous villain. Hmm…
It’s only one issue so there’s plenty of time for improvement but, given how good her Dark Horse series Lady Killer was and what the character just went through, Joelle Jones’ Catwoman #1 was a disappointing and lacklustre start.
