Catwoman #56 - DC

This is of course a 1 year later book. This story starts out with Selina telling Holly that she wants her to take over for her. She's going to have a baby, which we know to be Helena. Now the protaganists are a newcomer with a Film Noir motif, and a complexion that looks like he's straight out of a black and white movie, and the Angle man. I'm not sure what this film guys beef with Catwoman is, but the Angle man wants her because he's already killed her once. We also have two detectives, Lenahan and Worth, who are on Catwomans trail, and Lenahan is particular is obsessed with finding out what's going on. Add to that Wildcat, who calls up Holly because he's going to bust up a chop shop and wants some help. We also get a quick glimpse of Slam Bradley and his dad who run Bradley investigations. Finally we end up with the film guy and Angle man breaking into Selina's house and abducting baby Helena, for what purpose we don't know yet. Will Pfeifer does a good job handling Selina's adventures, and David Lopez who fills in as artist this book, has a style that fits right in with this book. Also, you gotta love those Adam Hughes covers. I really like this series. It's not the same as it was with Jim Balent, but that's ok because it definitely has it's own style and direction.
