Catwoman #60 - DC


First of all, look at the Adam Hughes cover. It's just brilliant. Worth the price of the book all by itself. Selina has finally gone to get Holly out of jail. She's being questioned for the killing of Black Mask. But, the film freak is also running around out there. He's loosed a giant gorilla, in homage to "King Kong". Obviously. So that's created the distraction Catwoman needed to get Holly out. But then she has to deal with the gorilla. Of course no one appreciates her involvment, or that she saved both the cops and the gorilla. And now that she's figured out that the film freak is still out there, she has to figure out what he's going to do next, and what to do about it. Will Pfiefer has done a great job with this book. The cast of characters has grown both in number, and our interest in them. We have Holly and Karon, obviously. Wildcat, Ted, who seems to be a mentor to anyone in a cat suit. Slam Bradley, whom we've all heard of, and his son, whom we think is Selina's childs father. Also David Lopez art has continued to grow. His style gets better with every issue, and it also fits this book like a glove. I collected all of the first series, but the second I got into late. Probably because I felt like no one could live up to Jim Balent's Catwoman. But, then I started looking at them, and of course the covers, and have gone back to pick them all up. I like this series as well as the first, just for different reasons. I think that this set has expanded on her character more that the first one did. And with these covers, she'll always be in my dreams.
