Catwoman #73 - DC


The story arc that we're in now . . . basically the complete destruction of Catwoman's identity and base structure . . . is interesting. But, to me, the real fun's going to be in the next part, when we see and find out where she's going to go from here. We ended last issue with the destruction of her apartment. Selina woke up just in time, realized what was going on, and dove out the window. But I really don't think that all of that was included in Bruce's plans to help her start over. But I could be wrong . . I guess. Anyways, being the strategist that she is, she had a backup in place . . . . a locker at the bus station with everything she would need to start over. Except . . . somebody got there first and emptied it. So now, she literally has nothing except for the clothes on her back. She immediately goes to the information guru . . . the Calculator. I wonder why she didn't go to Barbara? He really doesn't have any information for her, but he does have a name, Conrad Krupp, who is a collector of "villain" paraphernalia. It's a place where she can at least get part of her identity back, with her mask. The problem is, in the process, she's pissed off the Calculator. So he ends up setting her up in a trap. Somebodies paying for the privelage, but we don't know who. But we do see her get her butt handed to her on the final pages of the issue. This is a good feel for Catwoman. I like that she's getting "back to her roots", sort to speak. She's also showing up in some of the issues of Outsiders, so any fans out there will get plenty of Selina action. And as always, you gotta love those Adam Hughes covers. Meowww!!
