Catwoman is after a man called the Thief. Well . . . actually he's after her. He's new in town so he's trying to make his rep, and he thinks he's going to be able to do it with her. But Selina is nothing if not spunky. So she ends up muscling her way out of the situation. Of course. But now she's on the Calculator's trail also, because he's the one that put the Thief on her. So she goes Batman on his butt to get the information that she needs. But she's also got some people watching her. She has the Thief right where she wants him. He's in the middle of a heist, all the power grids just shut off, and she's going to catch him unaware. But just as she's ready to go in . . . . she's jumped by . . . . Boomerang? Why is Boomerang after her? And then Deadshot and Count Vertigo show up on the scene. We know what's up, but she doesn't yet. She's about to be hauled off to Salvation Run. This issue's brought to us by the usual creative team of Will Pfeifer and David Lopez. At first, all those issues ago, I wasn't overly thrilled with their presentation. But, after all this time, I have to admit that they definitely give a certain flavor to the book. And . . . it's all their own. Without Jim Balent, I thought there was no way this series was going to last as long as the last. But . . . they're proving me wrong. It appears it's going to last that long, and maybe longer.
