Catwoman #80 - DC


I liked this side of Catwoman this issue. This issue just kind of showed us that even though she's not the crazy cat-thief that she used to be . . I think she actually helps people more than she hurts them now . . but, she can still be ruthless. The wrath of a woman scorned. Last issue this Repro . . or whatever he calls himself . . b-list at best . . got on the bad side of Selina when he beat the crap out of her, and then tried to kill her. He wouldn't have stood a chance but he's kind of like Jamie Maddrox, over in X-Factor. You know, he can make duplicates of himself. Well, Repro is pretty much the same except he's a young kid with no manners, and even less character. Basically, he's a wanna-be. Obviously, he's not the brains behind the operation. That would be the Thief, which Repro has now lead Catwoman to, after she faked her casualty last issue. As Selina's scoping out the operations, Thief knocks off Repro. He's just tired of his attitude and whining. Selina waits for her moment, and the she messes up the Thief. Big time! And she does it while he's on an op, so she leaves him helpless for the cops to find him. And then, just for the coup d'grat . . she blows up his apartment. "He tried to steal from Catwoman. And nobody . . Nobody . . gets away with that." I thought it was a pretty decent issue from Will Pfiefer and David Lopez. Unfortunately, next issue will be the last. I don't know if she'll come back later, or in one of the team-books . . Outsiders would be awesome . . but it's the final issue for this title. The good news is . . . she finally decides to put the Calculator in his place. It should be great.
