This is an interesting story. I like the involvement of Catwoman and Batgirl. It's a nice mixture. But honestly, if it wasn't for the way that Fabian Nicieza handles his characters, this would really just seem like another 'bat-story'. You know . . Batman chases the bad-guys, there's a bit of a scuffle, it looks like Batman might loose . . then in the end Batman conquers all. Hey, if the formula works, why change it? However, with Fabian's involvement, he gets much more into the characters personalities and quirks. It's almost as if the crime and Gotham city are the backdrops for the real story . . the interaction and dialogue of the 3 main characters. And Fabian writes them all to perfection. Catwoman tells Batman, "I never saw you as the freckles type. And her skin? So . . vanilla. Have you seen her naked? I have." While Batman is off trying to round up the Russian criminals, Batgirl is trying to retrieve her father's notebook. But the Riddler has is, and he's gone to Arkham. Things never go as easily as you hope they would. All the story and character were played to perfection. However, to me, the real star of the story was Kevin Maquire's art. This guy is seriously talented . . especially when it comes to drawing sexy half-naked women. Meoww! Barbara and Selina are both hot as hell in this book. Kevin hasn't done a lot of work for DC lately, so it's really nice to see him on this series. And, we still get to enjoy one more issue of it. Fan-frikkin-tastic!
