This was supposed to be the final issue. It has the feel of a final issue. Well . . all except for the last couple of pages. Somewhere along the line they decided to give Catwoman one more time in the lime-light . . as it where. I'm guessing it's because they wanted to establish where the relationship between her and Batman, Bruce, lies. This issue is basically about her re-estabishing her 'street-cred' after returning from Salvation Run. She runs around town pulling off a bunch of high-profile, but low reward, heists. At one point she even steals a Detective's hat off of his head. And, with most of her heists, she either throws the swag away, or dumps it in the river. But it's not really about the reward . . it's about letting people know she's back in town. She even does a job for the Calculator, but . . she ends the job on her terms, not his. But like I said, I think the reason they added one more issue is to put the new rank in place for Selina and Bruce's relationship. I have a feeling it's not going to be as 'nice' as it once was. But, we'll have to wait for next issue, the absolute final one, to see where the new boundaries lie. I've enjoyed Will Pfeifer, David Lopez and Alvaro Lopez's run on this book. I'm sad that it's coming to an end, but I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of our feline fatale. However, in the meantime we'll have one more issue to enjoy. And . . one more Adam Hughes cover to drool over. Meowww!
