One of my favourite Catwoman collections to date. I truly loved the story, the banter, the fun, and the twists that came with this series. It was great to see Selina Kyle return to her roots, make some new friends, and thwart some new enemies. The writing is fun, the action is solid, and the art is fantastic. Highly recommended for Catwoman and DC fans!

Good stuff. I had my suspicions about Spark, and that legacy villain was something else.

Again, the writing is solid, but I had to dock one star because of all the boobiness. I mean, don't get me wrong. I love boobs. Who doesn't love boobs? And Selina Kyle is obviously a woman who knows how to use her boobs. But when she is out stealing things and beating up bad guys for killing prostitutes (because who else will care?), WHY IS HER SHIRT OPEN??????
Otherwise, this hits the Catwoman sweet spot for me. She's morally ambiguous but ultimately good (chaotic good, if you will). She mostly steals from gangsters and the filthy rich, and sticks up for the people of Gotham that are forgotten.

This was a really good look at how Selina manages to toe the line between good and bad and I enjoyed it a lot.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

So I was really blown away by the first volume in this series. While this held the same tempo, I didn't get all that much from it. I enjoyed it and got to see a little more of why Catwoman is the way she is — I think. We also got what I think is the beginning of the storyline of this series, and I'm looking forward to see how it spills out!
The art is still nice, and I was glad to see her working out. She's not just strong and that's that, she works for it, and I'm glad to see it

I didn't care for the art work in this volume, but the story line was fascistic. There stars because I was getting too distracted by the not so great art work. Hope volume 3 is better.

This is not a good book and I really cannot recommend it. "Dollhouse" is the second volume of the Catwoman title in DC's New 52 reboot. Unfortunately, New 52 was very uneven, especially at the beginning, and some titles really suffered. That is clearly apparent here.
The narrative jumps back and forth between the Court of Owl's storyline and the Dollhouse storyline so the book is disjointed and barely coherent. Additional confusion results from the fact that the full Court of Owl's storyline is spread across multiple Bat family titles and what is presented in this book does not make a lot of sense on its own.
The Dollhouse story line, which focuses on abductions and human taxidermy is beyond gross and nowhere near good enough to justify the ick factor.
The one vaguely redeeming factor in this book is that we begin to see Selina transform from a shallow narcissistic thrill freak to a more nuanced character with heroic potential.
