Catwoman:Soulstealer is the fast-moving story of Selina Kyle's journey from juvenile delinquent to assassin to thief and antihero. Along the way she crosses paths with many other Batman-world characters, most notably Poison Ivy and Batwing. All of whom are beautifully developed characters with flaws and trauma, with secrets and betrayals galore. There's some of the usual comic-book-style silliness of secret identities and forbidden romance, but it's woven so well into the larger story that I hardly cared. The plot is pure thriller, moving fast and ramping up to city-wide chaos. And I thought the emotional impact of the last few chapters was excellent , even if it was fairly predictable how things would end up. This third in the DC Icons book is the best of them so far, as far as I'm concerned.

I loved this book. If you like SJM and DC’s Young Justice, give this a try.
