Coherent and organized but not super fun—wish I knew which Batman issues I need to read to catch up on the backstory here.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review
I feel like I've waited a long time to read Joelle Jones' Catwoman story and it did not disappoint. First off, I appreciate anyone writing Catwoman that refers to [b:The Catwoman: Her Sister's Keeper|1063425|The Catwoman Her Sister's Keeper|Mindy Newell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554290016l/1063425._SY75_.jpg|1050065], which I consider key to Selina's backstory. Additionally, I think that Jones captures Selina Kyle's character perfectly. She's not the cutesy, dippy cat lady but she's not entirely the villain either. The story featuring young Selina and her sister was a spot-on interpretation of the character and I hope we see more of it in the future. I also think how Jones handles the Bat/Cat relationship, especially after Batman #50, was excellent. Selina suffering from insomnia leaves Gotham and finds herself involved in a pretty weird mob-esque type family. Looking forward to future issues!

The art was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, but the writing was very clunky and the page layouts were confusing. They often put juxtaposing scenes in side-by-side panels with two different narrations going on at the same time, but the panels jump around and it’s hard to follow the train of thought because there’s just too much going on. The story was ok, but there were a few cliches in there that didn’t feel right for the story and were a bit too on the nose.

I really enjoyed my first foray into catwoman. Catwoman is sexy, confident but sometimes flawed character. I enjoyed reading her childhood background touched on in this volume.
