Interesting, and decent writing; I’m not really interested in this run specifically but trying to get the whole scope of the arc. The coloring is also really stunning (while the art itself kind of wobbles between fine and kind of off).

Very compelling. Love Talia. The art left something to be desired, though.

Felt a little rushed compared to the previous issues in this arc for sure. But I was excited to see more Ghost-Maker. Gotta pick up the 2022 annual.

Pretty damn solid! I enjoyed this and I’m very curious as to the direction it’s going in.

Rounded up from an average of 4.16 for the issues included. I was really worried I wouldn’t enjoy the Catwoman comics as much with another writer at the helm, but after a couple of issues, I got used to it and the writing evened out. The art’s gorgeous, too.
I really enjoyed this volume overall. Issue #42 was my favorite.

The art is stunning, and I like the ideas & the bones of the plot. The writing itself—particularly Selina’s interior dialogue—feels a little off, but hopefully that will improve. I do miss the previous writing.

Some interesting ideas, but the execution didn’t work well for me.
