Mini Reviews: Catwoman: Lonely City #4

Catwoman: Lonely City #4

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Catwoman: Lonely City #4 (DC/Black Label) – Cliff Chiang wraps up Catwoman: Lonely City with virtuosic effort as Selina, Poison Ivy, and the non-rhyming Etrigan break into the Bat-Cave to find the mysterious Orpheus with Harvey Dent and his Bat-cops on their heels. Chiang balances the messy and explosive (A magic battle between Etrigan and Clarion!) and the deeply personal with Selina struggling to shut the door on this era of her life while also kick-starting a new, less fascistic era for Gotham. I’m not a big fan of the Selina/Riddler romance, but I do love her relationship with his daughter Edie, who becomes the new Catwoman in a series of gorgeously acrobatic pages. Catwoman: Lonely City definitely has “final Catwoman story” vibes, but a heartfelt epilogue shows she still has a role to play in Gotham with Chiang using a more colorful palette to show the changes that new mayor Barbara Gordon has brought to the city. All in all, Catwoman Lonely City is a touching, action-packed story about legacy, resisting authoritarianism, and finding family in unexpected places. Overall: 8.9 Verdict: Buy

Well, there you have it, folks. The reviews we didn’t quite get a chance to write. See you next week!

Please note that with some of the above comics, Graphic Policy was provided FREE copies for review. Where we purchased the comics, you’ll see an asterisk (*). If you don’t see that, you can infer the comic was a review copy. In cases where we were provided a review copy and we also purchased the comic you’ll see two asterisks (**).

ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED BLACK LABEL SERIES EVER REACHES ITS CONCLUSION! All of the sacrifice-all of the broken bodies and shattered relationships-was leading up to this: Selina Kyle standing in front of the Batcave, desperate to know the secrets inside it, secrets once thought to have died with Batman. But you should never open doors you can’t close-if opening them means swinging wide the gates of Hell!

DC Reveals the Direct Market Exclusive Cover for Catwoman: Lonely City

Posted on by

DC Black Label’s Catwoman: Lonely City by Cliff Chiang presented the story of Selina Kyle re-entering Gotham City after a decade in prison. A Gotham City without Batman—one that’s a lot safer and a lot less free. She’s lured back into action for one last big score, but it’s about something a lot more personal than money.

The Catwoman: Lonely City hardcover collection lands on December 13, and will include a direct market exclusive hardcover, seen below, featuring Cliff Chiang’s take on the main cast of the series, including Catwoman, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Barbara Gordon!

Catwoman: Lonely City #4, the conclusion to the series, is on sale October 25th.

If Selina Kyle is going to break into the Batcave at her advanced age, she’s going to need a crew to help…and luckily for her, some of Gotham’s craftiest former villains have time on their hands and bills to pay. But who is the mysterious OGBeast? And with political pressure mounting, how long will Mayor Harvey Dent let this cat stay out of the big house?

Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools’ Night claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon…and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up-it’s put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer…and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It’s into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman…with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn’t need the money-she just needs to know…who is “Orpheus”? Visionary creator Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Paper Girls) writes, draws, colors, and letters the story of a world without Batman, where one woman’s wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city! It’s an unmissable artistic statement that will change the way you see Gotham’s heroes and villains forever!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Gunslinger #1

Wednesdays (and now Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Ant #1 (Image Comics) – A new ongoing from Erik Larsen? We’re definitely intrigued to see where he takes this classic character.

Batman #115 (DC Comics) – “Fear State” has been a solid event so far and this issue gives us a better idea of Scarecrow’s plan.

Batman Secret Files: Peacekeeper #1 (DC Comics) – Want to learn more about Peacekeeper-01? This is the issue to do so.

Catwoman: Lonely City #1 (DC Comics) – It’s been ten years since Batman and his allies died and Catwoman is just getting out of jail for the crime. It’s a very different Gotham than what she remembers.

Critical Role: Tales of Exandria #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – The popular roleplaying game group gets an all-new comic series diving deeper into the world they’ve created!

Death of Doctor Strange #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was interesting and a lot of setup for what’s to come. Here’s hoping it begins to pay off in the concept.

Maw #2 (BOOM! Studios) – A solid horror series for the spooky season.

Nita Hawes’ Nightmare Blog #1 (Image Comics) – A new tie-in series to the praised series Killadelphia. Untold evil lurks the streets of Baltimore.
