I liked this. It was an interesting look at Selina Kyle outside of Gotham and in a different setting. She's in Rome trying to find out about her parentage. She teams up with a Mafia hitman and another odd partner in crime, and everytime she turns around, one of her Gotham City foes is attacking her....
Really distinctive, unique art--beautiful, stylized, really gets the emotions, mood, and action across. The dialog is great too: snappy and clever, but not ridiculously so, and does not adhere to the usual noir cliches. And best of all, Catwoman shines. This is a book to remind one of everything ...
Vintage-ish Catwoman. Love the obsession.
Yep, got it from the public library. See my note on it: [http://gypsylibrarian.blogspot.com/2007/01/short-booknote-on-graphic-novels-9.html]
