Selina's
Big Score (OGN; w & a Darwyn Cooke). [From
DC Comics: When the relaunch of the current hit CATWOMAN series began,
Selina Kyle was already preparing to embark on her new life of fighting
crime. But what made a bad woman want to be good in the first place? And
how did Selina score enough cash to launch her new career? These questions
and more are answered in CATWOMAN: SELINA’S BIG SCORE—a 96-page
hardcover written and illustrated by Darwyn Cooke (CATWOMAN, Spider-Man:
Tangled Web). Taking place concurrently with the “Slam Bradley”
backups in DETECTIVE COMICS 759-762 (with a framing sequence set in the
present), SELINA’S BIG SCORE finds the feline fatale presumed dead,
cut off from her fortune and desperate to make a lot of money...fast.
When she hears about a mob train full of unmarked cash, Selina assembles
a crew of professional thieves to help her take it down. She needs the
money badly...but is she ready for the consequences? What follows is a
hard-boiled slice-of-crime story in the tradition of The Usual Suspects—a
story that doesn't pull punches, with twists and turns that leave readers
constantly guessing. This handsome hardcover also delivers an eye-popping
pinup section showcasing Selina/Catwoman rendered by some of the industry's
finest artists, including Mike Allred, Shane Glines, Jaime Hernandez,
Adam Hughes, Mike Mignola, Kevin Nowlan, Steranko, and Daniel Torres.]

3
Relentless (12-19 [11 is reprinted below] and story
from Catwoman Secret Files 1; w Ed Brubaker; a Cameron Stewart, Javier Pulido).
[From DC Comics: Triumph and tragedy are the name of the game in
Catwoman: Relentless. The adventures of Selina Kyle, Catwoman, suddenly
take a turn for the worse as she faces her most personally devastating moment
- and all is suddenly lost. Catwoman has crossed the deadly and ruthless
Black Mask, and now he is making her pay. Selina's loved ones begin to meet
terrible fates as she is forced to go on the offensive.] Book
of the Week 1/5/05: [I've always disliked the slutty,
hyper-sexualized Catwoman—until Ed Brubaker, Darwyn Cooke, Cameron
Smith, and company got their paws on her. Suddenly, she became an exemplary
modern heroine: sexy but not sexist, smart, strong, confident, and socially
conscious. Paul Gulacy ruined the book for me, replacing its charm with
sleaze, but this third (of a probable four) book in the pre-Gulacy Brubaker
run, Relentless, shows the book at its peak, as Selina tries to become
more involved in her hellish neighborhood, only to have the hell of the
neighborhood strike back in appalling ways. The price of her victories,
and the realistic depiction of their consequences, make the Brubaker Catwoman
one of the best books in recent years.]
4
Wild Ride (20-24; w Ed Brubaker; a Cameron Stewart, Guy Davis, Nick
Derington). [From DC Comics: After the horrifying
events in CATWOMAN: RELENTLESS, Selina and Holly look for relaxation on

See the fallout from Catwoman’s murder of Black Mask, including the horrible price she paid for vengeance and why she chose to bring a baby into the world. Plus, Selina pays a visit to Superman’s hometown, Metropolis! ]

Francis Moore; a Darick Robinson, Dave Ross, Jimmy Palmiotti).

differences lead them to destruction?]
