So, the only previous fault I found with volume 1 was that I didn't care for Darwyn Cooke's art because I felt it did not match the tone of Catwoman. This time around, a new illustrator is on board and I seriously loved every minute of it!
This volume opens with Catwoman facing off against a drug mule operation using kids that no one cares enough about to put up a fight. Heavy stuff to be sure, especially in comics, because kids forced into drug muling is a very real prob...more

This is a real gritty street level book that seems more real than most comics set in the normal DC Universe. Although Catowman is the main character, the East End is maybe the true main character. It has a soul all its own. Added to that is the remarkably fun Holly and old school cool Slam Bradley. Throw in a little sexual tension with Batman and you have a really good book. The art, mostly by Brad Rader was pitch perfect for this noir book. A very good read!
Essentially the reboot of Catwoman. Interesting, a little confusing as I didn't read the first and have been a little out of touch but nothing so confusing that you drop the book.
The art was okay but I especially loved the Black Masque introduction (because we all know where that leads) and the fact that Bruce just couldn't stop staring ;)

Catwoman is so cool! I always thought her and Batman were good together and it was hilarious when those mobsters were gossiping about them! I also liked how the author realized she was bringing back a dead character and made a joke about it in the back. Cool.
Catwoman decides to become one of the good guys ( sort of) and to protect Gotham City in her own special way.
Great art and writing takes this Batman villain and turns her into more of a 'Gentleman thief' type character. Kind of if Lupin dressed like Mrs. Peel.

Love this take on Catwoman. Thief turned vigilante of sorts. Not trying to kill people, just make her part of town right. Old-style graphics, hot outfits, a certain coolness surrounding her at all times. Very sweet!
This clearly was written just after some giant Catwoman reboot, which is kind of fine, because I don't actually know anything about Catwoman. Overall, enjoyable brain candy, in the way I wish comics to be.
It was ok. I wasn't crazy about most of the art, but I think I'm in the minority with that opinion. The stories were solid, but for some reason they just didn't appeal to me. I think a lot of people would be happy with this volume...I was just hoping for something different.
Nice little back history of catwoman and how she became who she is now. Drugs, prostitutes and thieves to cover who has been on the rise in the criminal world.
This just didn't really seem that good to me. I like Brubaker, but he can do a lot better.
The reinvention of Slam Bradley was cool. Eager to track down the first volume.
I love Bruce and Selina's interaction! :)
Much better than the first volume, including the art and layout.
I was saddened when I opened this volume and realized that Darwyn Cooke wasn't the artist like he was in the first volume. But, if I'm remembering things correctly, he left to work on "The New Frontier" which is basically the best thing ever, so he can be forgiven. Anyway, Catwoman is good, but not great, because of Cooke's departure.
Ugh. Can't stand the cover illustration nor the choice of shoes the artist put on her. (How can anybody get around SILENTLY along rooftops in clunky biker boots??? They should be rubber soft soled and sleeker.) However, it's gritty and decent story. Standard fare for the graphic novel genre.
Great story and great graphics.
