Catwoman Vol. 8: Crime Pays was not as good as Catwoman Vol. 7: Catwoman Dies, which was much more to my liking, but I still enjoyed it. Writer Will Pfeifer juggled a menagerie of characters, but I think there's just too much story here. It started out promising, with Catwoman having to contend with a personal disaster and a lot of undercover work. This leads her to the Calculator and eventually into the hands of a villainous cretin calling himself "The Thief," but then the whole thing...more
I should have know by the depth of the cleavage on the front cover just how shallow this comic was going to be. Sometimes a dull comic can sometimes be enlivened by the artwork but even that is pretty bland. It starts off silly but soon gets sillier. We do not need a Catwoman pov of JLA: Salvation Run. Looking at something pointless and dull from another angle just prolongs the boredom. Then we get a few issues of Catwoman in a Matrix style world that doesn't exist. You might as well have had he...more
What starts out as a compelling thief vs. thief story, with Catwoman literally going after a guy named The Thief, get hijacked by an unnamed crossover (it has something to do with the Suicide Squad) that puts Catwoman amongst a cast of super-powered villains. Her fights look small compared to them. There's an interesting super-powered wish fulfillment story toward the end, but the scene and tone shift are far too jarring. It may have made for good event comics, but much like the Amazons Attac...more
Catwoman is one of my standby heroes--I can pretty much always count on her books to be rolicking, twisty adventures. Good art, and a plot I'm looking forward to reading more of. Catwoman's apartment is burned, her costume with it, and all her money is stolen. To make matters worse, she is abruptly transported to an alien planet, along with all the other criminals of Earth. Now she has to survive amidst the worst of the worst, all while trying to get back home. I love Catwoman's shady sense...more
This was my first time reading a "Catwoman" serial and I wasn't much impressed. The book starts quite well, and I was brought up to speed fairly easily to a point where Catwoman's life is starting over again. At about the second chapter though, the comic throws a real "WTF?" and degenerates into just about everything I dislike about mainstream comics.

Read Catwoman Pays! On the plane as well. It was almost as cool as Catwoman Dies, but went shit and weird halfway through, going from interesting stories about her struggles to OH GOD SCIFI. So now I'm confused at whether I should go back and read all the Catwoman stories. Also the porn mouths and other classy cover art is annoying.
