wow. Nocenti is just an awful writer. first on Green Arrow, now Catwoman. The plots are decent but it's hard to follow her stream of consciousness writing. dialogue is forced and fake.sandival's art saves the book, along with a couple other artists who contribute.disappointing after Winick's two volumes.

This was not a good album. The art was a little all over the place, and the story was even more so. It seemed mostly like a lot of filler and a lot of focus on Batman, which was a downer. I like that already established relationship, but when there's so much focus on it, it almost gives the idea that the comic was originally made to push batman more than catwoman, which is not cool. Despite this album being a mess, I plan to buy the next album when I get the chance.

Nocenti Strikes Again!Will someone at DC please stop giving this woman important titles! I don't understand? Is she blackmailing the higher ups into letting her continue to write? How...how can she still have a job? She's been the death knell for everything she's touched lately!This was ridiculous. Instead of a coherent storyline, it was a weird mish mosh of crazy. The style of the artwork wasn't bad, but some of the panels didn't make sense. For instance, one minute she's in a van, next panel i...

Meh.

I enjoyed the Joker volume in the middle. The rest was pretty much shit.

Definitely the weakest link of the Death of the Family series.

H-o-l-y shit. This might be one of the worst comics I've ever read. Like, I read Iron Sights and The Pro, and this might be worse than both. Listen, this is all you need to know. At one point Catwoman gets about 80% of her clothes ripped off and we have big chunks of skin showing, everything except ass, vagina, and nipples because it is mainstream DC title. Okay, so whatever, superhero lose their uniforms all the time. The joker is the one who did it, so you know that crazy clown pushes people t...

0 Stars. ZEROOOO!I read this more than a year ago and let me tell you, this is still, without a doubt, the worst comic I've ever read. Fuck, my heart hurts writing that 'cause I love Selina Kyle, but the fact is this comic is a piece of GAHBAGE. This is the only time where I skimmed a graphic novel and I tried man, I did, but the storyline didn't make any sense and the dialogue was horrible, a 10 year old could write better than this woman. Forget everything about the complexity of Catwoman, for...

Eh, some of it was ok.. 2.5 stars.

What the hell did I just read? Only good parts were the Joker storyline and the last issue detailing her backstory. But I'm especially annoyed at how Selina learned to be a better thief entirely from men. Because, you know, she couldn't have learned entirely on her own.I mean, come on. Batman teaching her not to steal from poor people? She was an ORPHAN. She grew up in that environment. She already knows not to steal from poor people.I see now why Nocenti isn't well liked as a writer. Yeesh.

Oh dear. Volume 1 was so good...then Vol 2. slowed down, but kept enough good that I was still interested. Then this. Alien artifacts, yet another mysterious dark stranger Selina wants to bang, a demon from a book who becomes real, and more shallow "I like to steal stuff and party! Oh look, that dog has a poofy tail! HEHEHE! POOFY!"Even the potential long-term storyline/relationship with Batman (and the one with the GCPD guy Alvarez?) both just poof and not even really thought about. Joker shows...

Ugh, not only is the change of artwork terrible (Selina suddenly looks like a teenager) but Ann Nocenti is responsible for the dire run of Green Arrow that almost turned me off the character for good (thank fuck for the television series!). If this continues, I wonder who they'll set Nocenti to destroy next.

Finally...the end of the "Death of the Family" crossover series (for me, at least -- I don't kow if there are more books in the series out there or not). And oddly enough, i actually read this book twice. When I was sorting through my reviews, I saw that this wasn't posted, so I read the book, only to have that deja vu sense. Sure enough, I had already read it, but didn't remember it. Yes...that says a lot about this book.But first let me say that I haven't really enjoyed Catwoman since the slin...

When you’re out of beer, or whatever your drug of choice is, and just gotta lose some brain cells, DC’s got you covered: look for anything with Ann Nocenti’s name on the cover. It’ll do the job but good!You know what kind of story I want to read about a cat burglar who loves shiny objects? A demonic plot so hackneyed Scooby-Doo wouldn’t touch it with an empty snack box where Catwoman chants “rope-a-dope” like some braindead card shark. I can’t fault Nocenti entirely, she was clearly “rope-a-dope...

Ann Nocenti is on a roll! First she killed my interest in Green Arrow comics, and now she's killed my interest in Catwoman comics!Holy shit, but does this not make a lick of sense. Nocenti seems to have good ideas, but the execution is all over the shop, with story lines simply ending with no resolution or deus ex machinas popping up out of nowhere to shock and confuse. (Also, what's with Catwoman calling people "hunk" all the time? Are we back in the '90s all of a sudden?)The art is of a high s...

I have mixed feelings about this series. I am definitely liking Selina Kyle, for the most part. However, the panels are rather difficult to read in some issues, and the art quality isn't always up to par. But, when it's good, it's very good. I especially liked the art in the last issue, which features Selina's interesting backstory. I think the writing could definitely have more clarity. There is a disconnect between the action in the panels and the storyline, and it left me confused, especially...

It's disjointed, and there is some rather heavy handed dialogue as well. I was disappointed in the Death Of The Family part... there was no fall out from it, and Selina just gives up... for real... she is not even pretending so she can help Bruce or anything... Where is their friendship from the previous series? Where's the smart Catwoman who would know better than to put on a "skin" from a psycho???The art was mostly decent, and the new origin, with a hidden Russian name, may turn out to be int...

Catwoman: Death of the Family picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next six issues (Catwoman #13–18) of the 2011 on-going series with Catwoman #0 and a story from Young Romance: A New 52 Valentine's Day Special and collects eight semi-interconnecting one-issue stories.There are two main stories in this trade paperback. In "In the Zone" and "Battle in Black" (Catwoman #15–16) has Selina Kyle fighting against Escalate, a demon who can intensify and spread negative emotions.

This one was a mess. It was just all confusing. The Death in the Family tie-in was by far the worst tie-ins of the series. The Black Diamond storyline had a ton of potential, but failed to live up to any of it, and was, yes, confusing. The 0 issue was decent, but still slightly confusing. And the Requiem issue was...you guessed it, confusing. I was really disappointed because Judd Winick was really taking the Catwoman series into a new, darker direction, and then they changed writers. I have enj...
