Catwoman: Crooked Little Town - Part 2

[espanolbot]

This issue revolves around and is narrated by Holly Robinson, Selina's sidekick and former partner in crime. She's worried that Selina'll find out that she's a recovering heroin addict and think less of her for it, while still using her old connections to pick up leads to the cases she and Selina are working.







She heads to a club, where her experience as a homeless drug user comes into play in working out who is who. She sees a guy that she's been told is a new dealer, only to see that he's an undercover cop straight away. He then leaves the club at speed, and she decides to follow him, on the basis that he's the guy Selina asked her to look into.

Man, this art. It's just fantastic.
How is Cameron Stewart not drawing a series for DC right now?!

[espanolbot]

Well judging from his twitter he recently moved to Berlin and I think his most recent book was one of the BPRD ones. :)

As for why he didn't draw something for DC... dunno, maybe he didn't want to have to draw something "hotter, sexier, more contorted" constantly.

He's launching a creator-owned series that he's writing, drawing and self-publishing. He also recently said on Twitter that he's really sick of drawing Batman.

Damn artists with their need for variety and the ability to express themselves. If only they were forced to see stay on projects at my whim.
Seriously though I wish him the best and hope his new stuff is good. It's just a pity we only ever seem to get the good artists wanting to do their own stuff, if only the crappy ones would leave too and get off of books that I like.

I'm getting this vision of Holly and Steph teaming up for some reason.

[lieut_kettch]

Holly teaming up with another high-spirited blonde? Yes please!

On the other hand, do either of them still exist in the DCnU?

[his_spiffynesss]

Supposedly Spolier is still out there. Weren't they going to finish that story from Batgirl wher Steph went to England to go undercover in an all girls school?

[lencannon]

They already released that months ago as Batman Inc: Leviathan Strikes. It was, however, pretty firmly set in the old 52.

More of this please!!!!! Please?

[espanolbot]

More tomorrow hopefully. :)

Whatever happened to Holly, anyway? Not in this story, I mean in the new DC continuity.

[espanolbot]

After Holly was accused of Black Mask's murder (the cop investigating it managed to arrest her, and tried to charge her on the basis that if she's the original Catwoman she committed the murder and if she isn't then she knows who did) and the cop himself ended up dead, Selina paid to have her escape town and move elsewhere under a fake identity.

Holly took the opportunity to start a new life, retired from crimefighting, coming back briefly at the end of the Heart of Hush storyline to help Selina steal all of Hush's money, and then Holly retired on her portion of Elliot's millions.

So yeah, a happy ending. :)

[janegray]

Wow. I didn't think those were allowed anymore.

Snark aside, I'm glad, thanks for the info :)

The art is so beautiful. And uncontorted! (It's sad that I even have to add that last bit.)
