Catwoman #36-37

[informationgeek]

"When she takes the job, when she accepts her birthright, she is doing it with the best intentions. She does it so that no one else does it because she figures that her intentions are better than the other people who were trying to take this job. And she is hoping to use this as a way to make crime so organized that we can get rid of the collateral damage that comes when crime families are fighting with each other and we can start using all of these shell companies to start rebuilding Gotham. She has plans where she recognizes what she is doing is morally very tricky but she is hoping to be less evil than someone else would be in this same role. In some ways, she is taking one for the team. But of course, nothing ever ends up as clean as you hope, especially not in Gotham. When bad guys come knocking at the door, she has to decide how much she is willing to pay to stay in power. That's a big question." - Genevieve Valentine

There's a lot of storylines and subplots going on in this comic, so I'm just going to have to narrow it down to a few bigger moments in the issues. Let's start with #36...
















Then from there, we go over to #37, where the Family discovers the traitor in the midst that is sneaking information out to the cops.

















There are so many moving parts to this comic and the plot is very complex that none of these posts can really show you how well-crafted and put together this comic really is. It's quite impressive and certainty better than you would expect, but it also makes it hard to really show all the small subplots and great bits of characterization and drama in this comic.

Anyways, there will be more later.

Well, it's a very different take. Interesting.

Still really can't believe DC is letting this go in favour of Tieri.
