Catwoman: Lonely City | Cliff Chiang
2 posts | 3 read
In a world without Batman...will Selina Kyle's old wounds tear Gotham City apart? Cliff Chiang writes and illustrates the ultimate Catwoman masterpiece! Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools' Night claimed the lives of Batman, the Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon...and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up--it's put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer...and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It's into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman...with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn't need the money--she just needs to know...who is "Orpheus"? Visionary creator Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Paper Girls) writes, draws, colors, and letters the story of a world without Batman, where one woman's wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city! It's an unmissable artistic statement that will change the way you see Gotham's heroes and villains forever! This volume collects Catwoman: Lonely City #1-4.

We're living in halcyon days for Catwoman stories. Cliff Chiang's Catwoman: Lonely City is an impressive feat of cartooning (Chiang wrote, drew, colored, and lettered it all himself). The story follows an aged Selina reckoning with her past, while Gotham is moving into a future beyond Batman.

Batman is gone, Catwoman has been imprisoned for ten years, and Harvey Dent lords over Gotham.

This was an absolute delight! I adore this aged up, reflective Catwoman. The art is phenomenal and the character designs with all the nods to classic heroes (and villains) is a blast. Only four issues but it packs a resonant punch.
