james_desantis 's review for:
Catwoman, Vol. 1: The Game
by Judd Winick
Well this would be my first offical Catwoman comic review. I never read her solo stuff (Despite owning Ed brubaker's run, I know I know, I own a ton of stuff I haven't read) and heard this one was controversial.
I really like Judd Winick's writing style. It's fast paced and very fun. He gets the human moments to hit but also let's the art flow and give some great set pieces. So we have Cat doing what she does best, stealing a ton of shit. Her main mission here, to steal expensive things, goes sideways as she attacks someone she wasn't supposed to. That and a gangster gets tired of her shit and comes after her which leads to some screwed up moments for the poor thief. Oh yeah and then she steals something that has dirty cops after her and Batman even gets involved.
Good: The art is very "sexy" at times, but also really great for fight scenes. They flow and work so well I was really impressed. I thought giving Cat her own thoughts and style worked well for her. She's def not boring, not one bit, and her fun and adventurous side is great. My favorite moments are when her eyes grow wide like a cat and you can tell she is getting ready to strike. The sex scene is great too, despite people complaining about it, and shows how screwed up Bruce and Salinas's relationship is.
Bad: The death in here kind of easy to see coming. It's in most movies like this where someone steals something, pisses off the wrong guy, and then ends up suffering. I also thought the half hanging out boobs at the start was a little much.
Overall, this was a ton of fun. I really enjoyed the style, the fights, and the Cat personality. I'm hoping this series continues to be entertaining. A 3.5 out of 5 but I'll tag it with a 4 because was never bored.
