starkiller809's Catwoman #1 - ...And Most Of The Costumes Stay On... review

    Batman&Catwoman= SEX!

    DC Comics, The New 52 was a bold idea itself, but Judd Winick is taking the boldness to a whole new level, where most of the costume stays on.
     
    THE GOOD: 
    The art is okay. I'm not really a fan of Guillem March, but it just seems to work with Catwoman. The issue starts pretty good Catwoman's den is broken into and then it explodes. So she needs to get on and starts working, luckily she has a friend that can hook her up. I really like how even though she just lost everything she had she can just move on. I also really liked how she handled Renald. I really liked the action sequences too. 
     
    THE BAD:
    One of the most talked about thing in the New 52 is Catwoman and Batman having sex. I don't like the way this was done at all. Why do we need four whole pages of Catwoman and Batman have sex while they leave their masks on. It seems like it was done with no class. Instead of wasting four pages of sex, why not use it to build a plot because Catwoman really has none as of yet. 
     
    THE VERDICT: 3/5 (Okay)
    I really like Catwoman and I really don't like this series at all. Why would anyone wants to start a comic book series that they hope will run for years and years with her throwing herself at Batman? I'm not sure but I sure hope that it get better because I don't want to read a magazine where people expose themselves. If you want that their are PLENTY of those out their. I would stay away from this until they can get a story going.

      Catwoman bursts with sex and violence as Judd Winick lives up to his promises about his new take on Selina Kyle. This issue shows us a Catwoman who is clever, sexy and probably her own worst enemy as Selina finds herself fallen into a new hole she has to claw her way out from.The issue begins with Catwoman losing her latest apartment for the apparently usual reason, namely that she pissed someone off and they found out where she lived. You could not get a better introduction to what this Catwoma...

      I will pretty much give away all the important story points here, so if that bothers you, you maybe shouldn't read on.  First as many people already know this issue was built up on the sex factor, and really it doesn't disappoint those who want an overly sexualized Catwoman.  In terms of sex though they are too different aspects here, the gratuitous stuff, and the less gratuitous.  Most of the issue featured gratuitous imagery - Selina apartment is firebombed by unknown assailants and she escape...
