Things I've enjoyed like Books,People(fictional or otherwise),flavors,smells,videogames,cats,comics,toes,bulbs,and that guy who came knocking on my front door one morning asking for a pair of scissors. I said I had two, but they were of different sizes and then he kept staring at me and smiling until my breakfast crawled out of my stomach and offered itself to him on my front carpet that said 'Welcome'.

Catwoman: When in Rome (Review)

Catwoman is Smexy. That is a fact. It is also a fact that Tim Sale and the lush surroundings of the capital of Italy only add to her smexiness. There is no doubt that the art in this book is better than the writing.
Catwoman is in Rome(obviously) with our dear E. Nygma and a blonde Italian hitman for company, to meet with the head of the Italian mafia and to attempt to piece together pieces of her past. The story seems a bit convoluted, Selina is sexy as ever, with AND without the costume on, the covers are gorgeous, most of the book is narrated from her point of view, and boy, that's one of the few things that pulls this book off. Because her thoughts are dirty, dirty thoughts and almost always witty/humorous. Batman makes a few imaginary cameos in the beginning of every issue(its a collection of 6 gorgeous issues) and though it feels like there are plotholes (and there probably are) it doesn't detract MUCH from the action or the story.

So all in all, decent read, good artwork, nothing exceptional, but worth reading once or twice.
