Darwyn Cooke is the artist, writer, and sometimes both for this collection of tales in a graphic novel.
The title story, Ego begins interestingly enough, but falls a bit short towards the end. Average.
Selina’s Big Score is actually the best part of this book. Well written and illustrated, the story is a team caper, very Ocean’s 11-ish, great ending too. No Bat in this, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Must-read for Catwoman fans.
The other story that stood out for me was the short one at the end, Déjà vu. It had some really amazing art and atmosphere. I was disappointed when the panels ended so soon.
The rest were okay, nothing above average or worth mentioning.
All in all, I think Darwyn Cooke’s art is cartoonish and noir, but it has a moody personality(shadowy) that is quite mature and stands out. His writing is also very good occasionally, and above average most of the time.
