A review by luana420
Catwoman, Volume 3: Under Pressure by Jimmy Palmiotti, Paul Gulacy, Ed Brubaker
3.0
The Brubaker stories are decent as usual but then I'm suddenly confronted with a big cross-Gotham event called War Games, of which this volumes contains thrice the seventh issue out of three "acts."
OK? I didn't sign up for that? What I could glean from it is editorial really wanted Batman starring in Death Wish 3 and also somehow it was all some dumb GIRL's fault (holy nuts who hated Stephanie Brown that much?)? Black Mask already revealed to be still alive? Screw you!
I woulda been okay with the Cooke-Gulacy art downgrade but having the actual finale of one's three-volume Catwoman read be some editor-mandated gobbledygook? Fuck off with that shit.
Somewhat salvaged by the really sweet birthday issue.
