BONUS REVIEW by JOHN SCHAEFER
Finally, DC's new 52 delivers something that IS new, different, and interseting. This new incarnation of Selina Kyle is a fascinating example of what Judd Winick can do with a character that he's done his homework on. Over the years, we have seen Catwoman as a thief, villianess, protector, neighborhood watch, hero, sister, girlfriend, lover, and mother. Winick's take on Catwoman is wholey believable and wonderfully off kilter. Selina Kyle has given into her desires and is slightly well...nuts. There is a certain crazy factor to her character that Winick exploits wonderfully. This book almost verges on being something that the early Vertigo line might have featured.
Now add in Guillem March's erotic art style and kaboom! His intimate knowledge of women's undergarments is overwhelming to the eye. 32 titles into New 52 month and we have a winner!

COUNTER POINT BONUS REVIEW by SHANNA BERRY
When I heard they were relaunching Catwoman, I was giddy with excitement! I LOVE Selena Kyle, and we all need more Catwoman in our lives, right?
WRONG.
Maybe it's because I like to keep porn and comics separate when talking about the BIG publishers. Maybe it's because books like Batman Hush paved the way for beautiful, romantic encounters, full of lust, without resorting to smut.
In this issue we have no plot, little conflict, but tons of boobs! If you only read comics for sex and violence, this book is for you!
What should have been a relished rebirth was instead a messy miscarriage. Avoid this train wreck, buy Wonder Woman instead. Oh and Nightwing too.
Batgirl, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Batwoman, heck ANY of these books are fantastic reads with actual plot development! Go buy them instead.
