This is a bookend (or rather a filler?) to Loeb and Sale's The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. When Catwoman disappears partway through Dark Victory, she goes to Rome to do some "research." She is accompanied by The Riddler, and receives assistance from an Italian hitman known as The Blonde (guess why?). While there, she discovers that other DC villains may have followed along. Catwoman is also linked to the murder of a Don and gets to steal from the Vatican... which should be on every tourist's ... Read More

This book is ok and would otherwise be horrible if it wasn't for the ever beautiful artwork of Tim Sale thus making all my reviews of his books to have a minimum rating of three stars if the story is horrible like this one. Selina whose secretly Catwoman is a moody lady (very realistic) and quite dreamy. There is a reason for this as she battles her moods and dreams to uncover the truth of her past, specifically the identity of her parents.

When we last saw Catwoman at the end of Dark Victory, we had learned of the possibility that Carmine Falcone was her father. In this followup, the last of Jeph Loeb's very successful trilogy that started with The Long Halloween, we find Selina in Rome searching for the answers to this mystery. Accompanying her on this roller coaster journey is one Mr. Edward Nigma, aka The Riddler, who ably and humorously provides the fodder for Selina's many acid tongued barbs, and as we eventually find out later in the ...

Loeb is one of our greatest comic book writers,especially when it comes to Batman. He'skinda making our hero into something new, much more believable. Loeb and Sale's classic story (where their reputation rests) is the early Batman stories, like The Long Halloween, which features Catwoman quite prominently, though she does disappear. This is the story of her time gone from TLH, in Rome. We learn a lot about Selina Kyle. It seems Loeb's influence is heavily on her as well as many of the other Batman characters.

Following The Long Halloween Catwoman sojourns to Italy, and becomes entangled with the Falcone crime family.
She tries a jewel heist from the Vatican, and ends up getting into quite a bit of trouble, from many sides, and the whole Gotham City thing isn't reall that far away after all.
