The secret shot-caller whoÕs been borrowing CatwomanÕs M.O. for a series of crimes steps out of the shadows in this issue, and her Òsecret originÓ is unlike anything SelinaÕs run into before! Meanwhile, the police close in on Catwoman as well, as they believe she killed a cop during one of the crimes sheÕs been framed for. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, CatwomanÕs running out of her nine lives fast!

The wedding night’s barely over, but Catwoman’s back on the streets, this time to expose a copycat who’s pulling heists around Gotham City. As Selina cracks the whip on her former criminal cohorts, she’s attracting unwanted attention from one of Gotham’s most dangerous groups. The mob? Nope. Try the GCPD. And as if the Bat-Bride didn’t have enough problems, don’t miss the debut of an all-new villain determined to make trouble for all nine of Selina’s lives. Don’t miss the start of an all-new monthly series written and illustrated by Eisner Award-nominee Joëlle Jones!

Gotham’s a toxic litter box for Selina Kyle of late, so she hits the road looking to clear the air, change her look and clear her name, too—there’s a copycat burglar swiping her M.O. who needs sorting out. In her hometown, Catwoman runs afoul of a crime boss who’s also hunting this impostor. Can the two declare a truce to hunt a mutual enemy, or will Selina end up just more roadkill?

The fight between Catwoman and Raina Creel turns personal, as the Creel goons descend on the pawn shop. Their target? CatwomanÕs right-hand man, Carlos. If your opponent has better weapons than you, it makes sense to take out the supplier. Especially when you have a new enforcer coming into town to put the hammer down.

Ten years ago, the massacre known as Fools’ Night claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Nightwing, and Commissioner Gordon…and sent Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, to prison. A decade later, Gotham has grown up-it’s put away costumed heroism and villainy as childish things. The new Gotham is cleaner, safer…and a lot less free, under the watchful eye of Mayor Harvey Dent and his Batcops. It’s into this new city that Selina Kyle returns, a changed woman…with her mind on that one last big score: the secrets hidden inside the Batcave! She doesn’t need the money-she just needs to know…who is “Orpheus”? Visionary creator Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman, Paper Girls) writes, draws, colors, and letters the story of a world without Batman, where one woman’s wounds threaten to tear apart an entire city! It’s an unmissable artistic statement that will change the way you see Gotham’s heroes and villains forever!

Presented for the first time, witness the start of CatwomanÕs first ongoing series drawn by Õ90s superstar artist Jim Balent, written by comics legends Jo Duffy and Chuck Dixon in CATWOMAN BY JIM BALENT BOOK ONE. Selina Kyle may seem like a wealthy and beautiful socialite by day, but at night she becomes the worldÕs greatest thiefÉknown as Catwoman. What starts out as a job for Gotham CityÕs newest crime boss, Bane the man who broke BatmanÕs back, ends up being the start of SelinaÕs journey to becoming more than a thief. It may even turn her into the last thing she ever thought sheÕd be--a hero. CATWOMAN BY JIM BALENT BOOK ONE collects CATWOMAN #1-13.

Raina Creel’s thugs are making a move on the pawn shop where Catwoman has set up headquarters, and if Selina can’t stop them, it could cost the lives of the allies she has working there. Luckily, none of them will go down without a fight; unluckily, Raina’s biggest bad may have more fight than any of them can handle.
