L’ex scrittrice Marvel Tini Howard sta per prendere il controllo di Catwoman della DC e sta portando con sé un altro allievo della Marvel Comics: l’artista Nico Leon.
La Howard e Leon riprenderanno dall’attuale run di Ram V e Blanco iniziata nel 2020 e riportando Selina a Gotham dopo il suo periodo ad Alleytown, (casualmente proprio mentre Batman decide di lasciare la città).
Questa la sinossi del primo albo della nuova coppia
Catwoman has returned to Gotham City from Alleytown, and is back to doing what she does best: stealing from crime bosses, and looking fine while doing it. New ongoing series writer Tini Howard (Excalibur) makes her DC debut on Catwoman, as Selina Kyle goes into one of Gotham City’s most secure underground clubs in disguise to steal blackmail material… Oh, Catwoman, hiding in plain sight in five-inch platform heels at a gathering of Gotham’s crime elite while surrounded by all the beautiful women and other shiny things to look at…what could possibly go wrong?
L’autrice ha dichiarato: “I don’t want to go too far into what we’re doing in the book yet – Selina and I agree that there’s nothing more tantalizing than a taste – but you should know that I came in with a lot of plans,”. “I’m building to a Catwoman-centric tale the likes that Gotham has never seen. The shape of this story, what makes it required reading for Selina Kyle’s life all became so clear to me as I worked on this. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants who told my favorite Catwoman tales like [Ed Brubaker], [Darwyn Cooke], and [Geneveive Valentine], and I’m so grateful.”
Il numero 39 della testata sarà il primo vero grande lavoro dell’autrice in casa DC, dopo Shade the Changing Girl #3 del 2016 e Batman: Urban Legends #10 di dicembre.
