Library Read-a-thon book #10: Catwoman vol #1


After this book, I have five books left to read for my read-a-thon. I am so excited to started reading this, I have been wanting to read this for a long time (it's another book on my wish list).

I'm a huge Catwoman fan and from what I hear this is really good book. Can't wait to read it.


Book: Catwoman volume #1: Trail of the Catwoman by Darwyn Cooke and Ed Brubaker with illustrations by Darwyn Cooke, Cameron Stewart, Mike Allred, Brad Rader and Rick Burchett

Description:

CATWOMAN IS DEAD! or at least that's what she wants you to think.

For years, Selina Kyle has prowled the skyline of Gotham City as it's most famous thief, Catwoman. But now presumed dead and without any cash, Catwoman must find a way to make a quick score to set herself up in Gotham again. Learning of a train loaded with unmarked cash headed to Canada, the sultry cat burglar gathers some old friends and devises a plan. But when one of her former allies sells her out to the mob, Catwoman's simple train robbery becomes a desperate gambit for survival.

As word spreads of Catwoman's demise, Selina continues her trade cloaked in the shadows. Unable to enjoy her newfound anonymity for too long though, Selina decides that she must return to her infamous persona. Donning a new costume and attitude, Catwoman returns to the streets and sets her sight on the serial killer who has been preying upon the streetwalkers she calls friends. In this fast-paced, cinematic adventure, Catwoman learns that like anything else in life, loyalty has its price.

This volume collects in chronological order an entire Catwoman epic from multiple award-winning creators Darwyn Cooke & Ed Brubaker. Included are Cooke's original graphic novel SELINA's BIG SCORE, CATWOMAN #1-9 and the backup stories from DETECTIVE COMICS that bridge the gaps between the two stories. One of the most critically acclaimed Catwoman arcs ever produced, CATWOMAN VOLUME ONE: TRAIL OF THE CATWOMAN is simply must-read entertainment.
