I'm so happy you guys did a Catwoman best stories episode! She's my favorite comic book character, neck and neck with Batman. I couldn't resist sharing some of my favorite stories! 1. Relentless – Brubaker picks up the elements from Her Sister’s Keeper by having Selina and Maggie reunited. Only for it to go horribly wrong. When I first got into comics one of the first characters I was floored by was Black Mask (I was introduced to him by Under the Hood). One of the first things I heard about him was this story and I immediately had to check it out. It’s cold and ruthless. It’s a unique story for it being so gruesome that only Catwoman could handle it in a way Batman couldn’t. And it really drives this idea of tragedy that follows her and how she remains to carry on. Brubaker’s entire run is my favorite Catwoman thing ever, but this arc in particular, is especially good. 2. Lifelines – I have a strong affinity for the 90’s Catwoman series. It’s very cheesecake, but there’s a lot of fun in those stories. Chuck Dixon’s time on the book was great, but even right out the gate with Jo Duffy. It starts out strong with a good idea of what the rest of the series was going to be like. It shows Selina as a strong individual, who can be sexually manipulative, but also funny and charming. For the duration Jim Balent is on the book it brings out this fun energy in every writer that comes aboard. I think the first arc perfectly encapsulates that. 3. Hush – Yes, yes villains and mystery galore for this story and it’s fun. But I argue the heart and soul of the whole thing is the Batman and Catwoman story. Fundamentally Hush is story about trust where Batman re-evaluates everyone in his life as he lets Catwoman be close to him. The ending is perfect to me because it showcases how much Catwoman and Batman love each other, but there will always be a rift. In this case, it shows Batman can’t stop being a detective, he can’t be who he is and it messes up his relationships. The ending with the caption “Someday” is a perfect sentiment to end that story on. 4. I Am Suicide – Tom King’s run on Batman is my favorite run on the character. This arc is why I love it so much. The narrations alternating issue by issue between Catwoman and Batman is so devastating. I love how personal and vulnerable these characters get. It’s like it picks up from these great love stories between these two characters for the last 80 years and really hone in why they are drawn to each other. It’s so simple and human. I love it for that. It’s perfect to me. 5. Her Sister’s Keeper – The closest you get to a Year One Catwoman story. It’s intended to precede Frank Miller’s Year One story. It has a lot of strong foundations that was built for Catwoman going forward in her comic history. Establishing her sister Maggie and friendship with Ted Grant. It’s not a perfect story and has a little too much grit being a product of late 80’s/early 90’s. But there’s strong elements. I love Selina in times when she can vulnerable, even downright humiliated and only she can pick herself back up. It illustrates what I love about her.
