This collection follows on from my last read and collects Catwoman #20-24 – again written by Ed Brubaker.
After the last volume, this one has a much lighter tone – in both the story and the art. Holly and Selina go on a road trip and on the way Selina runs into trouble and some minor DC characters – sucha asWildcat, Captain Cold and Hawkman and Hawkgirl – as well as some Egyptian ninja type characters.
Not as good for me as the previous volume. Selina goes on a quest that is not at all interesting for me – maybe I would be more engaged having known some of the earlier history of Holly that I am missing but probably not. It is also disappointing in that this is that last volume of the Brubaker run to be collected, as far as I am aware, so the subplot introduced here with the mysterious religious fanatics will remain unresolved unless I go to the original comics.
This is the last of the library books that I have at the moment so it is time to return to my own collection and a break from superheroes for a while.
