Brubaker - Catwoman

[dude-1981]

Could someone put the Ed Brubaker Catwoman books into order and say if they are connected or can be read seperately and most importantly, are they any good?

I think there's "Selina's big score" TPB that comes first. I haven't read it so I can't tell.

After that you really should read the ongoing Catwoman series (Brubaker wrote it from #1 to #30 or so I guess). I've read them all and it was all great (except the last arc maybe).

I had not herad of that one. The ones in my local library are 'Crooked little town,' Relentless,' and another that I can't thing of right now. I will look for 'Selinas Big Score.'

It goes:

The Dark End of the Street
Crooked Little Town
Relentless

Selina's Big Score is written by Darwyn Cooke and occurs chronologically before Dark End of the Street.

Anyone read em? Are they any good, and sorry to switch topics (still female DC Superheros however.) Are the first two Birds of Prey trades any good?

[Blake Petit]

I reviewed some of Brubaker's Catwoman, and for the most part, I found it pretty good. Not great, but pretty good.

I didn't read the first two BoP trades (the Chuck Dixon ones), but the current writing is great.

Yikes, it's been a few years since I last read those issues but I remember them as being quite good. But that may have been because Brubaker and Cooke were taking Catwoman in a whole new direction at the time, which was a pretty bold move in and of itself. I'm not sure how it'll hold up now that we're all semi-familiar with her in the heroine role.

But hell, they're at your library. It's free to check them out. Why are you sitting around and asking us if they're any good? :D
