Selina is still trapped in her fantasyland Gotham City. There she can do anything, be anything and she is no longer afraid of anything. Unfortunately it is a lie and what’s worse is that Selina knows it’s a lie. But then some lies are the most beguiling. It will take all of her cunning and strength to break free of such a world. Does she have what it takes to give up her dreams?

I have to give Will Pfeifer credit, as he certainly knows how to juggle all of the DC’s Big Events like OYL, Amazons Attack and now Salvation Run, and still maintain a tight control over this title and the character. This story isn’t the best one I’ve ever read, but the fact that he managed to make something profound out being saddled with Salvation Run makes me give Will top marks. I bet he can’t wait until this all blows over and he can go back writing his own stories again.

The art is like the writing, the very epitome of consistency.

Well, if Selina can free herself from her latest setback she still has to deal with the fact that she’s marooned on an alien planet populated by vicious killers and lunatics. But then she wouldn’t be Catwoman if she let little things like that bring her down.

Started picking this title up 2-3 issues ago and have been pretty satisfied so far. I have never read any of Will Pfeifer's work before but I have enjoyed his work on this title. It has been a solid, entertaining read every month so far. Good issue and good review

I had been hearing a lot of good word on this book, including Blair Butler's "Fresh Ink" podcast, so I thought I'd give it a chance with this issue and it was a very nice surprise. I'll definately be picking up the next couple of issues to see if I want to stay around on a much longer basis.

I've always found her really knowledgable on the topic and it's nice to see her have the space to really talk about her feelings about the books that she's reviewing. It also helps that she's moved away from the whole "buy or burn" review mentality and spends the time to explain her likes and dislikes.

I think happily surprised is a good way to define how I felt after checking this book out a couple months ago.
