The plot of Batman – One Bad Day: Catwoman #1: Catwoman chases a bauble of dubious provenance and tremendous value.
Don’t look too hard at DC’s Batman – One Bad Day: Catwoman #1; otherwise, you might ask why comics can’t be like this more often. The idea seems almost simple enough to work: Pair good writers with good artists for a single issue that doesn’t require specialized knowledge to read.
The plot of Batman – One Bad Day: Catwoman #1: Catwoman chases a bauble of dubious provenance and tremendous value.
G. Willow Wilson and Jamie McKelvie are the two principal creators responsible for Batman – One Bad Day: Catwoman #1, and the reading experience feels like a joy. Wilson writes an engaging story that rewards re-reading, and McKelvie draws the proceedings with blinding mega-wattage that lures the reader in with glamor. When he’s asked to draw Selina Kyle in a dress, he draws her with athletic thighs the size of tree trunks, which lend credence to the idea that the character is capable of especially powerful jumps. She is plausible and not wafer-thin.
Wilson leaves the reader with a fun philosophical question, the reveal of which would spoil you. In my dreams, DC would reunite the Batman – One Bad Day: Catwoman #1 team next year for another run. Maybe for a #2 in 2024?
Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman, is the greatest thief that Gotham City has ever seen. She’s effortlessly stolen countless items of immense value over the years and successfully evaded the GCPD and Batman. But when Catwoman finds out an item from her past is being sold for way more than it used to be worth, it sends Catwoman into a spiral, and she’ll do everything in her power to steal it back. Batman tries to stop her before she goes too far, and a mysterious figure known as the Forger will change Catwoman’s life forever. The all-star creative team of G. WILLOW WILSON (Poison Ivy, Ms. Marvel) and JAMIE McKELVIE (The Wicked & The Divine, Young Avengers) unite for this epic story!
