2022 will herald in a new creative team for DC Comics’ current solo series for Selina Kyle. Beginning with issue #39, writer Tini Howard (Excalibur) will be taking over Catwoman for a brand new story arc.
Catwoman has returned to Gotham City from Alleytown, and is back to doing what she does best: stealing from crime bosses, and looking fine while doing it. Selina Kyle goes into one of Gotham City’s most secure underground clubs in disguise to steal blackmail material… Oh, Catwoman, hiding in plain sight in five-inch platform heels at a gathering of Gotham’s crime elite while surrounded by all the beautiful women and other shiny things to look at…what could possibly go wrong?
Artwork for issue #39 comes from Nico Leon with a main cover (above) from Jeff Dékal. Variant cover artwork comes from Jenny Frison and Sozomaika.
“I don’t want to go too far into what we’re doing in the book yet,” says Howard. “Selina and I agree that there’s nothing more tantalizing than a taste. But you should know that I came in with a lot of plans. I’m building to a Catwoman-centric tale the likes that Gotham has never seen. The shape of this story, what makes it required reading for Selina Kyle’s life all became so clear to me as I worked on this. I’m standing on the shoulders of giants who told my favorite Catwoman tales like [Ed Brubaker], [Darwyn Cooke], and [Geneveive Valentine], and I’m so grateful.”
Catwoman #39 hits newsstands on January 18, 2022.
