Catwoman 35: “Comfort to the Hurt of the King”

, ,

It’s my first comic book day ever. CATWOMAN #35, “Comfort to the Hurt of the King,” is in stores now! It’s been sort of a surreal process; I got the first call about the opportunity from Mark Doyle at the beginning of the year, and after I got the gig came the plotting and planning and arcs and character sketches and some historical research because why not? before I ever sat down and began my first script, and since then it’s been costume references and more plotting and more writing and sitting with my chin in my hands looking at pencils. Early reviews have been positive: Comicosity, Comic Vine, and the auspiciously named Adventures in Poor Taste all enjoyed it. (You can catch a preview of it at io9, if you’re curious!) I am obviously thrilled. I would also be lying if I said I wasn’t also a little relieved. Stepping into such an established comic with such a high-profile character has been an illuminating experience. (I was not prepared for this Comic-Con ad, for… Read more »

Catwoman #36 Cover and Interview

The cover for Catwoman 36 has been released! I missed the Mary Sue exclusive reveal last week, but am glad to see people seem to be into Jae Lee’s cover art. I’m so excited about this pared-down cover style, which we revealed in the initial announcement and I voted one million percent to carry over when it came up. I’m double excited about Selina’s deconstructed-tux uniform while she’s out of the Catsuit (I am, to no one’s surprise, deeply invested in what everyone in this comic is wearing, which we’ll get into once the comics come out). And though it’s definitely a stark image, and I can’t talk about specifics because of spoilers, I’m hypothetically invested in the symbolic Doppelganger aspect of Selina facing off against Catwoman…and possibly losing. I tried equally hard to avoid specifics in this interview with Dynamic Forces, which was a lot of fun. It includes some thoughts about how Selina plays power games with herself, what she’s willing to do for the sake of Gotham, and the phrase “sexy, sexy… Read more »

Catwoman

As of yesterday, it’s official: I’ll be writing an arc of CATWOMAN for DC Comics. (That’s her on the left, from the cover by Jae Lee that will be the first of this run, and that I will probably just blow up into a huge poster in my house, who are we kidding.) To say that I’m excited would be an understatement. Selina Kyle has been close to my heart in several of her incarnations; I’m gobsmacked to be able to write for her. I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about it at this point – I am assuming Zero, because that’s always the wisest default – but when I’m allowed to talk more about it, I definitely will. Over at io9, I answered some early questions while trying to be vague but informative, which was a hilarious balance to strike. And even if you want to stay spoiler-free, you should head over there for a glimpse of the new Selina by artist Garry Brown; what really makes that sketch for me is… Read more »
