I really liked this one, but I can see a lot of people not enjoying it. The ending is a bit of a letdown if you're expecting big showdowns, a battle with a villain, comeuppance for any of the awful people. It's not focused on Selina dominating the external forces in her life, but rather coming to grips with the internal ones. It's a subtler story, but I liked it and think that the creative team did an awesome job telling it. I would not have guessed this was Myracle's first foray into writing graphic novels, and usually that sort of thing is very obvious. Well done!

TRIGGER WARNING FOR SELF HARM AND PHYSICAL ABUSE
.
I was hit hard with emotions at certain parts. Feels like a fitting modern day origin story for this anti-hero.

Nachdem mir die Panini Ink Reihe mit Superheldinnen für junge Leserinnen immer wieder begegnet ist, wollte ich jetzt selbst mal schauen, was dahintersteckt.
Die Geschichte und die Zeichnungen sind für Comic-Einsteiger und auch Leserinnen, die sich noch nicht oder kaum mit dem DC Universum beschäftigt haben sicher eine tolle Leseerfahrung.
Seline Kyle alias Catwomen, bzw. in diesem Fall Catgirl, ist definiv eine meiner liebsten weiblichen Superhedlinnen und ich mochte diese jugendliche Darstellung von ihr sehr. Leider blieb das Gesamtwerk für mich etwas flach und eindimensional, sowohl von den Zeichnungen her als auch von der Story und den Figuren.
Dennoch ein gut gestalteter Comic mit wichtigen Themen und ich denke und hoffe, dass er gerade bei jüngeren Leserinnen gut ankommt. :) Als Geschenk bestimmt eine gute Idee.

TW: self-harm
This was a cute little read. I enjoyed it and would love another book. The illustrations are amazing and I love it! The tale into how catwoman happens is definitely something in into and would love to see develop. I hope there is a second issue.

Okay so I liked this DC Ink better than Mera. The characters had more depth and were more relatable. That said, there was a fair amount of cussing and mentions of inappropriate things, which Mera did not have as much of. This one also felt a bit darker over all, maybe because of the color tone of the graphics. I thoroughly enjoyed this one though and would recommend it.

I have received this wonderful ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
First off, I don't know what happened when I first got this ARC because I couldn't see it. No matter what I did - nothing worked. Then I just kind of let it be.. simmer a bit if you think about it - THEN BAM! It worked and I could read all it's gloriousness.
Now I don't think I've read many graphic novels in my lifetime. Okay, hold up - I know that this is a fact because I think I've only read two graphic novels. Well, this would make my third one - so yay! First superhero one, which is kind of liking popping my virginity all over again (with graphic novels).
In this, you meet Selina. If you don't already know she's Catwoman - oops did I spoil something major? Her character is so freaking interesting because you get to see so many different versions of her. I really liked this book because it's her little introduction - her prequel to bad-ass-ness. However, I liked it.. but it just felt way too short and a little all over the place. I kind of kept thinking I was missing some key factors but just kind of ended up going along with everything. Again, not really used to reading GN's so maybe other people were like - heck yeah! this is awesomesauce!
ALSO, it had Bruce freaking Wayne in it and I was so freaking happy. I honestly love these two so much but Bruce definitely stole my heart even if it wasn't his book.
Other than all of that, I enjoyed reading it and I feel like I should probably stop dipping my toes into the GN pool and just full on belly flop into it.

Es un young adult con una dosis de oscuridad, pues DC, pero tranqui ya que está orientado a un público joven, los personajes principales son adolescentes y muestra otra historia alternativa del inicio de Selina como gatúbela. Más del estilo a la Selina de la serie Gotham. Me gustó.
