I'll admit up front that I jumped right into this one and didn't read the previous books (I blame a sweet deal and my deep love for all things Selina Kyle). So I wasn't entirely familiar with everyone in this twisty-turny story, though I caught on fairly quick.
I'll say this: Selina Kyle knows how to weave a web and pull the strings. She's a woman who gets things done, and though her motives are a little dark, her intentions are pure. But of course, everything collapses quick and she's scrambling to pick up the pieces before people get hurt.
While this makes for an interesting method of story telling, I have to admit that I got a little confused at points. There was just so much going on, so many conversations, people lying and plotting, two Catwomen prowling Gotham... it got a little too much for me to keep up.
That said, I did still like some of the twists and enjoyed the art style. I think I would have appreciated this tale more if I'd read the previous novels to gain a better understanding of the characters and the stakes.
Still, it was a great Catwoman story and a fun way to pass the time!

Solid comic book stuff, and an excellent way to wrap that knockout Mafia storyline.
I. LOVE. EIKO.

I liked Inheritance even more than Keeper of the Castle because of how the relationships evolve and are key to everything happening. It made me feel even more involved in the story. The ending feels right, not something forced to let Catwoman go back to her "normal" life.

This is probably not the best place to start for a casual Batman (and now Catwoman) reader like myself. I picked this up on a whim, and found a surprisingly mature and perhaps subdued gangster drama. The story and artwork is well crafted, and while it is nowhere near the best Batman tales, it left me curious of what happens next.

I liked this one even more than the previous volume; everything thats brewing comes together and then comes gloriously apart, in a glorious narrative explosion. the FASHION. the POSES (good! strong! holy shit louboutins!). the INTERACTIONS OF ALL THESE WOMEN IN POWER INTERSPERSED WITH HISTORICAL QUOTES FROM WOMEN IN POWER SOMETIMES SET AROUND PORTRAITS OF QUEENS.
queer and murderous and wrenching loyalties and mob families and art, literally what else do you need
UGH so good

This is not a great point of entry into this series as there are maybe 20 fictional Gotham crime families and not a ton of background explanation of how we got here with Catwoman as the new head of the Calabrese family and their conflict with Black Mask. This is a solid conclusion to a long story arch and a solid effort to ad depth to the most over sexualized character in the DC universe.
