The rumours of Catwoman’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Sure she came pretty close when her apartment blew up. And then again when she was shipped off to a prison planet (see JLA: Salvation Run) with the rest of Earth’s super-villains — many of who aren’t big fans since they know she often straddles that fine line between hero and crook.

But you know what they say about cats and those nine lives.

Now that she’s back, she’s got some unfinished business with the person responsible for much of her misery over the past few months — a big bad known only as “the Thief” — and she’s going after him with an all-new level of feline ferousity.

Writer Will Pfeifer and artists David and Alvaro Lopez wrap up the most recent Catwoman series with a handful of tales culminating, as many might expect, with the star once again going toe-to-toe with the person she loves — and hates — the most: Batman.
