Catwoman (2018-) #3

And so the Catwoman saga continues. All along we’ve been getting bits and pieces of the story, and while some are probably starting to make guesses about the situation at hand, we have yet to have anything confirmed. Personally, I’m really enjoying the intrigue happening in these issues, so I’ll be almost sad when everything is fully revealed.
This issue has a couple of odd revelations, one of which I’m still processing. It was interesting, but as of yet I don’t see how it’ll connect to the main plot. Sure, I have theories, but nothing concrete. That should probably bug me more than it does, but considering I’ve enjoyed most of the other elements of this plot arc, I’m willing to let it slide. At least until I see the big picture.
Also, am I the only one that adores the side characters that have been added here? They’re cute, sassy, and for the most part seen to truly care about Selena. Their family unit may function rather oddly…but I can also see it fitting Selena’s lifestyle perfectly. Potential ideal family situation for her? I hope so. Because let’s be honest here, she’s a strong, independent and capable woman, but sometimes she needs to be taken care of. It happens to the best of us (look at how often Batman needs Alfred!).
The artwork for this issue is as stunning as ever. I honestly can’t get enough of it. Actually, I have something I need to confess. I may have looked online to see if I could buy any (legit) cover prints. Can you blame me though? They’re so pretty!
