Again, I am not "fanboying" everything I put my hands on with DC. There are some "duds" out there among a lot of comics. Do they fall short? yes. Should you spend your money on them? That is for you to decide. But if you read my reviews to get a feel for what is going on in those comics, then your dollars finally make sense to invest in Selina's book. After watching this character grow from the 1970's, she finally has the author and artist that she has deserved for so many years! Read Full Review

Thats still hopefully a way out as this Catwoman arc has been too good to wrap anytime soon. Read Full Review

Selinas troubles seem to just be getting started, as we see a new clandestine mastermind with his own vision of what Gotham should beespecially on the part Catwoman and her allies call home. Ram V and Fernando Blanco serve us with another chapter in the ongoing saga of Catwoman, Alleytown, and saving Ivy from the horrors shes had to endure. Its packed full of story, and continues to deliver every month. Read Full Review

Catwoman continues to stand out at a time when the entirety of the Gotham line of books is at the top of their game, with a moody stylistic flare mixed with noir heist elements and realistic deep character-driven moments. Every single moment and panel is placed with deliberate intent that services the book's overall plots while also enhancing the overall plot that runs through the entire line of books. This creative team is hitting it out of the park over and over again, with no signs that they can or will be slowed down in any way. Read Full Review

Blanco uses a traditional style that is filled with detail. This is complimented by a color palate that changes with the scenes and mood shifts of the story. Bellaire's employment of red and green tones for certain scenes is eye-catching. The artwork in this issue is very transportive. Read Full Review

The Gotham line of comics could not be better right now, and 'Catwoman' is a major reason why. Ram V and Fernando Blanco give each issue the right mix of character-driven story while staying close to the wider Gotham narrative. Read Full Review

If you're not joining Catwoman on its weird, stylish journey, take this as a sign that you should fix that. Read Full Review

This is the first time in a while that we've seen Selina's status quo directly affect the Bat-line, with her back in Gotham and clashing with some major villains. In only a few issues, Ram V has given her a more interesting supporting cast than we've seen in a long time, and this is another strong issue. Read Full Review

Catwoman #31 does a great job of balancing a heist plotline and the subsequent fallout, with only a few hiccups along the way. Fernando Blanco doesn't get to flex with a double page spread this month, but his work remains excellent as ever and is only further enhanced by Jordie Bellaire's tremendous colors. Along with V's consistent scripts, this is a creative team that has clearly hit its stride and I see no warning signs of that changing any time soon. Read Full Review

I am starting to really enjoy the way Ram V is writing this, and his work overall. It is a bit of a different writing style but a lot of it works. Fernando Blanco does a great job too with the art and the book looks great. Read Full Review

There's never a dull moment, nor the time to even breathe. Catwoman #31 is the issue that shows off Selina's mastery of everything she does. By calling together her people; the dispossessed and forgotten of Gotham, her position as the greatest thief in DC Comics is unshakeable. or it was, until now… Read Full Review

Pam's a fun emotional contrast against Selina, her emotional tenderness could create an exciting balance with Selina's shrewdly pragmatic intellect. The two make for an intriguing pair. Elsewhere the ensemble that Ram V is working with seems to lack a whole lot of interest. Still, he is only beginning to set things in motion for the current story arc, so things could get a lot more engaging as the action commences over the next few months.  Read Full Review

Ramand the creative team deliver another strong story for this developing title. We are left with plot hooks of future foes, unseen dangers, and a rematch in the works to bring back the majority of subscribers. I wonder if we'll have Swamp Thing and Catwoman match up to save the soul of the Poinsonless Ivy? This is a solid four stars from me. Read Full Review

Catwoman under Ram V and Fernando Blanco continues to be one of the most solid books in the already rock-solid Batman line, with this issue delivering an excellent heist story and setting up further mysteries and confrontations with the foes who continue to amass against Selina. Read Full Review

Amazing. Ram V is doing something different with Ivy and I love it. I also love how badass Selina is. And the artist and colorist do an amazing job.

Things are getting heated! I didn't expect an in-media-res beginning and for a short moment, I was wondering if it would work. Thankfully it did! Jordie Bellaire's colors truly shine this Issue thanks to the number of colors involved. Especially the later pages featuring both Shoes/Lian and Ivy are a very refreshing look for this title, which has mostly used muted and understated colors. Blanco's rendition of Ivy is nice and some of his panel layouts just work so well, it sometimes feels like "reading a movie". Ram V continues weaving an intriguing story that he advances quite a bit in this Issue. The Magistrate is on the move but so is Father Valley and a new (maybe old?) player has emerged to help Selina. Thanks to the Wight W itch, I am also now at least a little interested in Simon Saint. The character moments are also nice. I hope Ivy will stay for a while. more

Though the Scooby-Doo-esque "let me explain to you how I did it" beginning was a little cheesy, the issue was solid and really picked up as it went along. Really happy to see the consistency between not just the Bat/Gotham books but even Swamp Thing and how things are tying together and impacting each other.

V, Blanco, and Bellaire are dependable as always in this issue that has all the charm of the third act of a heist film.
