Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

One of Batman's earliest foes--she fought the Caped Crusader in the very first issue of Batman in 1940--Catwoman has reformed into a jumpsuited vigilante who defends the defenseless in Gotham City. In the latest collection of her own comic, she and protege Holly take a road trip to raise their spirits after the dark events of the just-previous story arc. As they cross the country, they encounter other DC Comics characters, including Wildcat, Captain Cold, and Hawkman (back in Gotham, Batman puts in a cameo). Since Catwoman owes its appeal to being more a crime than a superhero comic, this ploy shouldn't work. But Brubaker keeps things low-key--Catwoman spends more time in mufti than costume--and this humanizes her costars, too. Artist Stewart matches Brubaker's tone with a style poised midway between original Catwoman artist Darwyn Cooke's animated-cartoon look and the noirish aura of Michael Lark in the Gotham Central collection, Half a Life (2005). The collaboration effectively lifts Wild Ride a notch above the rest of the Batman line. Gordon Flagg

4.0 out of 5 stars A great DCU road trip!!, May 23, 2011

Ed Brubaker and Cameron Stewart deliver another fantastic Catwoman tale. Its actually more like a Selina Kyle/Holly Robinson tale. Sure, Selina is a in costume at times but this is more of a personal story than a superhero type story. Their friendship seen through stops along a DCU road trip was great. Seeing Stewart get a chance to pencil some of the DCU heroes and villains that normally aren't found in these pages was really fun. This book was easily accessible and a pleasure from beginning to end. Really good stuff!
