During the year she was “missing†from the DC universe Selina Kyle changed her name and had a baby. When she resurfaced it was business as usual for the self-appointed guardian of the Gotham City district known as The East End (See Catwoman: The Replacements ISBN 1-84576-426-9). Her friend and replacement Holly was arrested when she stopped a crime involving the bizarre movie-obsessed psychopath known as the Film Freak.
Now in custody for a murder that Selina actually committed, Holly can only await rescue. Film Freak is free and recreating classic movie scenes with murderous improvisations which the original Catwoman must stop before the final curtain takes all of Gotham with it.
Also included are an extraordinary side-trip to Metropolis to burgle Lex Luthor’s science-vault, a foreboding prelude of the next story-arc and the long-awaited revelation of just who fathered her baby.
Fast-paced and frenetic, this tale (originally released as issues #59-#65 of the Catwoman comicbook) constantly delivers quality action adventure that can’t fail to delight thrill junkies who don’t mind the odd bit of wit and style with their adrenaline.
