Review of 'Catwoman: Soulstealer (DC Icons Series)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Julie Newmar this isn't. Strong female character, interesting origin story, plot meandered.
I liked this take on Catwoman; I didn't like the romance with Batwing. Luke Fox is a strong character also, and the book is nearly half his story, which felt incomplete. I didn't read the comics; I needed to piece together some of the Batwing story and it felt like parts were missing.
I wanted to like the "girl power" team up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn - but I felt like it didn't work here. Batman and the Joker were played for mention only - and you don't get Quinn without the other.
This was good, and had more good than bad - but 3 stars is the highest I can go.
