This feels very derivative of The Long Halloween， like Loeb tried to recreate the success of that story by essentially redoing it。 The mystery here isn't anywhere near as captivating though and the characters are pretty one dimensional with very little motivation。 Sale's art is great though。 This book looks fantastic。 This feels very derivative of The Long Halloween， like Loeb tried to recreate the success of that story by essentially redoing it。 The mystery here isn't anywhere near as captivating though and the characters are pretty one dimensional with very little motivation。 Sale's art is great though。 This book looks fantastic。 。。。more

La primera vez que leo algo en solitario de la gata， fue un regalo de cumpleaños y me ha resultado súper ligera la lectura。 Buena historia italiana con muchísimos personajes míticos， entre los que destaco a una felina que adoro， sin hacer más spoilers。

This was a fun little sequel to “The Long Halloween”First of all， the art is spectacular。 I was captivated by almost every page。 It was incredible。The plot？ I don’t want to spoil anything。 Catwoman goes to Rome。 The Riddler tags along。 Adventure ensues。 More beautiful art。The book is great if you want more content from TLH and you like Catwoman。 Essential reading？ Maybe yeah actually because it does explain more of Catwomans roles in “Year One” and “The Long Halloween” Read this if you enjoyed T This was a fun little sequel to “The Long Halloween”First of all， the art is spectacular。 I was captivated by almost every page。 It was incredible。The plot？ I don’t want to spoil anything。 Catwoman goes to Rome。 The Riddler tags along。 Adventure ensues。 More beautiful art。The book is great if you want more content from TLH and you like Catwoman。 Essential reading？ Maybe yeah actually because it does explain more of Catwomans roles in “Year One” and “The Long Halloween” Read this if you enjoyed TLH， which really should be everyone read this book。 4 star plot， 5 star art。 。。。more

Legendary。 I relate to Selina Kyle on so many levels。 I would die for her。 And the Riddler is such a silly little fashion icon。 Love him too。 Great side story to the DV + LH storyline， love how on many occasions she was like "wow can't believe bruce- I mean batman - would do this wow that's so silly how I think about the two of them at the same time he he"。 Legendary。 I relate to Selina Kyle on so many levels。 I would die for her。 And the Riddler is such a silly little fashion icon。 Love him too。 Great side story to the DV + LH storyline， love how on many occasions she was like "wow can't believe bruce- I mean batman - would do this wow that's so silly how I think about the two of them at the same time he he"。 。。。more

A great caper with some Catwoman backstory。 Good to see her out of Gotham for a change of scenery。

Jesus， Tim Sale is just amazing！The story is the same formula that we saw in Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory。 Selina goes to Italy to learn about her past， someone is after her and you'll find in the end what's really happening。 Cool to follow through， with nice dialogues and a take on Selina's origins that would worth the character。 But， man， again， what shines on the book is Tim's work and his team of colorists。 Yes， Selina， on some good amount of pages， are almost naked， w Jesus， Tim Sale is just amazing！The story is the same formula that we saw in Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory。 Selina goes to Italy to learn about her past， someone is after her and you'll find in the end what's really happening。 Cool to follow through， with nice dialogues and a take on Selina's origins that would worth the character。 But， man， again， what shines on the book is Tim's work and his team of colorists。 Yes， Selina， on some good amount of pages， are almost naked， with some hot paints and always provoking all the men in the place， but she's just gorgeous （not like his Lois Lane in Superman: Kryptonite， but still。。。） 。 And all the places， the Italy portrait， the sea， the characters， it's just amazing。It's a book for the art， trust me。 The story is fun， but the pages are gonna turn your head down。 。。。more

Buena historia para acompañar 'Victoria Oscura' y explicar qué estaba haciendo Catwoman cuando desaparece en la segunda mitad。 En sí la trama está bien， me gusta mucho el carácter de Selina y sienta bien verla por Roma intentando descubrir la verdad sobre su padre， pero es que lo de Tim Sale y Dave Stewart aquí es SENSACIONAL， LA HOSTIA， JODER。 En serio， creo que Sale nunca ha estado mejor。 Hay páginas enteras de quedarse mirando embobado diciendo: "Pero cómo alguien puede hacer esto y no forzar Buena historia para acompañar 'Victoria Oscura' y explicar qué estaba haciendo Catwoman cuando desaparece en la segunda mitad。 En sí la trama está bien， me gusta mucho el carácter de Selina y sienta bien verla por Roma intentando descubrir la verdad sobre su padre， pero es que lo de Tim Sale y Dave Stewart aquí es SENSACIONAL， LA HOSTIA， JODER。 En serio， creo que Sale nunca ha estado mejor。 Hay páginas enteras de quedarse mirando embobado diciendo: "Pero cómo alguien puede hacer esto y no forzar al resto de artistas a rendirse y soltar los lápices"。El girito me lo he visto venir， eso sí。 Tal vez fuera por venir tan reciente de las otras dos obras de Loeb y Sale， pero aquí no me ha sorprendido la gran revelación。Con esto ya tengo leído casi todo lo que quería para The Batman。 Solo me quedan un par de cositas más complementarias y ya estaría。 。。。more

I enjoyed the ink wash illustrations but the story didn't really interest me。 Catwoman's dialogue was trying too hard to be witty and despite this being sold as a mystery I didn't see a whole lot of detective work。 Catwoman does manage to be naked or exposed quite often and for no good reason， sometimes to the point of absurdity。 The Batman "scenes" were tiresome and the various twists and revelations felt contrived。Overall， I enjoyed the art， it made up for my indifference toward the plot。 I enjoyed the ink wash illustrations but the story didn't really interest me。 Catwoman's dialogue was trying too hard to be witty and despite this being sold as a mystery I didn't see a whole lot of detective work。 Catwoman does manage to be naked or exposed quite often and for no good reason， sometimes to the point of absurdity。 The Batman "scenes" were tiresome and the various twists and revelations felt contrived。Overall， I enjoyed the art， it made up for my indifference toward the plot。 。。。more

i actually enjoyed the storyline。 it's rather simple and just a "clear your head and go" plot， but still fun。 the banter between eddie and selina is a lot of fun， selina's sassy attitude and snarky comments are hilarious， the funny easter eggs to bruce being batman in her dreams， it's great。 and then the literal catfight between her and cheetah！ loved that。 though， damn。 can male writers stop sexualizing catwoman so much？ the amount of weird angles they put her in， for no reason other than to sh i actually enjoyed the storyline。 it's rather simple and just a "clear your head and go" plot， but still fun。 the banter between eddie and selina is a lot of fun， selina's sassy attitude and snarky comments are hilarious， the funny easter eggs to bruce being batman in her dreams， it's great。 and then the literal catfight between her and cheetah！ loved that。 though， damn。 can male writers stop sexualizing catwoman so much？ the amount of weird angles they put her in， for no reason other than to show her curves， is disgusting。 i can't give this more than 3 stars solely because of that 。。。more

A whole book exploring the worst plot point of Dark Victory。 I did not care for this， but I still like Sale's art style in spite of Loeb's writing。 However， in this book， Sale's art frames Selina with the same leering sexualization as the writing does and it makes the whole thing feel gross even if I like the colors。 A whole book exploring the worst plot point of Dark Victory。 I did not care for this， but I still like Sale's art style in spite of Loeb's writing。 However， in this book， Sale's art frames Selina with the same leering sexualization as the writing does and it makes the whole thing feel gross even if I like the colors。 。。。more

Uma ótima história da Mulher Gato e necessária para explicar algumas pontas soltas presentes em O Longo Dia das Bruxas e Vitória Sombria a respeito da origem da Selina Kyle。Aqui vemos a Selina viajando para Roma em busca de respostas sobre sua família， tendo como ponto de partida investigar a família Falcone。A trama é boa e a reviravolta que encontramos funciona bem em conjunto com os desenhos surpreendentes do Tim Sale。 Cada página que passamos queremos saber mais a respeito da investigação da Uma ótima história da Mulher Gato e necessária para explicar algumas pontas soltas presentes em O Longo Dia das Bruxas e Vitória Sombria a respeito da origem da Selina Kyle。Aqui vemos a Selina viajando para Roma em busca de respostas sobre sua família， tendo como ponto de partida investigar a família Falcone。A trama é boa e a reviravolta que encontramos funciona bem em conjunto com os desenhos surpreendentes do Tim Sale。 Cada página que passamos queremos saber mais a respeito da investigação da Mulher Gato apreciando os traços dos desenhos。*VALEU PELO PRESENTE BIA* 。。。more

Se lee muuy rápido。 La historia me ha gustado pero madre mía a veces no me enteraba de qué pasaba。Y con los dibujos tengo como amor-odio， a veces decía jo que bonitos y otras me pregunto ¿por qué el traje de catwoman lleva bigotes？， sigo sin entenderlo。

When in Rome is a six-issue miniseries published by DC Comics and was written by Jeph Loeb and penciled by Tim Sale。 Catwoman: When in Rome collects all six issues of the 2004 miniseries。 It accounts for the time Catwoman spent when she left Gotham City during the events of Batman: Dark Victory。It opens with Selina Kyle and Edward Nygma traveling from Gotham City to Italy。 Selina decides she needs a vacation and travels to Rome to meet up with some people she hopes will shed some light on revela When in Rome is a six-issue miniseries published by DC Comics and was written by Jeph Loeb and penciled by Tim Sale。 Catwoman: When in Rome collects all six issues of the 2004 miniseries。 It accounts for the time Catwoman spent when she left Gotham City during the events of Batman: Dark Victory。It opens with Selina Kyle and Edward Nygma traveling from Gotham City to Italy。 Selina decides she needs a vacation and travels to Rome to meet up with some people she hopes will shed some light on revelations made about Carmine Falcone's past。Jeph Loeb penned the entire miniseries。 For the most part it was written rather well。 Loeb introduces some interesting new characters， and they fit right into the world he carved out of Batman's past， as if they were always part of the Bat-Universe。 The tone of the story is very different allowing the caper and adventure becoming more dominant with the mystery taking a back seat。 There is also more humor in this series and the narrative gives a nod at events that are happening concurrently in the Batman timeline。Tim Sale penciled the entire trade paperback。 Since he was the only penciler， the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well。 For the most part， Sale's penciling was done wonderful well and took inspiration for his art from René Gruau， the French/Italian fashion illustrator。All in all， Catwoman: When in Rome is a great addition to Selina Kyle's backstory and a wonderful addition to the Batman: The Long Halloween universe。 。。。more

This was enjoyable mostly for the lighter tone and Loebs first person dialogue with Selina。 However， the over use of a lot of the standard troupes wore thin by the end。 We get it， Cat and Woman are sexy。The basis of this story was thin to begin with and this really didn't add much other than as a fun epilogue to the Long Halloween saga。 This was enjoyable mostly for the lighter tone and Loebs first person dialogue with Selina。 However， the over use of a lot of the standard troupes wore thin by the end。 We get it， Cat and Woman are sexy。The basis of this story was thin to begin with and this really didn't add much other than as a fun epilogue to the Long Halloween saga。 。。。more

More of a 3。5 to “Long Halloween”’s more solid 4 stars， but I’m a round upper。Fun side thingy to “Long Halloween”/“Dark Victory” from Loeb & Sale。 The story is a bit of an unnecessary shoehorned “What was Catwoman doing in out of the picture in “Dark Victory”？ But it was enjoyable。 And art was great with its the clear nods to 1960s Audrey Hepburn Fashion/Style。

To finish out the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Batman saga， we get 'Catwoman: When in Rome。'And to my surprise it was just alright to me。 We follow Catwoman to Rome as she partners up with the Riddler and an Italian hitman， to answer the biggest question of her life。 The story really just never got me fully invested as it felt very all over the place at times。 Loeb's Catwoman doesn't feel the same as she does in LH and DV-probably because this story is centered on her and sadly- I don't think Loeb wri To finish out the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Batman saga， we get 'Catwoman: When in Rome。'And to my surprise it was just alright to me。 We follow Catwoman to Rome as she partners up with the Riddler and an Italian hitman， to answer the biggest question of her life。 The story really just never got me fully invested as it felt very all over the place at times。 Loeb's Catwoman doesn't feel the same as she does in LH and DV-probably because this story is centered on her and sadly- I don't think Loeb writes a great Catwoman。 Its not bad by any means， it just feels very "okay lets just get it over with。" It's a 6 issue series but I feel like it need to either be shorter or longer; as at times it felt rushed and then dragged。 Tim's artwork however is still jaw dropping and the obvious highlight of the book。 Not a bad read but I also expect more with these two。 。。。more
