if you’re at all a dc person or a catwoman fan and you like older women protagonists. PLEASE read cliff chiang’s lonely city series. I cannot stress enough how good this is and how good it is to see these characters in a context outside of “they’re twenty to thirty years old and never deal with trauma”

Catwoman: Lonely City by Cliff Chiang (covers 1-4 shown)
Ten years after Batman has died, Selina Kyle is released from prison to a new Gotham. No more capes & cowls, no supervillains, and a lot less freedom under Mayor Harvey Dent. When Kyle discovers Batman left her one final secret in the cave, she gets a crew and plans one final heist before the city falls to chaos (just like the good ol' days)
bonus: book three variant cover
I love this cover and this Ivy look so much I had to share.
(spoiler-free thoughts below...)
5/5 - Simply incredible work. A top-tier Catwoman story, up there with Selina's Big Score and the Genevieve Valentine run. The world is well thought out, the emotions of the story are well-balanced, and I especially appreciated seeing the post-criminal lives of Croc, Riddler, and Ivy. I hope Cliff Chiang gets more writing opportunities in any world, and more art opportunities in the DC world because I truly think he can do some amazing things here.

"How do we connect with other people? Specifically if we do not find speaking easy?
Is sex a cure for loneliness? And if it is, what happens if our body or our sexuality is considered deviant, or damaged? If we are ill, or unblessed wi beauty?"

loneliness soaks me in this concrete planetarium
i see the same faces all over this city
they act like they don’t see me
plagued by grey but there’s sunshine every day
ego fed vitamins, loneliness as a state of mind
all the lights in this city burn brighter than the souls inside
