Thank you, Dom! I'm absolutely looking forward to getting my copy of this. I also bought the first DC Finest Batman and pre-ordered the second of both titles as well as some more DC Finest TPBs. And while Omnibi are still my priority, I think the DC Finest line complements them really well.
It's funny because Balent's genuinely a really talented artist, some of the backgrounds and action scenes in the book are stunning. He just can't stop being horny for more than 10 pages at a time.
This book is honestly probably the peak of Catwoman's 90s output. The Jo Duffy run is pretty cheesy but in a fun way, it really leans into Selina's being a socialite in kooky ways, and the year one mini is solid too. I'm more wary on buying the second book with Dixon's run, it's very boilerplate action by comparison, and you could slot in any of the other 5 street heroes he was writing at the time and there wouldn't be much change.
The Action Comics stories aren’t so much a back up story as they are from where it was running as Action Comics Weekly as more of a showcase style title with multi characters running rotating stories of 6 to 8 pages. Green Lantern was in every issues and it was the only place he was appearing at the time as DC wanted people to come for one of their big heroes. Every issue also had Superman but just a 2 page spread that seemed to me more like a newspaper Sunday strip.
Plan on getting myself a copy. I enjoyed Jo Duffy's work on the original marvel Star Wars comics, and I like the Catwoman character. The only thing I'm not excited for is looking at Jim Balent art.
Thank you, Dom!

I own plenty of single-issue copies of this Catwoman. It was, I'd say, the crown jewel of the bad girl craze as the 90s marched on.
Got my copy today looking forward to reading this thanks for the vid dom.
Definitely gotta pick meself up a copy.😁
already ordered one
I have all the single issues and the Jim Balent trades, but I'll still get this hoping they do the whole 90s series in collected format this time.
They already announced the next catwoman DC Finest continues from right where this left off. So, I’m hoping it collects all of it.
I'll buy it, and also i have the Mcfarlane figure to make videos of both 😂
This is the 12 year old boy’s version of “I read it for the articles”, lol.

It’s really Jim’s series. It’s not defined by the writers.
So excited for this, despite the cheesyness.
I really expect that DC collects the entire series after cancelling that TPB line after two volumes.
Picked it up for $25 I had only read the knight fall and no mans land issues of this run.

That’s a lot in one trade
I want to get this, but I also kinda just want a nice big omnibus for Catwoman xP
Today is the day I discovered there were Catwoman comics NOT drawn by Jim Balent. 🤫
This is my Catwoman. I have hated everything DC has done with Selina after Jim Balent left. Just got my copy today and I’ve preordered the next one!
Where is Omar and Melaine ? I Will Get Them
"not for the feeble minded or for those who are under 16" God damn, Dom lmao
Strange. I started reading the series back in 1993 when I was 7.
