Catwoman #1 W: Judd Winick A: Guillem March
You
know what? I'm not going to focus on any of the sexism in this book
that other people have focused on for two reasons. Firstly, I'll save it
all for Red Hood. Secondly, Winick ALMOST manages to make it enough of a
plot point that it's justifiable. Yes, we could argue about the
presentation - particularly the last panel of page 2 which is quite
frankly pornographic - but it's nowhere near the worst thing about this
book so I'm not going to dwell on it.
Winick's writing is, dare I
say it, not horrible. I was a fan of the Brubaker and Pfeifer runs on
the book though, so it's still the worst Catwoman book in modern memory.
What is wrong with this is the art.
And
the worst thing about the art isn't even the faces. It's the feet. At
least twice they're reversed where the left foot is the right foot and
vice versa (top left has a bonus knee bending the wrong way). Have some
examples:
The
worst Winicking and worst art come togther at the end. Catwoman and
Batman doing the nasty is an established trope, I guess, but this
astonishingly ineptly handled and featured a final panel which is worse
than 80% of fanart on the same topic.
Holy
Bat-Cock, Batman! My eyes need bleach. Wtf is happening with bat-torso?
And nothing has been good yet this week. FUCK YOU DIDIO.
