Catwoman: Lonely City | Cliff Chiang

A masterpiece! This is not only a love letter to DC Comics history, but a stark reflection of our current political times. Catwoman is released from prison 10 years after the death of Batman. Can she adjust to the new world order? Can she rely on old friends? Can she save her city?
Writer/artist/colorist/letterer Cliff Chiang (of Wonder Woman and Paper Girls) makes quite the statement with this project!

One day, everybody is going to realize Batman is immortal...🦇😉💫...

At the end of WWII, the JSA find themselves of no more use to the country, and then try to return to civilian life with varying degrees of success. An obvious WATCHMEN clone, but not a bad one. My only complaints are the lack of action set pieces (until the final battle on the last pages), and the underwhelming nature of the story under the shadow of other much similar and superior books. Worth checking out if this kind of narrative works for you.

Didn't feel quite as sharp as the first volume. Definitely still heavy on the commentary, but it was less about a specific clutch of problems one might first have seen in the late 50s/early 60s and more about bigger questions, some with arguably a more modern origin: Is civilization a good idea? Is it the anthropocentric or capitalistic aspects of the current ideas of civilization which are the problem? Can urban planning and military action 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? be truly separated from racist bias? Aka how does systemic racism harm people? Let us count the ways. What are the long term effects of shifting community funding to military funding? How do we build communities that grow and adapt to change as opposed to deteriorate and gentrify? What will it take for society as a whole to recognize animal rights/workers rights?A little uncanny that there are word puns and slapstick moments in-between it all, 3w
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 but I do love that positive change in humanity on an individual level, and as a species, is still shown as a reality, rather than just a hope for the future. ⚠️animal abuse, racism, military violence 3w
