Catwoman, Vol. 2: Cat International

A decent continuation of the story in the previous volume, as Catwoman continues to fight Gotham's crime families... with more costumed characters thrown into the mix this time, which reduces some of the gritty feel. There are some good moments between the fighting, with Catwoman pondering her relationship with Batman and other past and potential lovers. The art is variable, but mostly good, and there's some change of scenery as we leave Gotham for a couple of issues. On the downside, the story veers about a bit, with links to other comics not all of which I've read; some of the plotlines end up only partially resolved. It ends on a cliffhanger - or perhaps slightly after one, since there's a coda with a totally different art style at the end that's setting up the storyline for the next volume. It's an enjoyable read, with some good characterisation, but could have done with some tighter scripting... but I'm intrigued enough to want to see where this goes next.
