Acquisition: for Superheroes and US Media
Date Completed: June 28, 2014
Rating: ****1/2

Purchased to give me a background on my selected super"hero," Brubaker's collection provides vignettes of Catwoman in nine iterations. For each generation she is a different character, each fraught with a number of cultural and intellectual problems. She's as complicated as I hoped, and this book was a great introduction to the comics that create her.

Date Completed: July 2, 2014

With all of my other reading and writing I don't think I'll be able to review all of these graphic novels.  It was interesting to read a whole Superman book for once, but I'll save my observations for class.
