| "Slash Option (Obvious): Batman/Catwoman" from Catwoman vol.4 #2 (DC, 2011) by Judd Winnick and Guillem March |
The sex scene heard 'round the world in the New52's version of Catwoman. I don't really want to talk about it again. I see Ann Nocenti is now writing the Cat. I didn't stick to her Green Arrow, but she still has some good will left over from her awesome Daredevil run, so I'm trying it. I also like to give a shot to women writing female characters. I realize I didn't like Jo Duffy's Catwoman, but I'm still very interested in women writing female protagonists and what is hopefully some kind of gender authenticity. Of course, some men can't write men, so it's not a foolproof formula, just one that you don't see enough in today's mainstream comics.
Gah!@

ReplyDeleteI cannot stand Winnick's work...all his women are sluts or downtrodden and his men are wimps or abusers.
ReplyDeleteAfter the past two runs of Catwoman this was a major, major dissapointment.
I can't argue with your assessment. How are you liking Nocenti's take so far?
ReplyDeleteIt aint so bad. I'll keep on reading it...for now.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Too early to tell.
