Yet another mixed bag from Jones, although the story is rather more straightforward than we've had so far, and actually makes some progress. The artwork's mostly good, and Jones' writing skills are on display, getting inside Selina's head and providing some good material. The Year of the Villain arc intrudes on the story, and doesn't really help much, although one can't really blame Jones for that one. The weakness, at least for me, is that the main story concerns a lot of zombies going around smashing things and killing people... and I'm no fan of zombie stories. There's visibly an attempt here to make a dark, gritty, Catwoman story that keeps away from the trappings of Gotham, but if what that means is a bunch of mindless zombies getting trashed... well, it's well written, with some well-drawn fight scenes, but it doesn't do much to grab my interest, either.
