This collection of six issues of the New 52's Catwoman continues a strong initial run of the new, younger Selina Kyle. The stories run tightly together and are part of a unified whole, which I enjoy in 4 or 6 issues dosages. There are some nice twists and turns, and some big reveals.

I do appreciate that the villain, Dollhouse, isn't superpowered and is more about committing her horrendous crimes because of family-instilled insanity and greed. Who she is revealed to be and to be related to was done nicely.

It is also a positive that this younger Selina Kyle is both greedy (& can be quite sloppy in her haste) and can be extremely altruistic to those on the streets and the downtrodden. She knows who she is and where she came from, and it matters. She won't always be consistent or logical, but she is motivated, usually in the right direction when it comes to horrible wrongs.

This collection is also MORE than just about Dollhouse. The Court of Owls will make their appearance at the end of CW8 and the story of one of their Talons, along with Penguin, will be at the heart of CW9. Selina will also slowly but surely improve her relationship with Detective Alvarez, seemingly one of the only decent members of the GCPD. Others within the GCPD will continue their quest from the first collection to "recover" their "stolen" $400,000 from CW.

The one down side: New characters aren't give much personality or character. They mainly enter, do their things, and exit. So, we'll meet Spark in CW7 and he'll leave in CW12.

Thankfully, there is NOT much Batman here. This is about Catwoman!

Extras: Six pages of cover sketches by March and two pages of character designs by March and Capullo.

WOW! The new characters and villians in the book are really good. Let's just say, they don't call this volume 'Dollhouse' for no reason. Once again the art is amazing. And the writer is just really good with all the characters and plot. My only cirtisim is the ending left me wanting more... But I guess I gotta read Volume 3, then.

Catwoman Vol. 2 was really good, but I still liked volume One better. As many people have stated already, the main problem with volume 2 is the lack of really strong supporting characters. They are all interesting enough so far, but they aren't particularly memorable and they don't really have much chemistry with Catwoman. The one who has the most "chemistry" with Catwoman only has "the chemistry" because he starts fooling around with her. I've got nothing against the Cat being on the prowl, but this particular character is one of those "well it was fun while it lasted" guys.

She seems to be quite interested in him even going so far as to confide a few things about her past to him, but he just isn't that interesting or dynamic as a L.I. You will find out why this is by the end of the trade, but if you are anything like me you are going to be thinking "Then WHY did the Writer waste his time trying to build up their exploits & adventures in the first place if he was just going to do this at the end??? He could've spent his time strengthening THIS other part of the story which was MUCH more interesting and had more long-term potential as a plot-line."

Catwoman walks on the fence about many things, including how her story can delve off from a critically acclaimed prime-time HBO/Showtime show into a bad 2-Dimensional Daytime soap-opera sometimes. Now I don't mind this because it's just part of what makes Catwoman, well Catwoman. It's part of Selina's twisted charm. But I Hate Style with ZERO substance and Spark came off as all flash and no bang in some instances. He was perfectly Adequate, handsome, likeable, and charming but it kind of ends there because he is a little bit generic. Even his "Electrical MetaHuman Powers" are NOT that uncommon in the DCU.

Now Gwen Has potential, but she does something in the end that makes me completely dislike her as a character! At least for this issue. She was the difference between something that could've become interesting in later plot lines, and something that will probably just kind of muck up Catwoman's story down the road. It will make Selina Kyle's life more complicated in a way that doesn't really benefit her story and it is more day-time than prime-time. Since you see EXACTLY what Gwen does at the end of volume 2 right with your own eyes, there is no mystery. This hurts Catwoman vol. 2 because the story is supposed to have a neo-noir vibe. Detective Alvarez also has the potential to be interesting, but once again he is not utilized as well as he could be. Also, because he doesn't have much of a background story so far, you don't grow much of an attachment to him as a character. Whatever may or may not happen to him has very little impact on you as a reader. It's just more flash and less bang.

Now the reason this story STILL gets 4 stars out of 5 is because Selina Kyle is just so interesting and likeable that she can still hold the story up decently enough on her own. But DC needs to be careful because you can only ride a character's popularity for so long! The Tie-in to court of the Owls is also executed almost flawlessly and the Penguin makes for a very interesting guest star. By Far The Cross-over Event is one of the BEST things about this book demonstrating how much of an interesting character Catwoman can be when she is paired with/ against an equally dynamic character. Selina Kyle is a much better team player than people give her credit for. Sure she is a little naughty sometimes, double-crosses on occasion, and has her own agenda ALWAYS, but it is all part of what makes her sooooo interesting. You learn more about Catwoman from her interactions with others than you do by just listening to her talk to herself (which BTW she makes fun of herself for. It was A very clever and self-aware move on the writer's part.)

Overall Volume 2 is a Solid Read and an Adequate continuation of Volume One. It's nice to see that Selina is starting to grow as a character and remember that this Bad Girl Has a Good Heart. The Art for the Dollhouse sequences is completely GORGEOUS & Breathtaking, appropriately disturbing, and incredibly creepy all at the same time. I only wish there would've been more time for MORE of the Dollhouse story and less of the car stealing and petty thieving. I know Dollmaker and the Dollhouse has a link to some of the other Batman comics but Since I don't read Detective comics or the Dark Knight this is one I will simply just have to skip until I wikipedia it. That's Kind of a Bummer! But Overall, if you were pleased with volume One, you should definitely buy volume 2. It is Worth Owning if you are a true Catwoman fan. Lastly, Thank You secondary Artist for Fixing Catwoma's Hair! That Goku Look in Volume One was NOT sexy at all!!!!

Winick has crafted a character in Catwoman that I never thought I'd enjoy. I only started reading this because of Winick as I've loved most other things he has written. This series is great. I'm sad to see that he's left the series. Artwork is great in this book.

Collecting issues 7-12, the second TPB for Catwoman has her team up with a guy named Spark as they go on a stealing spree and target the Penguin! However, as fate would have it, Selina gets tossed into a position where the fowl mobster must be saved! Meanwhile, a sicko named Dollhouse is picking up hookers and hoodlums for devious purposes and Catwoman tries out the superhero gig to put a stop to her! But, can she do it or will her old ways kick in?

Once again, we have writing by Judd Winick but a more bland story this time around. The Court of Owls tie-in was one of the better ones but the heists with Spark and the Dollhouse bit was boring at times. Dollhouse didn't seem like much of a villain (although the mysterious figure was build up as quite the sicko) and you grow to hate Spark throughout the book. The heroic nature Selina builds up through the book just doesn't quite fit her and you find out she really isn't cut out for it at all. The art by Adriana Melo and, from the first book, Guillem March, look great and fit the Catwoman vibe. The book also has textless covers and black and white versions as well as a few pages worth of cover sketches in a gallery. Interesting stuff but just not quite as good as volume 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catwoman and the experience of reading GNs on the Kindle Fire
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2013
Although I love my Kindle Fire I've been very hesitant about using it to read graphic novels. Frankly I shouldn't have been! The artwork in HD quality really enhances the experience. The Kindle Fire also has a facility which allows you to view the page in its entirety whilst also highlighting and bringing to the fore the pane you are reading which I thought was really clever!

I'm generally drawn to Graphic Novels with strong female protagonist and was really happy when DC issued `The New 52' as a way of giving readers a start point when this is a market that seems, on occasion, to be impenetrable. You don't need any prior knowledge at all to come to this GN and enjoy it.

Catwoman is a skilled burglar and minor criminal who uses a good friend to fence her stolen goods and research new opportunities for scams. In this novel she is involved in stealing high-end spec cars with an accomplice and is then drawn into investigating the disappearance of a large number of prostitutes and homeless kids.

Catwoman is one of my favourites but this edition was particularly strong, great graphics, good storyline and plenty of threads to develop in the next edition. Fantastic!

3.0 out of 5 stars Leider nur noch mittelmäßig
Reviewed in Germany on April 8, 2015
Während die Ausgaben im Sammelband noch einige Momente von erstaunlichem Tiefgang und dramatischer Präzision aufwiesen, lässt Band 2 leider jegliches derartige Gespür vermissen. Die Nebenfiguren sind blass, die Dialoge und Situationen wirken wie ein blasser Abklatsch der Höhepunkte des Vorgängerbandes, und die Antagonistin ist zwar bizarr, aber komplett farb- und leblos: eine Geisterbahnfigur ohne jeglichen Tiefgang.
