I'm definitely enjoying this run, and am starting to like the character. The main draw for me starting this series is that I'm in love with Joelle Jones' art style and unfortunately that's missing for most of the volume. Fortunately she is also a talented writer and enjoyed the over arching story as well as the many side stories thrown in.
Where did Jones’s artwork go?!?
Joelle Jones delivers a great follow up tale to “Copycats” (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) in her Catwoman series!While the pacing of “Far From Gotham” is a bit slower than the first book, the story Jones crafted also sets up the reader for a tantalizing cliff-hanger of an ending that has me salivating for volume 3 already.Selina did everything she could to get away from Gotham, but that gloomy city just can’t seem to stay away from her, as she finds out when she gets a little visit f...
Pretty good second volume from Jones. I think she's doing a nice job, but it's pretty jarring in the art department when Jones takes an issue (or several) off. Her art is part of the charm of this series, and it's not the same when she isn't doing double duty. The writing is fine, although it can be a bit hard to follow at times.
Really would've preferred if Jones was still doing the art as well. The story was a bit looser and less interesting than the last volume's, too. Didn't seem to have any focus. Which is a shame, as the first volume is great, and Catwoman is one of my favourite DC characters.
This was fine. Just kind of felt by the numbers. Basically Catwoman trying to do good, even if she can go about it abit in a vicious way. Dealing with Penguin, whom I've never been a huge fan of, is okay. Basically a ton of chase scenes and fight scenes. Luckily the art is solid and it is a fun breezy read. I just wish I felt more for Catwoman herself in this run. I feel like we can benefit from seeing a deeper look into her mind right now.
This volume is a bit slower than the first but seems to be setting up some interesting story lines. There are some good character moments and I love the overall style of this book. Definitely worth the read if you enjoyed the first volume.
So I pick this up of course because of Joëlle Jones, though I really wanted to see that it was she that had done her own artwork, but nope, this is one done by committee, fairly standard, and the story is thin and filled with car chases and fights so we can see some action illustration, I guess. So Selina Kyle sets up a new life in Villa Hermosa. So? How is it really different? Catwoman is a great character and I still like her here, but I wanted more story. The chief villain here is Penguin, tr...
Not as great as the first volume but I still really enjoyed it.
Love the art style, colouring and the storyline. I enjoyed this one just slightly less than Volume 1 but it was still pretty awesome. I'm absolutely going to continue reading this series.
Not as strong as the first volume, I really miss Jones on the art as well her interiors are what really made the last volume stand out.
It was lots of fun and the artwork is amazing.
The artwork is fantastic and the collection of adventures was good.I needed something more tying it all in.I look forward to getting the next issue in the hopes that it will assuage my desires.
I feel like there are maybe six or ten pages in this book that do anything essential in advancing the story. The rest feel like filler: car chases, unnecessarily complicated thefts, and several blah side stories. The few pages drawn by Jones and the variant covers by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau are reason enough to pick this up for a quick browse though.
Catwoman: Far From Gotham picks up where the previous trade paperback left off collecting the next seven issues (Catwoman #7–13) of the 2018 on-going series with Catwoman Annual #1.Relocated to Villa Hermosa, California, Selina Kyle as Catwoman as she treads the thin line between thief and vigilante. She continues to be at odds with the Creel family in particular Raina Creel and other less antagonistic forces like Villa Hermosa Police Department. Cameo appearance and antagonist is Oswald Cobblep...
Catwoman's adventure in Villa Hermosa continues to heat up, as the arrival of the Penguin and the continued machinations of Raina Creel make an easy life extremely difficult to find. The 7 issues of the main series collected here are all one big story, despite being touted as separate things. Selina maneuvers her way around the internal politics of Villa Hermosa, while the reason she came is explored a little more, as are her new supporting cast. It does feel a little like we're spinning our whe...
Right now, the story is still fractured between what's actually going on with Catwoman and that extremely slow moving story around Raina. At the moment, it's just making the entire thing move very slowly, though I expect it'll all come together eventually.
Catwoman deals with the Penguin which leads her into going after some reliquary that does something. The book is exciting with lots of car chases and fights but it takes forever to advance the plot. I feel like the entire book could have been condensed down into two issues. The main story ends mid arc before transitioning to an annual where Selina trains some teenagers to be thieves. Fernando Blanco and a team of artists seem to have taken over for Jones. Their art is fine but nowhere as good as...
(2.5 stars)It’s moody, It’s dark, It’s cool! I’m not as mad about the art switch up as others but! I am mad about the lacklustre plots, especially as that’s what’s driving a majority of this Volume. Like Vol. 1 there’s a whole lot of wishy washy filler that is distracting to follow
I was disappointed that more of this volume wasn’t illustrated by Jones. The guest artists were fine, but Jones’ work is something else.The story was fine, but I didn’t care for it, and honestly, it’s completely forgettable. I read this a little less than a week ago and I’ve forgotten a lot of the details. Something about a relic that requires blood sacrifice and the villain being very one-dimensionally villain-y. I also didn’t care at all for the annual issue’s story of Catwoman taking in a bun...
