Catwoman: When in Rome by Loeb & Sale
#1 in my book challenge for this year was Catwoman: When in Rome. This book disappointed, as have Loeb and Sale’s more recent efforts. This story takes place after the much superior Batman: The Long Halloween and before Batman: Dark Victory. This six-issue collection could probably have been a very strong single issue with a good editor. Over six issues the story was spread thin. Additionally, I find the wildly subtle and various affects of the Scarecrow’s influence to be annoyingly contrived.
