Catwoman #18

In "No Easy Way Down Part Two," Catwoman #18 (2003) delivers a tense, character-driven chapter in Ed Brubaker’s acclaimed run, with Javier Pulido’s sharp pencils and inks capturing the growing friction among the core cast. As Holly wrestles with unsettling dreams and Selina remains distant, Sam and Selina go undercover to confront one of Elizabeth Craig’s suitors—only for Slam’s simmering frustration to erupt when the man crosses a line. Matt Hollingsworth’s colors and Sean Konot’s lettering deepen the mood, while Pulido’s cover art perfectly frames the issue’s emotional intensity.
