Catwoman #20

Catwoman takes the fight straight to one of Gotham's most dangerous crime lords in this 2013 New 52 chapter, with the cover tagline "A Cat in the Penguin's Nest!" setting the tone perfectly. Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona's cover depicts Catwoman seizing the Penguin by his collar, a brilliant flash of light erupting between them as he recoils in wide-eyed alarm — all sleek aggression versus old-school villainy. Written by Ann Nocenti, this is the kind of bold, confrontational setup that keeps Selina Kyle at her most compelling.
