Catwoman #36
In "War Games: Act 3 Part 7 Multiple Fronts," Catwoman confronts a chilling scene at the docks—twelve dead cops and Zeiss standing among them. As Black Mask rallies the Gotham underworld around the Clock Tower, claiming it’s Batman’s hidden lair, Oracle’s systems go dark and Catwoman must face Zeiss alone. With the city’s defenses crumbling and her comms silent, she’s left to wonder what’s really happening—especially when Batman spots Black Mask broadcasting live from what he insists is the Batcave. Written by Ed Brubaker and brought to life with sharp, moody art by Paul Gulacy—inked by Jimmy Palmiotti and colored by Laurie Kronenberg—this issue pulses with tension and deception. The cover by Gulacy and Palmiotti captures the moment’s grim intensity.
