Catwoman #4
In "Anodyne Conclusion," Catwoman faces off against a new Clayface—amnesiac, terrified, and unaware of his origins, believing himself to be a soldier subjected to cruel experiments. As he struggles with his uncontrollable transformations and the unintended consequences of his powers, Selina’s attempt to help only deepens his panic. Written by Ed Brubaker and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Darwyn Cooke—pencils and inks on the cover—this issue explores the cost of identity and the weight of unintended harm, with a tense, emotional showdown that ends with Selina calling Batman for help.
