Catwoman #40

Catwoman #40 (April 2005) delivers one of the more viscerally energetic covers of the series, with Paul Gulacy's pencils and Jimmy Palmiotti's inks depicting Selina Kyle — in full black costume and goggles — wielding a roaring chainsaw against a massive, spike-armored brute whose clawed limbs fill the foreground as shattered glass rains around them. The tagline "INCOMING!" says everything you need to know about the momentum on display. It's the concluding chapter of "Three Piece Suit," and Scott Morse, Diego Olmos, and Palmiotti bring this three-part arc to what the cover promises will be a satisfyingly intense finish.
