Catwoman Annual #1

Catwoman takes center stage on this 2013 New 52 annual, rendered in sleek black latex and brandishing her whip with cool confidence — cover artist Emanuela Lupacchino brings real attitude to Selina's stance. Looming behind her are the Penguin (top hat, monocle, and a bird perched nearby) alongside two other shadowy figures, setting a tense, underworld mood that matches the "Penguin Gangwar Starts Here!" promise splashed across the cover. Writer Ann Nocenti and artists Christian Duce and Aaron Lopresti deliver "Black Ice," an oversized story that looks to put Catwoman right at the center of Gotham's criminal power struggle.
