I really enjoyed the first volume of this graphic novel. I have always liked catwoman and I like Batman and catwoman as a couple. Both the writing and the illustrations are fantastic.

This book is so good. G.W.W doing a Catwoman book? Umm. Duh. Brilliant move. Jamie's art is so good, as always. This is just great fun. The Cat, the Bat and a crime, plus a great villain and some touching moments for Selina. Win, win, Win.

I really liked Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman; I did a review of it on my dedicated comic book and pop culture podcast True Believers.

Wilson and Mckelvie are two of the greatest comics creators of the past 20 years so the chance to see the two of them collaborate is special. All their strengths are on display here, but ultimately it’s still a standard one-shot without anything terribly memorable to make it stand out from the many other Batman/Catwoman stories out there. It’s good, but a bit forgettable in the end if you’ve read a lot of Batman.

It has been years since I last read and reviewed a 'classic' superhero graphic novel (was it my 2019 review of a Green Lantern graphic novel?!) but I've been noticing an increase in Batman/Catwoman advertising and memes on social media, and it's got me interested in reading some comics or graphic novels again.

I see that there's a series of Batman books titled "One Bad Day" featuring different enemies of the Dark Knight. I'm not entirely sure why this particular book is a Batman story ... he features very little in the book and frankly his appearance was the least interesting part of the story.

Selena "Catwoman" Kyle is on the hunt for an old brooch. The item in question once belonged to her mother - a woman who struggled to live hand-to-mouth with two very young daughters in tow. Selena remembers her mother pawning the brooch - a family heirloom, one of the few items passed down through generations and came from the old country - just to try to get enough money for the rent. Now, that same brooch is being auctioned off to Gotham's rich and elite and will likely sell for millions.

The Catwoman wouldn't hesitate to steal in a normal situation and here, this brooch belongs in the family and so seems less like stealing and more like returning to the rightful owner. Selena tries to let her sister know that the brooch can be back in the family, but her sister doesn't seem interested.

During her casing of the venue, Selena meets an older woman who happens to know the history of the brooch as well as a few things that will come as a surprise and will have Catwoman seek her out. This is when Batman will appear, asking Catwoman nicely to not approach the woman because he's been watching her and building a case against her and doesn't want her getting spooked and disappearing. But Catwoman will do what she wants to.

I was invested in the story and, as mentioned, cared less for Batman's involvement. The book does 'end' with more questions than answers so it's clear to me that there will a second volume. This is a tad disappointing because this Volume 1 is a mere 64 pages. If this were doubled we're still on the short end of a page count for a typical graphic novel.

Although I grew up reading comics, I haven't been a regular comic book or graphic novel reader, so I don't know the history of all the characters. Coming from this background, I really appreciated the snapshot background for Selena. it's amazing how this little bit helps explain some of her current self.

There's a bit of romance between Catwoman & Batman and this is part of what I've been noticing lately. It isn't explained and this is something I feel needs a little context for those of us not in the know.

The artwork is generally fine. This is not a book I'd pick up based on the artwork, but I didn't find it distracting (which happens) or bad (which also happens).

The immediate story of the brooch and its history and what happens to it is a self-contained story here (which explains the relatively short page count) but as a graphic novel reader I do wish this was filled with more story. Do they call a short graphic novel a a graphic novella?

Looking for a good book? Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman #1 is a short graphic novel that reads well, offers some good character history, doesn't actually feature Batman (not sure why it's a bad day) much, and offers plenty of unanswered questions to keep a reader interested.

I receive a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

This is an excellent collaboration between G. Willow Wilson and Jamie McKelvie.

Selina Kyle has her eyes on a priceless brooch. This time, there are personal reasons for doing so, What happens next is unexpected.

Wilson is at her best here, exploring contemporary social issues through comic book adventures, as she has done so well Ms. Marvel, Poison Ivy and Invisible Kingdom. She also manages to develop the character of Selena Kyle significantly within just 64 pages.

McKelvie’s Pop-Art-style graphics are as vivid and unique as ever.

I would definitely love to see more of this collaboration.

Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman is an interesting story about Catwoman's past. If you are a fan of the Catwoman comic book series, then I recommend reading this story. Batman makes a cameo appearance that adds to the story. This book is part of the Batman: One Bad Day series. I recommend reading all the books in the series because they are all interesting stories that Batman fans will enjoy.

"Batman - One Bad Day: Catwoman", also titled “No Small Scores”, is a near perfect tale of the felonious feline that suffers slightly from being shoehorned into a particular format but should still delight most readers. The fast pace, thought provoking dialogue and striking artwork of this book clearly set it apart from similar works.

G. Willow Wilson, as her work on Ms. Marvel” shows, is a writer well versed in creating complex, believable female protagonists. This is clearly evident in this book. Selina comes across as strong, intelligent and independent from the start and G. Willow Wilson ensures that her voice is heard throughout the book.

The strongest feature of this book is Selina’s internal dialogue as she plots and plans to steal a valuable brooch of historical importance that once belonged to her mother. Selina proves to be a complex and nuanced individual with deep intellectual capabilities and firm distaste for the abuse of power.

Throughout the story Selina’s story is strengthened and enhanced by Jaimie McKelvie’s thoughtful and nuanced artwork. He succeeds where many other artists have failed and portrays Selina as glamorous and sexy, without ever oversexualizing the character. More importantly, Jaimie McKelvie telegraphs Selina’s mental and emotional state directly through the artwork. This is particularly notable in one of the first panels where Selina seems to break the first wall and reach out directly to the reader with a single glance.

There are a few elements of this book concerning supporting characters that feel a little rough. First the villain introduced in this book has a lot of promise, especially since Selina cannot figure out if they should really be friends or foes. Sadly, though, The Forger just does not get enough airtime. The same could be said about Maggie, Selina’s sister, who is key to this story since Selina desperately seeks her approval and support.

The most unfortunate issue with supporting characters in this book is the portrayal of Batman / Bruce Wayne. As Bruce Wayne he comes across as a generic Ken doll of a boyfriend. As Batman, he exhibits more personality but also seems more like a besotted suitor than a tortured crimefighter and there is little of the tension, sexual or otherwise, that one would expect in a Bat- Cat relationship. The bit where he “batsplains” crime to Selina is also out of place and drags the story down a bit.

However, the biggest problem with this book is that it does not fit well into the “Batman - One Bad Day” series, which is based on the original “One Bad Day” one-shot. That story told the origin of the Joker, who was transformed after one specifically horrible day from an average loser and loving husband to an insane and homicidal supervillain.

Yet, that sort of dramatic transition does not really work for Catwoman, who does not really have bad days as much as she has suddenly changing plans. In fact, this is really not a “bad day” story as much as it is a “nine lives” story. Sure Selina, has a bit of a dust up, but like any cat she lands on her feet, is a little worse for wear and then struts of stage with her tail held high.

As such, in addition to this book not really fitting into the series for which it was commissioned the ending feels more like a jumping off point than an actual ending. Perhaps, we readers will be lucky enough to see G. Willow Wilson and Jaimie McKelvie develop the storyline they have set out in this one-shot in a longer series That would surely be a run worth reading.

All in all, this book is a gem with a few flaws and rough edges. 4.5 stars rounded to 4.

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher, DC Entertainment, which provided me with a eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

I absolutely love Catwoman from the DC Comics franchise. Always been a fan of hers, so when I had the opportunity to read about another one of her cat burglar adventures, of course I had to read it. Although it was a short comic to go through, I enjoyed learning more about Selena's past and more about what her mission was this time. I always hope to read more of these stories from DC comics and more for Catwoman as a character.

One Bad Day is a limited series comprised of one-shot standalone storylines following Batman's "villains" (not sure if Catwoman completely fits this category) on a particularly crappy day. Solid artwork with vibrant choice of colors and retro stippling. Fantastically drawn double page spread. I appreciated the clarity of the action sequences even with the distortions created by rapid movements. The story started out strong, but lost steam halfway through. The part with a flirtatious Batman was out of character and disrupted story's flow. Lackluster ending.

Batman - One Bad Day: Catwoman was such a fun story from start to finish. The comic follows Catwoman as she focuses on a job that is connected to a family heirloom. The story pulls in the reader right from the beginning and the ending makes you wish there was more.

When it comes to the layout of the comic, the text and flow from frame to frame is smooth and doesn’t cause the reader to wonder what scene or text bubble comes next. The artwork is beautiful and the female form was drawn in a very body positive fashion (which is important for young children to see). I think this would be a great comic to have in a school library.

Beautiful artwork and a surprisingly intricate story about Batman’s foe and most important romantic interest. Catwoman is often intriguing but frustrating in her aloof and sometimes cold nature, but here we see a different view of how she came to be this way in which she struggles to justify her proclivities for stealing glittery trinkets. The target is of a personal interest to her, deeply ingrained in her past, and ofcourse Batman can’t resist getting involved when his femme fatale crosses paths with another villain who might be even more dangerous than the athletic feline felon. A wonderful addition to any Batman collection, fun, action packed with first class artwork and storytelling. Sprinkles of intense romance but also a lot of great character development and self reflection that makes DC so enjoyable.

The art style was so pretty! Instantly made me like it. The BatCat scenes were immaculate—the tension and passion were there for sure. All the while I was reading I had a huge grin on my face. Selina is just so likeable, especially the way she was written here. Immediately was hooked and was sad when I got to the end. I will for sure be checking out future issues!
Worth a read if you’re a Catwoman or BatCat fan!

Among the fellow comic book fans that I count as friends, I am probably one of the few who knows the simple joy of buying comic books in candy stores in the Bronx, or on spinners in drug stores, whose ideas of the Batman Family are more on the comics printed in the 1970's than the numerous Robins, Red Robins and Bat people that the Caped Crusader surrounds himself with. The Cat and the Bat is known thing to most current readers, but to me is fairly new. Yes Earth two Batman married a reformed Catwoman, and had a daughter that became Huntress, but it really wasn't until Batman Year 1 that I remember anything outside of flirting. Though I was a sheltered person about this things. Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman by G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by Jamie McKelvie reminds us that Selina Kyle is an exceptional thief, especially when she is trying to get an item that means much to her and her sister. Though a lot of things, including a Bat seem to trying to keep her from her goal.

Selina Kyle is having an ok day until an item on auction catches her eye. The bidding price is exceptional, the design not so much, but it is the item itself that Selina remembers. At a time when money was scarce, when Selina, and her sister were starving her mother tried to pawn something that she thought had value, but was taken advantage of by the pawnbroker. Selina decides to steal this pin back, for her mother and for her wallet. Everything seems to be going well, the theft masterful as to be expected by the Catwoman, until everything becomes a bad day.

A good story with amazing art, but an ending that just seems to be there. This is just a one-shot, and I have not read the other Bad Day Stories, so I don't know if this fits the arc, but the ending just seemed to happen. Yes there was some cozy moments, but I kind of wanted a resolution. Up until that moment I really enjoyed the story. Selina flashing back to her childhood. Discussing things with her sister who is trying to do the right things, and is working a retail hell job. Even the Bat was cool, except again the ending with him just didn't work. Again it could be the series, but for a one-shot there was a lot of hanging. The art is really beautiful. Selina in action is a woman of wonder and a joy to behold. Her flips, the way the artist makes her look different while trying to look nonthreatening. With her action scenes, just beautiful work. Batman looks good in a kind of early days grey outfit, which I liked also. Plus the heist was well written and fun.

A good read until the ending. But the art really makes up for a lot of it. Jamie McKelvie is a wonderful artist, and really I can't think of a book McKelvie's worked on that didn't look amazing. A nice story for Selina, and I would like to know more about where this storyline is going.

This is an intriguing take on morality and what is right. Catwoman, aka Selina, is planning on stealing back an item that belonged to her family. She finds out that her family was duped into believing that an heirloom wasn't worth very much, and the item, which her mother pawned to keep her and her sister fed, was a rare find at a pawn shop. It is being auctioned for a significant sum and makes Selina feel like getting vindication, but eventually, it is revealed that the alleged heirloom is, in reality, a dupe. The storyline notes that even what you think might be justice might defeat the purpose of your end goal. At times, taking a different perspective might be a more positive approach than aiming towards revenge.

Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is one of my most favorite morally gray characters in the Batverse. I adore that she has not only a proclivity for Batman but for getting her hands dirty.

In Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman, the focus is one Selina and a unique pendant that used to be in her family until her mother had to sell it for rent. The story revolves around this pendant, a mysterious woman, Selina's strained relationship with her sister, and her relationship with Batman. Hint: There may be some kissy face. In fact I absolutely loved the relationship between Batman and Catwoman. I have a feeling this series is going to see a lot of pining.

If you're a Selina Kyle fan you'll absolutely need to pick this up. The graphics and drawings are crisp even digitally. I can only imagine having this in print.

This Advanced Reader’s Copy was provided by DC Entertainment via NetGalley. Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman will be released on July 18th, 2023.

Also, there will be SPOILERS, so I’m letting you know in case you didn’t see the spoiler tag.

Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman by G.Willow Wilson (the creator of Kamala Khan Ms.Marvel) and drawn by Jamie McKelvie is a great read! This is a part of the One Bad Day series of One-shots where we learn the One Bad Day that turned Batman’s rouges into the villains that they are. The interesting thing about this book specifically is that Catwoman is not technically a villain. But Catwoman rides the line so I guess she counts. I guess Wilson had the same thought because this is just a bad day she had and not her villain origins, which is nice. I haven’t read the other One-shots in this series but this book had the same vibe you’d get from a Justice League Unlimited or Young Justice episode. Which is what I love about DC. Their ability to ease us into the world of the DC universe with a simple and satisfying story. This is insane because, to non-comic fans, DC is “that company with 20 reboots” when DC technically had 3 reboots. Crisis On Infinite Earths, Flashpoint (which birthed the New 52), and Rebirth. Rebirth is not really a reboot, but it kind of is. Only on the basis that it combines New 52 lore with Pre-New 52 lore. Then again that’s like calling Zero Hour a reboot but that’s not important.

Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman is a tale as old as time, Catwoman wants to steal something and she does it. But it takes this simple story and uses it to reveal some of her backstory which brings stakes to a typical heist story. Catwoman (Selina Kyle) wants to steal a Carnot Brooch from a jewelry auction. Why specifically this one? It’s because it used to belong to her mother and she had to sell it to a pawn shop to provide her for kids. The Brooch is said to be real but the Pawn shop owner tells her that it’s fake and only sells it for $200. Desperate to provide for her family, she takes the money anyway. Now it’s being sold in this auction because it was the real thing the whole time, which is why Catwoman is trying to steal it back. While scoping out the auction, she meets this older woman who tells her the history of the Brooch. It’s said to be a symbol of French Resistance during WWII. The Nazis controlled art and Jewelers had to find other ways to rebel which is represented by the Brooch taking the appearance of a bird in a cage. But when the French were liberated, the Jewelers placed the bird outside of the cage which symbolized freedom. The older woman also exposits how they got the artifact and it’s the story of Selina’s mother which makes her cry. The older woman apologizes for making her cry and reveals that her name is Vivian Page, one of the curators at the auction house. Selina tells her that it’s fine and leaves as Vivian says that it was nice to meet her and they’ll meet again sometime. Selina is shocked that someone made her emotional on the job but then she locks eyes with Bruce Wayne (Batman). Selina decides to execute the heist before he tries to stop her.

Selina successfully steals the Brooch and tells her sister that she got back a piece of their mother but Maggie doesn’t really care about it. Maggie still thinks that it’s fake and brushes Selina off but Selina tells her that it was real and either the pawnbroker was stupid or lying about its worth. Maggie once again brushes Selina off because the brooch was worthless when they needed it so why would she care now when it can’t help their mother anymore? Before Selina can argue back Maggie cuts her off and tells her that she has to get back to work. Selina is bothered but not surprised because when you’re poor you look so hard for better fortune but when you get it, it’s hard to believe it.

Selina then decides to get it appraised so she can sell the brooch, just because it can’t help their mother anymore doesn’t mean that the money can’t help her sister. But in a plot twist, the brooch is indeed a fake, not a genuine article. Selina leaves frustrated. She tells the appraiser that it’s old because her mom inherited it from her mother which makes the period of the brooch’s existence accurate. But the appraiser said that lies often become Family History and family history becomes mythology. Selina remarks that he should’ve been a therapist and storms out.

Selian is deflated after everything but realizes that she was duped by Vivian because she mentions how weird it was to see a Carnot Brooch in this time period. Selina decides to track her down but she doesn’t exist. It’s an alias. So Selina goes back to the scene of the crime to catch “Viviain” because all criminals go back to the crime scene. Sure enough “Vivian” leaves the auction house and Selina tails her. “Vivian” goes inside a bodega and is addressed as “Mrs. Hughes”. Selina is impressed that she can make people speak to her as if they know her well when in reality she could be anyone. Selina is about to jump down and confront “Vivian” at the bodega but she’s stopped by Batman.

Batman warns her that “Vivian” is someone he’s been tracking for a while and she’s more dangerous than she lets on. Catwoman isn’t surprised by Batman but she asks him if he was following her and what’s “Vivian” to him. Batman so happened to be tracking “Vivian” for months so it was more that he was following her and not Catwoman. Batman wants Catwoman to refrain from confronting “Vivian” now because, in the long run, they can send “Vivian” to jail with all the evidence he found. Catwoman is shocked but Batman tells her that these things take time and he didn’t he know about Selina’s history with the brooch. Selina asked Batman “And if you had known?” and he responds that he would have helped her and that she knows that. He offers her help if she wants it but he corrects himself by saying “I mean. I know you don’t NEED my help. But if you WANT me. IT. My HELP. That’s–I can” and Selina shushes him before kissing him. I love Selina and Bruce’s relationship, they’re equals and they see each as equals but they’re always there for each other. It brought a huge smile to my face is what I’m saying.

Selina and Bruce make out on the rooftops and she mentions that when they’re together they can’t stop, it’s more than love and it’s as unstoppable as the planets orbiting the sun. They stop kissing and she tells him that they could be like this all night if they don’t stop and Bruce’s okay with that. But Selina tells Bruce that she has to stop her tonight because this could be her only chance, Bruce tells her that she shouldn’t because if they get a whole bunch of evidence they can put her away for what she did to everyone, not just Selina. Selina teases Bruce for having too much faith in the justice system but Bruce rebuts her by smiling at her. He states that he doesn’t trust the system but that it’s all they got. Bruce pleads with her to wait a few more days but Selina asks if he’s going to stop her if she goes now. But Bruce says that he won’t stop her but he asking her too. Because “Vivian” is dangerous and who knows what she’s going to do next (he’s not wrong). Selina teases Bruce with “Aww, you worried about my SAFETY?” and he responds with “I AM”.

Selina departs the rooftop but she praises their relationship because Batman and Catwoman do things their own way and give each other room to breathe because everyone solves their problems differently. Catwoman waits on the stairs for “Vivian” to come back and greets her upon entering. “Vivian” is impressed that Catwoman found her and when Catwoman confronts her about the brooch, “Vivian” reveals that she created the Brooch and sold it to Catwoman’s mother 30 years ago. “Vivian” pours salt on this verbal wound by claiming her mother was a greedy desperate woman who wanted fortune from a deal that looked good on paper. That sets Catwoman off and they begin their fight. But “Vivian” holds her own which shocks Catwoman and she silently curses to herself that “Batman was right” and she hates it when he’s right. “Vivian” and Catwoman brawl until Catwoman asks “Vivian” to chill so that they can talk, she then asks why did “Vivian” convince the auction house that it was real? The money was not going to her once the auction ended, so why did she do it?

“Vivian” responds with a cryptic series of remarks that throw Catwoman off. Essentially the lesson is that items only hold value to where we are at the current moment. A toy could be a sense of comfort one year and useless plastic the next. “Vivian” slams her head on Catwoman’s nose and she flies, slamming her head on a door. Her vision gets woozy and her mind wanders on the fact that on bad days, there’s usually a bright side, but on this day, it’s just One Bad Day. “Vivian” tells Catwoman that they’re not enemies here and that if anything they’re competitors in a strange world with people that wear masks. “Vivian” goes home leaving Selenia to lick her wounds. As she sniffs up the blood coming down, Batman appears from out of nowhere. Batman teases her playfully and tells her that he won’t say “I told you so” but that he’s thinking it. Catwoman claims that he was definitely following her this time and Batman agrees and apologies in the same breath. As Batman helps her up, she asks him why didn’t he help her when she was getting her ass kicked. But Batman replies with “You looked like you were holding your own…mostly”. Bruce and Selena have a moment, he offers her a steak for her black eye and they exchange “I miss you”. Batman offers to take her home with him for a date but Selenia says that she needs to see her sister first. So they agree to have a date later that night. She leaves the building and the day is starting for most people while she had the longest night of her life. She pulls off her hood and walks down the street and calls her sister so they can meet up for a cup of coffee and talk about the brooch.
Catwoman’s costume is pretty cool, there’s a latex armor aesthetic that makes it look like her costume from Batman Returns but there’s an opening for her underarms and side chest. It looks weird at first because it's a break in the suit that you don’t expect. But it’s probably done to prevent chafing, especially since she’s flexible. But in the end, you see her take off her gloves, put the mask down (like a hood) and she can walk in public. So the suit works also as a one-piece outfit which was a cool detail I didn’t notice until the end. The art by Jamie McKelvie is really cool, it goes for cartoon realism and it reminds me of Mikel Janin and Tony Daniel’s art.

Since this is a trade paperback version of the One-shot I was surprised that there was no concept art or the variant covers at the end. It would have been cool to see sketches, designs, and/or alternative covers.

Overall I really loved this book. Like I said earlier it gave that JLU/YJ vibe and it was a comfortable read. The chemistry between Bruce and Selina was infectious and it didn’t make it a Batman and Catwoman story, it made it her story. I would love to see G.Willow Wilson on a Catwoman book or a Batman/Catwoman book. She understands the character and plays to their strengths as heroes. It also does well to juxtapose Catwoman and the other villains. While Riddler and Mr.Freeze are tragic and bastards in their own right. Selina has her sister, Bruce, and the Bat family to keep her from turning that One Bad Day into a lifetime of descent.


Batman: One Bad Day: Catwoman by G.Willow Wilson (the creator of Kamala Khan Ms.Marvel) and drawn by Jamie McKelvie a 4/5.

Thank you for Netgalley giving me this comic in exchange for an honest review.

When I first saw this story and that a woman author was behind it, I was so excited as for the type of DC comics I read, women authors are still far and few between. And it's still quite uncommon to find Batman themed stories with a writer who keeps in line with both the dark and softer sides of Batman characters and not over or underutilize them. I first thought this story was going to follow the vein of the Joker's origin story, the Killing Joke, where he had that catchphrase 'all it takes is one bad day.' I was expecting to see a day where Catwoman went insane or something along those lines. This Catwoman story, however, did not follow the darker, gritty aspects Killing Joke, but instead focuses more on Selina Kyle's past, with feelings of regret, loss, vengeance, and family. The start of the story gives the reader a good understanding of how this Catwoman views the world around her and snippets of her childhood, which was anything but good. The resilience to survive and be ahead of the game put her on par with Batman, who in this storyline seems to still be a love interest to her but is secondary to her goals in life. The criminal mastermind was also a nice intro to a whole new underworld of thieves and con artists as well. I won't say too much more about them, but being a master of disguise has always been one of the things I love when villains in the Batman universe are involved. They all have different takes as to what motivates them to turn to their criminal professions and seeing the journey as to what led them to it is one of the reasons why I definitely hope they do some more stories with the criminal in this story and perhaps show more about Selina Kyle's past as well. I definitely would recommend this comic!
