Catwoman #69 is out today!
Preview, Brussels and a giveaway!
“In the middle of the night, in a room that is not her home, Selina Kyle wakes up to the news of her own death.”
That was the first sentence I wrote in the outline almost a year ago, and it’s how the first issue of our Catwoman run begins.
I’ll write some more about the book and the process later, but I wanted to share the preview pages from Catwoman #69 today because they are fucking amazing. The art is by the brilliant Fabiana Mascolo, with stunning colors from Patricio Delpeche and letters by Steve Wands – who gets the sad job of redacting all my cursing. (I owe you many drinks, Steve.)
The main covers are by Seba Fiumara, who consistently blows my mind, and the team was assembled by our wonderful editors, Arianna Turturro and James Reid from DC. One of the great joys of writing this book is working with the people above. I feel so lucky and grateful to be a part of it.
In addition to Seba’s main cover, we have variants by Frank Cho, Noobovich, Daniel Sampre and Homare. (I have a few of each cover—if you want a signed issue, let me know which cover you want in the comments, and I’ll send it to a few of you!)

In other news:
I’ll be at Heroes Comic Con Belgium this weekend. If you're in Brussels, come by and talk to me! I’ll be the perplexed Norwegian telling bad jokes.
I’m writing a She-Hulk story for INCREDIBLE HULK #800, and it’s a quirky, lovely thing.
Garth Ennis, Brian K Vaughan, Chris Burnham, Rob Williams, Keith Burns, and I discussed the new Battle Action on Forbidden Planet TV. It was a ton of fun!
What are you watching? And reading? I’ve been in a movie slump lately – can’t seem to find anything to hold my attention with any conviction – but I watched Funny Games (1997) a few weeks ago, and I still think about it. (It was recommended to me by Venom editor Jordan D. White, who, as it turns out, has a great horror movie podcast. If that’s your thing, you should check out Nature Trail to Hell.)
How exciting!!! I cannot wait to pick up my copy this weekend (the comic store is near our roller derby rink so I'll hit it up when I go to our game!). Tini's run was the first Catwoman series I ever read and sticking with it now that you're taking the reins is a no-brainer! I also can't wait to see your She-Hulk story! <3 Glad you're keeping busy with fun things!
(As for movies, I recently saw this year's vampire flick Abigail, which was DELIGHTFUL and extra gooey. I'm also watching The Mentalist lately, a very fun procedural drama.)
That main cover is awesome!!. I loved your Carnage and in fact I've been tasked with the introduction of the second Spanish trade.
I know you probably can't afford to send me a copy to Spain but hey, It was worth a try.
