Art by Nicola Scott and Doug Hazlewood
Cover by Nicola Scott

It has a nekkid Catman.  Even as a straight man, I can appreciate that. 

Seriously funny, great art and just incredible writing.  Simone has a very great handle on these characters and her ability to juggle each of their very very different personalities is amazing, particularly her handling of Catman.  Just when you think the blonde bombshell is on the verge of growing a heart of gold, he says a few lines that make you realized he has no plans for a change of career any time soon.

Nicola Scott is quickly making a name for herself here.  Her pencils are clean and her artwork is very enjoyable.  There is one particular panel involving a phonebooth that is just flat out disturbing(I literally said "Holy SH*T!") and beautiful at the same time.  She is fully capable of intergrating all the elements of Simone's script so flawlessly that its harder to find a more impressive duel currently working in comics today.  It also must be mentioned again that she draws an incredible naked Catman.

Easily my pick of the week and a great read all around.  Not since Dynamo 5 came out as one single book managed to have me this excited after only the first 3 issues.  I should also note that I knew nothing about these characters, with the exception of Bane, before picking up issue #1, and that I mostly read Marvel books.  If Simone and Scott can get someone like me THIS excited about a book, then it really is something that you owe it to yourself to check out.

I'm with you on the nekkid Catman. Who knew he could be so HAWT? Nicola Scott sure knows how to bring the sexy to a comic book and I love how she draws sexy men (and women!). This book has one of my very favourites and I'd love it to become an ongoing series. Great stuff.

I thought it was already an ongoing.  Isn't it? 

But yeah, it is such a sweet book.  I'm hooked.

For some reason I had it in my head that it was just a mini series but I've had a mooch on DC and indeed it is ongoing. Sweeeeet!
