Scott Snyder, Che Grayson Unleash Catwoman in DC's New 'Absolute Universe'
DC Comics is kicking off an ambitious new era with *Absolute Catwoman #1*, featuring a powerhouse creative team: Scott Snyder, Che Grayson, and Bengal. This inaugural title plants Selina Kyle squarely in the mysterious new "Absolute Universe," promising a fresh take on the iconic anti-heroine.
Snyder, a veteran scribe known for his seminal Batman run, teams with rising star Che Grayson to pen a story of a Catwoman at the peak of her game. Selina Kyle is presented as the world's greatest thief, equipped with an arsenal of high-tech gear and unparalleled skills. She's a master of grand larceny, executing intricate heists across the globe, from London apartments to seemingly impenetrable fortresses.
Yet, beneath the glamour and the pilfered quantum processors, a deeper mystery simmers. When figures from her past come calling, Selina's carefully constructed life shatters. She’s forced on a globe-trotting chase, not just for treasure, but for answers – and ultimately, for freedom. The comic leans into this compelling paradox: Selina has everything wealth and skill can buy, but true liberty remains elusive. Bengal's art is set to bring this high-octane, emotionally charged journey to vivid life, promising dynamic action and expressive character work.
“Despite her vast wealth, high-tech gear, and unparalleled skills, Selina Kyle is on a globe-trotting quest for the one thing she truly desires: freedom.”
