Catwoman Annual 2013 1

Kicking off an explosive new storyline that continues into CATWOMAN (2011- ), Selina must choose work for a master--or pay a high price for her freedom.

The Hasagawa crime family has been a big thorn in Selina's side as she grapples with the underworld. Now learn the secret of how their stories intersect.

Selina Kyle walks a fine line in the criminal underworld. A thief herself, sheÕs regularly on the wrong side of the law, while her personal life gives her crooked colleagues plenty of reason to distrust her. When Catwoman finds herself at the center of a dark plot full of violence and intrigue, sheÕll have to decide which side she is onÉand who she can trust. If a leopard canÕt change its spots, and a leopard is a catÉcan Catwoman ever escape her own destiny?

In the 14th century, the monarch RaÕs al Ghul sends his sonÑa dark knight of the Order of the BatÑon a genocidal mission to wipe out a roving band of peasants known as the Selenes. But the nomads are protected by a shape-shifter: a half-woman, half-feline whose attempts to thwart RaÕs al GhulÕs evil plan may be utterly undone by her feelings for the knight.

Father Valley is a mystery. His unusual style as a hit man, his habit of keeping a bible designated for each of his targets, his macabre and particular method of elegant savagery, his insistence on waiting until his target has reached their highest point before he strikes them down-these are all strange and enigmatic traits that have remained unexplained…until now. Bear witness to Father Valley’s past with the Order of St. Dumas, and his unexpected connection with Azrael, to learn the method to of his madness. And see, once and for all, why Catwoman should be deathly afraid of being on his hit list.

What’s a cat burglar to do? When things went south in Gotham City, Selina Kyle picked up stakes and moved to Villa Hermosa. Too bad the past always has a way of catching up with you. Gotham comes to Catwoman in the form of the Penguin, fresh from his most recent tussle with Batman, and he’s not just looking to horn in on Selina’s new scheme; he comes bearing hot goss about everything-and everyone-Selina tried to leave behind. Collects CATWOMAN #7-13 and ANNUAL #1.

Catwoman is on the look out for jewels or priceless artwork, but when she steals from the wrong man, he wants answers and he wants blood.

Forced to take refuge in the worst slum of Gotham City, teenager Selina Kyle is taken in and tutored by a mysterious sensei who would play a pivotal role in the shaping of Catwoman.
