SUMMARY:
Entitled “More Edge More Heart,” DC Comics released this issue for October 1995. Hidden inside a sleazy film set trailer, Selina “Catwoman” Kyle discreetly accepts an unscrupulous producer’s half-million dollar assignment to swipe an elusive monster movie script. The kicker is that the successful director-screenwriter is already filming it on a remote Caribbean island, with too few pages distributed daily to cast and crew.
As a hurricane bears down on the island, a luckless Selina finds herself saving innocent bystanders. Worse yet, a cliffhanger conveys that Selina is evidently out of her league against a supernatural threat.
Parental Note: Implied sexual foreplay occurs in one sequence, as Selina humorously overhears it hiding under her intended target’s bed.
REVIEW:
The art squad’s excellent visuals can’t disguise Chuck Dixon’s routine trifle of a plot. Catwoman # 20 is a good-enough read, but it’s by no means a keeper.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
There’s a two-page “Copy Cats” letters-and-answers column.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5½ Stars
