SUMMARY:
Entitled “Here Comes the Bride,” DC Comics released this issue for February 1995. Forced into a shotgun wedding with the nefarious Prince Willem, a captive Selina Kyle schemes to escape ASAP. Yet, at Willem’s castle evidently somewhere in the snowy Alps, heavily-armed, rival hit squads converge to object to the nuptials.
One is a peeved Galiant’s commando team seeking to eliminate a double-crossing Catwoman while the other intends to assassinate the prospective ‘groom.’ All a tenacious Selina knows is that she had better skedaddle fast once the crossfire ensues.
REVIEW:
Anchored by the art squad’s reliably terrific visuals, writer Chuck Dixon serves up a predictably chaotic Cat-caper. No matter its assortment of plot contrivances, the undemanding Catwoman # 18 delivers a fun (if not quickly forgettable) read for fans.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
There’s a two-page “Copy Cats” letters-and-answers column.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
