Full praise to the art team here, that was gorgeous. Especially the color work, the use of pinks and deep reds was magnificent. But I do find it curious what this tie in chooses to focus on during this event, the element of the world who look for opportunity in the worst of times but still maintain a certain set of values that prevent them from falling into depravity and ultimately pays off. I’m glad that Selina’s big heist for the issue was so quickly taken care of to direct her focus to the human element of this event. She finishes up her fight from the last issue in the apartment building where Vandal Savage lives and she has found someone adversely affected by the spores causing them to become raging mad, she also feels the sores and feels them going to her head like a burst of adrenaline but she maintains her statue even while feeling invincible to take him down and continue the mission as she gets inside Savage’s apartment to find a strange calm. She wants to leave her mark and find some way to show he is untouchable, but that’s not why she is here. Instead she connects and takes over his security system to give Falcone direct access over it. On her way out she does notice a shard of Savage’s meteor on display and seems drawn to it, but is left open ended about whether or not she took the really expensive rock with mysterious properties.

This issue throws us back over to the part of Falcone’s operation where he has his team out looking for his rich friend’s kid. They found him and got him a high grade gas mask and get him into a local store as spore clouds drive them inside…but the thought occurs to one of them they they could extort this kid and make a lot of money. When Catwoman finally checks back in with Savage, he is the middle of ordering his men to excavate and secure as many of the prehistoric plants in his warehouse before they are made illegal. He was given a message about the kid from the goon sent after him still loyal to his operation and needs Catwoman over there now to make sure the kid gets back safe. Things are not looking good as the two men sent by Falcone to secure the kid have been taken down by locals raiding the store, and when they find a kid with a high grade military mask it just screams rich kid. Fortunately Catwoman arrived just in time to take down the assailants and to return the mask to the very scared kid as she removed her own to show him she is here to help.

It’s just Catwoman and Ash now as he follows her through this wasteland, she makes not mistake to lie and tell him this isn’t a scary situation but she is not one to get scared easily. But she is one to try and hide the horrors from the wild as best she can. When they come across a field of dead bodies wrapped in vines, she moves them to a vine to walk across so he avoids looking down at the dead. As they finally get close to the apartment building they find a crowd running away from the living plants trying to kill them, but they push forth anyway and as the building is in eye sight Catwoman orders the kid to run forward to the side door and to slam it shut and lock it behind him when she gives the signal as he hasn’t noticed the group surrounding to attack them. They know who the kid is and try and convince Catwoman to give him up, but she knows the value of having someone fight for you and she isn’t giving up on him. She cracks her whip as she sends the kid running, his mask is ripped away right as a cloud fills the street. Selina runs over to the kid and takes her own mask off, the air burns as the kid runs off and she wonders what the point of any of this is…but then the kid comes back, this time he takes her by the hand to lead her through the smoke and to safety. Maybe it’s not all worthless after all.

Selina has such a good heart when it comes to the weak and defenseless. Her abilities are on full display in this issue. Very nice artwork accompanies this one. For a tie-in issue that doesn't do much for the overall narrative, this was a really good side story about humanity during trying times.

The hero a young spectrum-experiencing boy needs, somewhat linked to the story Grønbekk is trying to tell despite having to shoehorn-in an unconnected minor event. Surprisingly good for the filler it is.

Selina might be a thief but her moral code is rock solid when it comes to the helpless!

Really strong issue imo. Very existentialist. Very introspective. Really enjoyed this one.
