[Edward Sojuwa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Real life actress and real life Cat Woman Eartha Kitt was one of the sexiest black female stars of all time, on TV, movies and hit tunes, and was a true champion in social justice. She recently died a few years ago, so somehow we need a cool way to honor her for being the PURRfect CATalyst for ordinary mortals like us. Sadly, this graphic novel is small on plot development, though big on She-ro worship. Eartha the superhero is surfing while wearing tight leather (rrowwr!) when a huge Gorgon, a lizard creature kinda like Godzilla's cousin, interrupts her perfect hang ten moves. Upon finding out he's looking for his dino mommy, Eartha takes it upon herself to get him returned safely. But then the Army, and then the Navy show up to take potshots at the big guy, AND at our catlike heroine. IE: you can guess the ending yourself, I think...So who will be the next grave the comic book world can desecrate? Marilyn Monroe? It can be done, y'know.
Two stars.
Eartha remains kick-ass. The comic: not as much.

Cute fun

Most underrated catwoman interrupts the conflict of a kaiju movie. Fun art style and good motion on the omic panels.
