After the events of The Gotham War, Catwoman has left Gotham, made a costume upgrade, and set out on a new mission for herself which begins in Colombia with a run-in with Santa Espada involving a stolen cat that Selina has finally decided to return, or so it initially appears, even if doing so puts her life in danger.

After one of the best Wonder Woman comics I’ve ever read, the series comes down to Earth for something closer to a middle issue of an ongoing arc. Wonder Woman #3 isn’t bad by any means, it just doesn’t measure up to last month’s terrific issue.
