review:
'Catwoman Election Night' by Meredith Finch is a pretty good story. It includes a backup story from the Prez miniseries by Mark Russell that was pretty awful though.
In the Catwoman story, Selina Kyle has a flashback to living in Miss Kitty's home with other girls waiting to be adopted. She is bullied by one of the girls. In the present, Gotham is having a mayoral election with the Penguin running for mayor against a woman named Constance Hill. Catwoman is investigating the whole thing. There seems to be an odd connection to Miss Kitty's house and a wall that the Penguin wants to put up. The truth will solve an old mystery, but who will become the mayor of Gotham?
The backup Prez story has to do with hat guns and birth control candy and too many white old men making the rules. It is so blatant in the message it is making that it feels like blunt force trauma to read it.
The Catwoman story was a bit subtle with a similar message and it was better done. The Prez story didn't have the same feel or art, or even a specific election theme, so it was hard to feel any tie in. Buy it for the Catwoman story, unless you're a bigger Prez fan than I am.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. thank you for allowing me to review this issue.
