Catwoman #91 — Torunn Gronbekk and Danilo Beyruth Take Felicia Hard on a Heist at 2,000 Feet
Vandal Savage’s home is supposed to be untouchable, but Catwoman sees an opportunity in the chaos. Torunn Gronbekk and Danilo Beyruth team up for a high-altitude caper that feels fresh, frantic, and utterly magnetic.
There is a specific kind of magic in watching a character operate when their usual rules don’t apply. In this latest drop from DC, Catwoman isn’t lurking in the shadows of Gotham’s alleyways; she’s high above the city, navigating a situation where the usual ground rules have been thrown out the window. This is the kind of issue that makes you lean in, because the premise is simple, audacious, and perfectly suited to the woman who makes her own luck.
The city is in disarray, a chaotic backdrop that usually invites trouble, but Sel Kyle is looking for something else. With the usual heroes and villains tied up in the larger mess, she sees a gap in the armor of the most dangerous man in the world: Vandal Savage. While everyone else is reacting to the disaster, she is planning the one move that no one else would dare attempt. It’s a heist, but it’s not just about the steal; it’s about the audacity of the target.
Torunn Gronbekk’s writing brings a sharp, confident energy to Felicia’s voice, treating her not just as a thief, but as a strategist playing a game only she understands. Paired with Danilo Beyruth’s art, the pages feel kinetic and alive. Beyruth has a way of capturing movement and tension that makes you feel the wind in your hair, even when you’re just reading static panels. The visuals are sleek, dangerous, and full of that classic Catwoman allure.
This issue stands out because it shifts the genre slightly. We get used to seeing Catwoman in noir mysteries or romantic entanglements, but a high-stakes, high-altitude caper against a immortal powerhouse like Savage is a delightful twist. It’s a reminder of why she’s one of the most versatile characters in the DCU. She can be gritty, she can be glamorous, and right now, she’s absolutely terrifying to anyone standing in her way.
If you’ve been following Selina’s journey in the current run, this feels like a natural escalation of her skills and confidence. It’s a great place to jump in if you’ve missed a few issues, as the focus is squarely on this one singular, insane plan. And for those who love the visual flair of the series, the cover by Sebastian Fiumara is a stunner that perfectly captures the dizzying height and the sleek silhouette of our favorite feline.
