I don't have a lot of time to review it, but I wanted to get on here and say how much I loved Batman Annual #2.

I call myself one of the biggest Catwoman fans at CCF, and I'm rather inclined to be very critical of Catwoman stories, especially in modern comics. But they've actually been a doing a pretty good job with her lately. The three-part story that just ended in Batman gets a big thumbs-up from me.

And Batman Annual #2 ... Well, the next time I start making a Catwoman Top Ten, I'll be considering Batman Annual #2.

The modern-day storyline was very well written, and there's echoes to the past and how Batman and Catwoman met that are respectful of past adventures. And then there's also a few pages looking at the future that I thought were very well-done, with a bit of a tip of the hat to those bizarre stories in the late 1950s and early 1960s about how Alfred was writing a series of fictional tales about what would happen to Batman and Robin in the future (and also an homage to the Earth-2 Batman's matrimonial fate).

The best Catwoman story I've read in quite a while, even though I will admit I liked that run in the New 52 where she was a Gotham mob boss.
