Years after coming to New York to try to build a life, she has found herself with two kids, a husband, two jobs, a PhD-and now they're filing for bankruptcy. Grappling with motherhood, economic anxiety, rage, and the limits of language, Want is a fiercely personal novel that vibrates with anger, insight, and love. Bedard gives Selina a very human and natural reaction to this information only to follow it up with a very clichéd reaction from Maggie. As Harley and Ivy keep Black Mask at bay, Selina finds Maggie, who expresses her dismay at the fact that Selina stopped visiting her. This was a stretch, but I was willing to play along. However, once she hears Black Masks voice, she miraculously becomes lucid and coherent. Maggie has been left catatonic since the torture and murder of her husband at the hand of Black Mask. Black Mask goes after Selina's sister, Maggie, who was selected because she is the one character that will cause Catwoman the most pain and, thus, fuel his black ring. In fact, this could very well have been a Gotham City Sirens issue with a Blackest Night banner. The character of Black Mask is entertaining under the pen of Tony Bedard as is Harley Quinn who, along with Poison Ivy, helps Catwoman out in this issue. After that, it's back to the usual haunting of the DC character shtick readers have begun to loathe over the past few months. Catwoman, unlike last week's Weird Western Tales, does a decent job of bringing unfamiliar readers up to speed on the dealings between Black Mask and Catwoman in a quick two-page narration.

"I am so glad they greenlit two and three at the same time because that means when three comes out, it will feel like just next season, and not like, a lifetime," Payton continued. There was a glut of animation studios just trying to get so much done and literally it was like, projects sitting there with a backpack full of material. Luckily, in September 2022, Khary Payton, who voices Markus Grimshaw/Black Samson, provided a key reveal with regard to season two's progress(via SuperheroHype). Prime Video has been playing its Invincible cards very close to its spandex-covered chest. We should get even firmer news any day now.
