Catwoman Vol 1 #82 Review
Catwoman Vol 1 #82 Review - Cat Outta Hell

Catwoman gets out of solitary! Riding a wave of barely contained rage at the world at large, it's payback time, starting with the prison staff. But not everyone on the wrong side of the law shares Selina's agenda, and the authorities are not the only ones whose blood will be spilled. However, instead of it being a cop, Harley Quinn is in disguise, wanting something from Catwoman.
We pick up this issue following Catwoman's dramatic reawakening in the Cinque centre.
Hot damn, I love this cover. It's just so reminiscent of a Joker pose, especially with the teeth showing from a huge grin and the colouring is pure classic horror - all muted monochromatic tones, glaring white teeth with just the blood in colour. It's just so dramatic and intriguing at the same time.
Now when I first read this I had no idea what a Cinque centre was. I mean, obviously it's a mix between a light prison and rehabilitation? Or something like that for criminals?
I'm older now and have the internet so I did a search to help other people with my knowledge gathering skills but all I can find is the number five and a bunch of Catwoman references. Useless.
So pretty much it's a sort of a minimum security prison for women but it's not really a prison kind of, the inmates are residents but also criminals and the guards are officers in uniform.
