First off, Amazon lists this trade as collecting Catwoman Issue 01-07. This is INCORRECT. This trade only collects issues 01-06 of the New 52 Catwoman series.
Story: Judd Winick writes the series as if he's writing an HBO series. Overly gritty, a bit overly sexualized, and very violent. He doesn't seem to have a firm understanding of Selina as a character. Perhaps he doesn't need one, since the universe was rebooted. But this is not the Catwoman I've been reading for 20 years now. The book does get incrementally better as it goes along, so there is hope for the future.
Art: I mostly like Gulliem March's art, though he does seem to want to over-sexualize every female character. Selina in particular finds herself in some very awkward poses for the sake of a little TnA. While Catwoman has always been a character who has owned her sexuality and used it to her advantage, some of the art crosses the line between "Confident in Her Sexuality" and "Holy Crap, I Have Lady Parts, Let Me Show You All of Them!" Still, the art is detailed and beautiful.
The trade: INCREDIBLY flimsy. I was excited that this six issue trade wasn't $20 retail, as has been the case for a while. But if I had known the trade would be as flimsy as it is, I wouldn't have even bothered buying it. The pages feel delicate, like they will tear very easily (a problem frequently associated with DC trades). They don't feel firmly planted in the books, as if they would fall out just from normal reading. I haven't even read the actual book yet (I read the issues as they were coming out), I just flipped through it very lightly and carefully, and already you can see where the front cover is coming loose from the book. Not a good product.
First and foremost, Judd Winick has, to me, been kind of a hit-and-miss writer. He seems to go for more of an in-your-face style rather than subtlety, and this was never more apparent in the first two issues of this reintroduction to Selina Kyle as CATWOMAN as part of DC's NEW 52 initiative.
This new-ish version of Catwoman (which smartly keeps the Darwyn Cooke costume design from when he was doing this title with Ed Brubaker) has been very controversial amongst fans of the character. She's always been the sexy morally-challenged foil for Batman ever since her inception in the early 40's but never really more than that until the early 2000's when Ed Brubaker and Darwyn Cooke took a more aggressive stance for making her more than just the sexy cat-burglar that had the hots for The Bat. They made her more of an urban vigilante for the slums of Gotham, basically looking out for those that the police and even Batman ignored, such as the "ladies of the night" that she had once been. She was still a thief and she was still willing to cross lines that Batman wouldn't to see justice done, but she was more of a three-dimensional character.
The reason that Winick and artist Guillem March's run started with such controversy is that they seemed to be completely stripping the crime-fighter elements of her life away in order to bring back some of the fun that people used to have with the Catwoman character. The argument (and it's a strong one) is that by making Selina less than what she used to be was to take the character back to more of the hypersexualized character is what continues to make comics a very male-dominated field from both a creator and a reader standpoint.
