This exclusive preview of Catwoman #9 introduces The Broker while reinforcing Selina’s swagger and sultriness. She’s been in a sad state for much of this series as she regretfully ponders why she abandoned her true love on their wedding day, but she’s able to temporarily escape her problems by getting back to what she does best: robbing people. John Timms’ artwork fully captures Selina’s alluring attitude, and there’s a playful quality to the visuals that adds energy to Ram V’s story. That’s especially evident in the final page of this excerpt, which takes the name of Selina’s operation, “a two-step cha-cha-cha,” and incorporates it into the art by replicating the rhythm of the dance move in the panel layout and capping off each row with “cha cha cha” written in big white letters against a red background. It’s a great example of how lettering can set the tone and add extra visual impact to a page, and Ram V’s script gives his collaborators multiple moments where they can stretch their artistic muscles to bring a sense of cool fun to the issue.
