Webcartoonists Respond to the Cover of Catwoman #0

It’s the beginning of the true summer season, and what that means in comics is that DC and Marvel are revealing their solicits for September, that is, the artist lineups, covers, and brief plot teasers. For DC, September is the first anniversary of their New 52, which means special issue #0’s for everybody, each one focusing on (though not necessarily retelling) their origins.

Judging by the cover for Catwoman 0#, Catwoman’s new origin is that she’s a refuge from Lumpy Space. Naturally this did not go unnoticed by some of our favorite webcartoonists. (Post is probably NSFW, if it isn’t already.)

Josh Rogers of Mushface Comics prepared this masterpiece:

Of course, not everyone was happy.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but nevertheless, DC Women Kicking Ass has one more excellent point to make about the whole thing.
