Under The Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren MyracleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Selina’s mom has had a series of bad boyfriends that treat both of them like trash. After a tragic event pushes Selina out of the house, the future Catwoman finds herself on the street fending for herself. She creates a system where she only needs to count on her own wits and is content … or is she? Selina may have taken on the name Catwoman, but she has a lot to learn about herself and the people of Gotham. Will Selina find anyone she can trust?
Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale is a graphic novel with a new take on the origins of Catwoman. I was a little disheartened with some of the cuss words that were included, even though they weren’t excessive. There is a scene about self-harm and Myracle did a wonderful job ensuring that readers will understand that it is not to be glorified and asking for help should always be an option. Overall it was an enjoyable read, yet there just seems to be something missing. I hope that there will be more graphic novels about this strong female character so that I can learn how she overcomes her own demons.
