He’s a large man who’s a heavy drinker and who can snap at any point. ![]() Selina’s mother’s boyfriend is about as disgusting and terrible as they come. The book’s depiction of domestic abuse can be pretty jarring at times. I’ll admit that the first third or even half of the novel is pretty bleak. But it’s the how and the execution (both written and illustrated) in this newest graphic novel from DC Ink, that makes the difference. These things are what make Selina Kyle, as well as Catwoman, who she is. Sure, a lot of her backstory in Under the Moon is very reminiscent of her classic history: The abuse, homelessness, petty theft. She also realizes, to her surprise, that there’s solace and happiness to be found in being a part of a group, and so she joins a pack of other runaways/homeless youths who support themselves by committing small crimes. After living on the streets on her own for a while, she discovers that the solitary life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. ![]()
