In 2018, following the events of Batman's wedding, DC relaunched Catwoman's solo series with Catwoman Vol. 5, written and drawn by Eisner Award-nominated Joëlle Jones. The story begins with Selina Kyle leaving the wedding and Gotham behind: she moves to Villa Hermosa, a city as cold and corrupt as Gotham, hoping to settle down and nurse her broken heart, only to discover that a new Catwoman is already prowling her neighborhood. The impostor is wanted by local police, and witness testimony thrusts Selina into the center of a serial crime storm. To clear her name, Selina must first find out who is stealing her identity and costume, and why; meanwhile, she must navigate infighting within the local police department and prison politics, and face a powerful new villain who is after her nine lives. This volume collects the opening arc "Copycats," drawn from the first six issues published in 2018-2019, marking the starting point of the series' overall storyline.Editor's review
《猫女》第五卷是DC“重生”阶段之后最受关注的女性角色个人刊之一。它的可贵之处在于，琼斯没有把猫女写成一个只会飞檐走壁的“哥谭花瓶”，而是在一场没能举行的婚礼之后，写一个成年女性如何独自搬家、如何面对旧关系留下的空洞、又如何在陌生城市里被误认作罪犯而被迫重操旧业。视觉上，琼斯为塞琳娜重新设计了制服轮廓，参考赫尔德·朗的裙装与《蝙蝠侠归来》《蝙蝠侠：动画系列》中的经典造型，动作线条干净利落，夜戏光影层次分明。对于只看过电影或动画的读者，这一册是进入漫画原典猫女的好入口；对于追过《蝙蝠侠》婚礼篇的读者，它则提供了一个“婚礼之后”的视角。需要说明的是，中文版信息目前难以核实，本条目以原版刊物为准，具体版本细节请以实际印本为准。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 看过《蝙蝠侠》婚礼篇，好奇塞琳娜之后去向的读者
- 喜欢猫女与哥谭系女性角色的电影、动画观众
- 欣赏黑色电影气质与利落线条的欧美漫画读者
- 想从个人刊入门DC“重生”宇宙的读者
Not a good fit for
- 期待轻松搞笑或恋爱喜剧向猫女故事的读者
- 偏好完整闭环故事、不愿追系列的读者
- 给低龄儿童选书、对暴力与犯罪题材敏感的家长
Reading tips
- 先补一下《蝙蝠侠》婚礼事件的大致经过，塞琳娜的心理动机才更易理解。
- 阅读时留意画面中的城市空间与制服细节，这是琼斯版猫女的重要看点。
- 本卷为长篇连载，建议按月刊登场顺序连读，不要跳册。
- 若手上是合集，可把这一册当作系列开篇，后续再读“远离哥谭”等段落。

FAQ
《猫女v5》里的“v5”是什么意思？
“v5”指猫女个人连载的第五卷。DC猫女连载自1989年起分卷出版，2018年开启的第五卷由乔艾尔·琼斯主创，故事紧接《蝙蝠侠》婚礼事件之后。没看过蝙蝠侠能直接读这一册吗？
可以读，但会缺失一部分情感铺垫。故事本身从塞琳娜离城、被冒充者牵连讲起，主线是自足的；只是她与布鲁斯之间“婚礼未成”的心结，来自《蝙蝠侠》的相关故事线。这一册是完整故事还是连载的一部分？
它是系列开篇部分。“复制猫”这一段在系列前六期左右收束，但塞琳娜在维拉埃尔莫萨的经历与后续反派线索会延伸到之后几册，属于长篇连载中的一段相对完整的故事。有没有中文版可以买？
