Catwoman of East End Omnibus collects the Brubaker/Cooke era that turns Selina Kyle into a street-level protector with noir texture and moral ambiguity. Instead of treating Catwoman only as Batman's thief-romance counterpart, the run gives her a neighborhood, a supporting cast and a reason to stay in costume that belongs to East End. It is one of the clearest Catwoman shelves for readers who want crime fiction, character reinvention and Gotham seen from below.
