Absolute Catwoman Doubles Its Run to 12 Issues as Che Grayson and Bengal Stay On

DC is keeping Selina Kyle's corner of the Absolute Universe open for business. Absolute Catwoman, originally announced as a six-issue mini-series, is being extended to 12 issues, with writer Che Grayson and artist Bengal returning for issues #7-12 in 2027.

The first half of the run, issues #1-6, is written by Scott Snyder and Grayson with art by Bengal. Snyder says the extension was part of the plan from the pitch stage, tying directly into events unfolding in Absolute Batman #25 — though he's keeping specifics close to the vest, promising that what's coming for Selina and her cast "only takes the character to greater heights."

Grayson and Bengal both pointed to the collaboration as a highlight of their careers, with Grayson calling the chance to keep telling Selina's story "such an honor" and teasing deeper ties to Gotham ahead. Up next: Absolute Catwoman #4 hits shops November 4, with Selina and the Calicos chasing one last heist for the Yarn before Cassandra Cain and the League of Shadows beat them to it.
