Tini Howard just shared the word on her Substack. After her first work for DC Comics in December on Batman: Urban Legends #10. And in January, she will be writing the ongoing Catwoman #39 title, replacing Ram V and being joined by Nico Leon as artist and Jordie Bellaire as colourist, and covers by Jeff Dekal that, as Tini puts it "drip fashion and sex".

I'm standing on the shoulders of giants who wrote my favorite Catwoman tales like Brubaker, Cooke, and Valentine, and I'm so grateful. This is an all new jumping on point – if you've wondered about Selina's life post-Bat you can start right here -but I also need to take the time to holler at the current creative team. Ram V, Fernando Blanco, Nina Vakueva – the people working on the current Catwoman book have been kicking ass and they didn't give me an easy act to follow.
