Yes, America, Catwoman Will Be Getting A 69 From DC Comics

Bleeding Cool previously reported that the new DC Comics' September 2024 solicits and solicitations listed Catwoman #68 as a finale.

Bleeding Cool previously reported that the new DC Comics' September 2024 solicits and solicitations listed Catwoman #68 as "The Can't-Miss Finale To Tini Howard's Run". And we wondered if the series was concluding, continuing or maybe getting a relaunch? Would Catwoman, unlike Saga, be denied a 69?

Well, in her Substack newsletter, Tini Howard confirms for both Catwoman and Harley Quinn, "Both of my ongoing DC Comics series, Catwoman and Harley Quinn, are coming to an end in September with Catwoman #68 and Harley Quinn #43. I couldn't be prouder. If you've got your eyes on the comics rags, you might be seeing that a lot of incredible DC Comics series are coming to an end right before October. So we're in fine company." This would be Joshua Williamson leaving Green Lantern and Batman And Robin, and Tom Taylor leaving Nightwing. Should we look to October for DC All-In and the Absolute Universe?

But like those titles, Catwoman will be continuing as a series. Frank Cho posts to Facebook "Catwoman #69, variant cover. (SNEAK PEEK) Finished the first of my six Catwoman covers. Nonstop crosshatching for 3 days. My BIC ballpoint pen went into overdrive. Now I can rest and ice my hand, then jump onto Catwoman #70 cover. DC Comics will post the full image later."

So a) Catwoman is getting a #69 for October and b) looks like DC will be announcing a new creative team soon. Tini says "If you don't love my work on these characters, enjoy my absence on the main monthly titles – I don't know what's coming next for these books, but I'm excited to see who takes over, as a fan."

But also that "Do I have more stories to tell with them? Of course – and there's a home for those that I can't talk about yet, with one of comics' favorite artists. We've only gotten to work together for a few pages in the past, so a whole new book together will be hot as hell. The next thing is also in a new format! Which is maybe the most exciting part of this, for me personally". As well as saying, "my days with these sirens aren't over. In addition to the rest of these two runs, we've got the Harley backup story in Batman 151, and more to come."
