I think Catwoman: Lonely City spoiled me a bit, because it and Rogues have a lot in common, and I think Chiang just did it better. Still, the impressive art and fun, creative heist format make this a great read. I was left underwhelmed by the characters—I like the templates Williamson uses a lot, but felt like he didn’t go anywhere with them—but in a relatively straightforward caper like this, it didn’t hurt my enjoyment too much.
