Catwoman dark victory5/21/2023 At less than half the length of its predecessors, When in Rome is also a quarter of the mystery - fewer suspects, fewer layers, fewer red herrings. But, no artist’s work looks quite like Tim Sale’s, and it’s rather hard to imagine stories set around Long Halloween without him.įor those who haven’t read When in Rome, my best advice is truly to go into it expecting a spin-off and not a sequel. If there were more from Long Halloween - if DC did as they did with Tom King’s Batman/Catwoman Special, where other artists completed John Paul Leon’s unfinished artwork in tribute - I would certainly buy it. Sadly, in the interim, Sale passed away, which makes this endeavor bittersweet what seemed a new beginning for the “Long Halloween-verse” is now most likely, understandably, its end. I had never read Catwoman: When in Rome, an oversight that seemed all the more glaring given my enjoyment of Long Halloween and Dark Victory, so this seemed an opportunity to accomplish a couple goals at once. Wanting to be fully versed in the mystery ahead of reading the special, I stuck the new, timed-for-the-animated-movie deluxe editions of Long Halloween and its sequels on my reading list. I was excited when Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale re-teamed last year for a new Batman: The Long Halloween special.
