Selina Kyle is thinking big in Catwoman #25. In the story, "Return to Alleytown," Catwoman makes a trip to her hometown and after a run-in with some local kids, she decides she can help them while also helping herself. What Catwoman winds up doing sets herself up to be a future Queen of Crime in Alleytown. She might not exactly be a philanthropist, but she's also not a narcissistic sociopath.

Catwoman has been robbing the streets of Gotham since 1940 in Batman #1. Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Selina Kyle was originally designed to be a supervillain for Batman but has since evolved into a kind of antiheroine and love interest for Bruce Wayne. Selina was a troubled kid with neglectful parents who wound up in an orphanage. There she ran afoul of a corrupt administrator and again took to the streets. This time she winds up in Alleytown where Mama Fortuna, an elderly leader of a gang of young thieves, took her in. Fortuna molded Selina into a seasoned, skilled thief. Even though Fortuna took Selina and others in, she treated the children like slaves and took all the money they stole. Fortuna had both a big impact on Selina's life, but Selina also resented her for her treatment.

Marvel Comics has released a preview for this Wednesday's Iron Man #1, teasing a brand new direction for the Armored Avenger. Marvel Comics has released a preview for Iron Man #1 from the creative team of Christopher Cantwell (Doctor Doom) and CAFU, which arrives in comic shops this Wednesday, Sept. 16. The pages showcase the Armored Avenger in a battle with Terrax the Terrible; the ensuing fight sends them crashing into a satellite. As he fights, Tony talks to his new AI -- B.O.S.S -- about withdrawing from Stark Industries and "getting back to his roots". Getting back to Iron Man's roots has served as the center of Cantwell's vision for the series. To that end, Tony is donning a new suit of armor designed by veteran artist Alex Ross (who also created the cover) and facing classic threats, including the cosmically-powered Michael Korvac.
