“Undead — and Loving It / Wild Things“
Late at night, high above on the rooftops of the Gotham Natural History Museum, Catwoman flees from her latest heist. The silver spear was easy to remove from the stone sarcophagus but getting it past the weird priest looking dudes armed with machine guns was a bit more difficult. As she exits a broken skylight above, the sounds of gunshots erupt below her. Fortunately for Catwoman the bullets are not aimed in her direction. The armed Holy Men begin to fire their weapons at the thing emerging from the sarcophagus.
Several blocks away at the Gotham bus station, Nina Skorzeny, also known as the Scream Queen, exits bus number 666 after a several day commute. Arnold Burnsteel felt the young vampire would be safe mixed in with the local scum and degenerates. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Nina becomes depressed as she walks the trash filled streets looking for her contact. She doesn’t like the smell of breathers, it is worse when they are unbathed.
After several encounters with hoodlums Nina uses one of her dark powers to camouflage herself. A black cat begins to slink up a fire escape into an open window. Inside a lavish apartment Scream Queen finds herself in the company of several other cats. Puuurfect!

Reviewer Notes
This was an awesome issue! All the different groups come together to track down Nina, but Catwoman gets in the mix. I would recommend this book even if you are not a Scare Tactics fan. There are a lot of supernatural events happening in Batman’s backyard. Five stars for this issue!
