Having just given up on Ann Nocenti's Green Arrow arch and jumped straight to Jeff Lemire's, I was wondering about Nocenti: can anyone here recommend something that Nocenti has written?
I read some Catwoman and couldn't take to it. Also read the Joker's Daughter one-shot and that was terrible. Nocenti has worked for the Big Two since the eighties so she must have some good stuff and I refuse to write someone off without digging a little deeper.
Little help anyone?

I think I read she did a run on Daredevil... Other than that from the recent work of Joker's Daughter, Green Arrow, Catwoman, I can't be bothered to check what good stories she may have written. The less said the better?

The less said the better? It's got me curious and I'm sure someone has read a decent Nocenti run on something. Thanks for the input though. |

Just read her Daredevil which i am not reading for 2 reasons.
1. I have read previews of her work and it was terrible.
2. Bad reviews

heh. I was REALLY curious to see what this thread would entail.
I suffered through the entire Winnick run of Catwoman and was SO happy to hear that a new creative team was taking over. Then...Nocenti happened. I gave it a try, honestly I dig but I dropped the title after the Death of the Family tie in which made no sense at all and, despite being something of a completist, decided not to get the Gothtopia crossover because her name was on the cover (but did get the Layman-penned Zero year which was really enjoyable and bloody fantastic in comparison).
I've heard from a few folks that her Daredevil stuff is good so may be the Typhoid Mary arc is worth checking out? Personally, I am a little gun shy now.

Thanks, rgsc. I'll hunt this Daredevil run down as it seems to be the Nocenti work everyone is pointing towards.

Yeah I only know her from Green Arrow and Catwoman, both of which I just couldn't stand. I'm hoping they do for Catwoman what they did for Green Arrow. Because I was so exicted at the prospect of a female writing my favourite female character, but so far in all the years of Catwoman comics the only person to get her spot on was Ed Brubaker. There's not many writers who I will avoid, I'll always give something a try. But when I see Ann Nocenti's name I stay well away now.
