Black Cat #6

/ / Comics

Black Cat #6 comic reviewThe theme of Black Cat #6 is deals with the devil, so to speak. After the Black Fox‘s deal with the Guilded Saint, the Black Cat finds herself immortal but also watches as all of Manhattan begins being pulled into the Saint’s lair as payment. Needing help, Felicia goes to the last person anyone would expect: Odessa Drake, the head of the New York branch of the Thieves Guild who Felicia was robbing to set-up the chain of events.

The issue includes a cameo of Spider-Man seeing Black Cat in the chaos. The cameo fits well into the story as it showcases another loss for Felicia whose heart breaks when lying to her former lover (and seeing him not question her word). That, along with her violent reaction to the Fox’s betrayal (yikes, remind me never to double-cross Felicia Hardy), leaves Felicia in emotional turmoil.

The Invincible Red Sonja #1 comic reviewA new adventure begins for Red Sonja starting aboard a plundering pirate ship whose victims include a princess on her way to a royal wedding. Although Sonja saves the princess from the pirates, the young woman escapes into the sea which turns out to be a better fate than the pirates who run into sirens and all die a horrible death. Still, it offers more enemies for Sonja to slay.

Fate brings the half-drowned Sonja and Princess Zaria together again, this time with the princess offering Sonja a job to protect her until the culmination of her wedding to unite two kingdoms. Sonja accepts, but from the prelude tease that opens the issue it sounds like this job may be far more difficult than she believes.
