Black Cat #9

While helping Mary Jane Waston steal from a secret vault in the Negative Zone, Felicia and MJ find themselves pulled into an alternate reality and given to chance to live without costumes and capes, heroes and villains, and explore lives which might have been. For Felicia that means marriage and kids with a Peter Parker never bit by a radioactive spider, and for MJ that means the acting stardom she’s always dreamed of. It’s a great life… for awhile.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Sssilent Missions (Baroness)

Continuing to honor the original “Silent Interlude” issue from G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #21 published in 1984, Image and Skybound offer up another in a series of silent issue one-shots featuring different characters. This time, with a little snake humor added to the title, we get the Baroness. While it’s a little hard to make out exactly what the plans were for each character before chaos ensues, they are beautifully drawn.
