Iron Cat #1

/ / Comics

Iron Cat #1 picks up a thread from two Black Cat series ago where Felicia Hardy created and stole her own version of armor from Tony Stark as part of the Black Fox’s final score. Now someone else has got that armor and are after the Black Cat.

As the Black Cat attempts to steal a diamond for the second time, the issue provides flashbacks to the first attempt more than a decade ago when she was still working with the Black Fox and Tamara Blake who blames Felicia for the Black Fox’s death and is out for revenge.

The Amazing Spider-Man #89

/ / Comics

Ben Reilly has disappeared. Beyond‘s Queen Goblin is still attacking The Daily Bugle. After leaving Peter in the hospital, convinced he’s still not ready, Black Cat arrives to make the save. However when that fails, Peter arrives in the nick of time to save both Black Cat and Mary Jane.

Although we don’t see him in action, other than a quick save to save a confused Black Cat from taking a 60-story swan dive onto the pavement, The Amazing Spider-Man #89 offers us Peter Parker back in costume for the first time in several issues. With his stand-in missing, the comic falls back on an old Spidey trope with our hero out-gunned and his back against the wall. Can Spider-Man, still far less than 100%, save the day? Or will his return be short-lived and need an even longer hospital stay to recover this time?

Black Cat #10

/ / Comics

Although Black Cat does manage to negotiate the assistance of another of the Infinity Stones hosts in the silent Quantum, the issue is more about what happens afterwards due to run-ins with Nighthawk, Nick Fury, Jr.,  and Odessa Drake who is less than keen on Felicia’s current plans.

The appearance of Nighthawk feels a bit out of place for those of us ignoring Heroes Reborn but it does provide something of a red herring for Fury who wrongly suspects the two are working on Nighthawk’s plan to bring back that alternate reality.

Black Cat #9

/ / Comics

Black Cat #9 comic review“Infinity Score” continues with a talkie second issue to the arc. After stealing Star from Nick Fury, Jr., Black Cat attempts to convince the super-powered newbie to help her out while searching for her next target and making him a similar offer.

Despite being overpowered in this issue, Felicia is in total control giving Star just enough reason to stick around and tempting her with the possibility of boosting her powers when she comes into contact with others who have bonded with Infinity Stones. Swooping in to save Overtime from what he believed were more of Fury’s goons also earns her a bit of good will on mark number two.
