Black Cat

Iron Cat #4

Iron Cat #4 continues the comic’s opening arc with the betrayal of Madame Menace now loose and planning to destroy the world and Tamara Blake forced to work with Black Cat and Iron Man to try to fix the mess she caused in her quest for revenge. While giving us the “apparent” death of Blake, there’s plenty of misdirection here and it certainly wouldn’t surprise me to see her pop back up before the arc concludes.

Iron Cat #3

The battle between Black Cat and Tamara Blake continues as each counters the other’s latest move while neither is able to make the knockout blow. Tamara springs the trap laid by Felicia and Iron Man only to reveal her new partner taking control of Tony Stark’s LMDs leading to Black Cat donning a secret second set of armor (in classic red and yellow) to fight the Iron Cat.

Iron Cat #2

The team -up of of Black Cat and Iron Man begins as the unlikely duo begin to work together to stop Tamara Blake and retrieve the Iron Cat armor she stole in order to avenge their shared mentor the Black Fox. The second issue fills in gaps for readers, offering us flashbacks to Felicia and Tamara’s shared past and plenty of examples how both characters think and act leading Felicia to set the kind of trap for her old friend she knows Tamara can’t ignore.

Iron Cat #1

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

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?
