Rated T
The cleanly episodic nature of MacKays first year of Black Cat works well with the long pause for COVID. The overall tension looming in the background of Felicias life seems to have hung around in the shadows. As the character might well have been planning her heist with her accomplices while in lockdown. Many other titles hit the comics rack this month with a sudden jolt of a million, little subplots that shoot out of the page in mid-stride. Its nice to see Black Cat jumping out of the quarantined shadows with something fresh that continues to expand on everything thats happened in the past year without any graceless lurching at plot points.

Unfortunately for Black Cat, her patsy can't keep Iron Man busy indefinitely preventing her to make it out of the building with her new bounty. However, while in the Nanoforge, she's able to create one other thing which should lead to an equally fun follow-up issue. Read Full Review
I have said it before, but this book for me has been the surprise hit of the last year. For all their problems, when Marvel get it right, boy do they get it right! Read Full Review
Felicia Hardy's latest scheme matches her up against Tony Stark and his company. Watching the Black Cat run rings around Iron Man and his supporting cast is a delight. C.B. Villa delivers beautiful art to support the usual endearing charm of Jed MacKay's script. This has become one of Marvel's most reliable and enjoyable titles. Like its star, it knows exactly what it wants to do and it always does it well. Read Full Review
It'd be easy to overlook a series like Black Cat, particularly when its hypersexualized covers don't really reflect the tone of the story inside " but you'd be making a big mistake. This series has been consistently fun and engaging, covering the Marvel Universe from the point of view of an unorthodox underdog. Mackay and Villa deserve plenty of credit for delivering such an entertaining series, and it's something that should be added to your pull list as soon as possible. Read Full Review
Final Thoughts: While Black Cat isn't the most well-known character or biggest selling book by any means, it remains one of the best monthly books that Marvel puts out. It's a quick, fun read that has me waiting for issue number 12 very impatiently!! Read Full Review
I liked this issue thanks to the playful nature of the heist plotting. It's also fun to see a few characters give it to the overly inflated ego of Tony Stark. This is great heist comics. Read Full Review
Tony Stark thinks he's so smart, but here, Felicia Hardy takes him and his little company for a ride. Read Full Review
Black Cat #11 is a strong example why this series is one of the best comic books that Marvel is currently publishing. Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa combine to tell a fun story as Felicia Hardy leads her team in what may be their biggest heist to date as they take on Tony Stark. The interaction between Felicia and Tony shines even brighter thanks to how MacKay frames the plan the former executes in order to make this heist successful. MacKay and Villa end Black Cat #11 with a final page that immediately gets you hyped for the next issue. Read Full Review
It eventually spirals into yet another version of the "people in Marvel comics get Iron Man armor" stories, and that's just something no one wants to see again. Read Full Review
The next chunk of tech required for Felicia's bigger scheme can only come out of Stark Unlimited; cue the breathless bamboozlement of Iron Man. Jed MacKay is still in perfect form and artist C.F. Villa makes a welcome addition to the show with his scruffy but impeccably-designed characters and panels. I continue to just love this comic to pieces; it's reliably the most enjoyable read of the week for me.
The look on Tony’s face when she called him a coward will live in my heart forever.
This series is just a whole lot of fun.
Whoa, that ending.
