Everything about this series just continues to click and get better with every single issue that is released.

Truly a masterclass of the levels all superhero adjacent comic books should be aiming for. Read Full Review
High stakes, impressive feats of character for the Black Cat, and a double crossing by a Val Kilmer Black Fox that will have you asking whats next! Read Full Review
A few slip-ups aside, MacKays work on Black Cat has been delightful. The sixth issue in the series continues to show the writers gift for emotional intricacy. Felicia is one of the more interesting characters in the Marvel Universe right now, and a lot of her appeal seems to be coming directly from MacKay. Read Full Review
If Black Cat #5 offered an elegance to the heist, then Black Cat #6 is all brash and bold and it's perfect for this chapter of the story. Read Full Review
Furthermore, it's interesting to see Felicias inner dialogue while she's traveling through Manhattan and her thoughts on Spider-Man. Some issues that are not plot-heavy can feel like they drag on, but Black Cat #6 was a very enjoyable read. I can see the foundation the creators are setting for the next issues to come for an epic showdown. Read Full Review
Now working alongside Odessa Drake, the rival who Felicia has been antagonizing ever since the first issue of the last volume of Black Cat, can Felicia play the hero and save all of Manhattan from the Black Fox's devil bargain? And, if so, what will the cost be? Read Full Review
Whether she's facing the literal end of the world or a more personal, metaphorical apocalypse, I trust the Black Cat to face the music with courage, wit, and audacity. That's exactly what her creators set her up to do in this issue. Though the art rubbed me very much the wrong way, it still harmonized with the excellent script to deliver an enthralling story and keep me fully committed to following Felicia Hardy.

As much I love this book, I am glad that we are seemingly getting towards the end of the Cat and the Fox caper. Bring on the next challenges for Felicia! Read Full Review
Mercifully this is generally free of the identity politics currently bedevilling the comics world.
GREAT Mag! Great story. I have been a fan of Felicia Hardy for yewars since Spiderman 258 when Petey's symbiote suit webs Felicia to stop her from leaving. I just wish the artists could be brave enough to present distinctive boobs and anatomically correct features. No I am not asking for naked. But the art of Felicia sometimes looks unfinished. Political correctness always wins I know. 9 out of 10.
The fallout from the heist-gone-wrong is fully unpacked, and Felicia finds herself in a world of trouble. Friends become enemies and enemies become allies and the race is on to save Manhattan, with Felicia trying to shoulder as much of the burden as possible. The dialogue is priceless; I love it to pieces. The plot slows down toward the end, though, and I'm not really enjoying the art. I almost always dislike "celebrity stunt casting" in comics, and the most notable thing about this example is that it's difficult to swipe celebrity likenesses while also delivering so little detail.
This is a really good issue that went by way too fast.
I liked this one but they should've kissed.
I'm trying to like this book but just can't get into it. I'll check back later.
