MADAME MENACE STRIKES!
Iron Cat's vendetta against Felicia Hardy has produced some deadly consequences. Tony Stark's old nemesis, the sinister A.I. known as Madame Menace, has been unleashed!
'Iron Cat' ups the ante once more as the simple revenge/heist story takes a dramatic turn into a more superhero-like realm as the entire world's fate is at stake. There is something just genuinely captivating about a gorgeous slick sexy colorful series that wears its heart on its sleeve in between all the best zingers and banter while helping solidify the upper-tier status that Black Cat deserves in this universe.

MacKay and company toss around three heroes in powered armor fighting amidst a whole bunch of villains in similar powered armor, and it becomes apparent why dogfights are so difficult to bring to the page or screen in a way that feels dynamic. There are only so many angles that aerial combat can manage before it starts to look kind of dull and disinteresting. MacKay has four really intriguing characters to work with. Its fun stuff, but it seems to stall a bit in its fourth chapter. Read Full Review

In the most action-packed issue yet, 'Iron Cat' raises the stakes as Tony, Felicia, and Tamara try to push past their feelings and save the world. Read Full Review
It remains to be seen if this new narrative focus goes in an interesting direction in the future, but I'm pretty let down by how Iron Cat #4 has panned out purely because of how predictable it has become. Read Full Review
It still looks great and it's scripted well, but this issue pulled my enjoyment down a couple notches.
First, Tony gets the PoV. It's not done badly by any means. But there are dozens of people who can write a good Tony Stark; how many people can write Jed MacKay's Felicia?
Second, we're barrelling into "it's act 3 of the heist movie so the storytellers are straight-up gonna lie to us to conceal the scheme" territory. It's impossible to take any of the "shocking" twists at the end of this issue seriously.
The variant cover with the cat is so cute.
It feels more like a team up book at this point but it still has the Felicia Charm.
Also the art for the iron-man like action is fantastic. Pere Perez should be drawing an Iron-Man book.
