I liked this one more. Willa trying to walk normally was hilarious, as was the bouncer crying about Willa's jab about sleeping with his gravboots on.

"MY LOW-G LIFE," Part Two
Willa's Dad claims he knows how to fix the world. Willa thinks he's a crazy old man. The truth lies down on the Streets, where the rich live, staying as far away from the deadly sky as possible. There they use the latest technology to pretend G-day never happened. And Willa quickly discovers they aren't friendly to out...
This was a quick, decent read. The premise is interesting. Art was good. The main character isn't as likeable yet as I would've hoped, but I'll give it time for her to grow on me.

"MY LOW-G LIFE," Part One: One day, gravity on earth suddenly became a fraction of what it is now. Twenty years later, humanity has adapted to its new low-gravity reality. And to Willa Fowler, a woman born just after G-day, it's...well, it's pretty awesome, actually. You can fly through the air! I mean, sure, you can also die if you jump too high. ...
A pretty predictable and not all that memorable ending. Mackay's run on Black Cat should've ended with the giant sized finale to the previous run. This mini didn't do enough to justify its existence in my humble opinion.
Iron Cat #5
Tony Stark's legacy is being set on fire by Sunset Bain. She's corrupted all of his armor and everything he's built since his very first weapon. And it's all Black Cat's fault. Now, Iron Man and Felicia Hardy (in her own Iron Cat armor) are fighting for their lives against the Hulkbuster armor and every other Iron Man armor in existence. This is no...
Uninspired. Too wordy, too much science mumbo-jumbo, unfunny jokes, and not nearly enough happening other than a long chase scene.
Iron Cat #4
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!
Tamara is pretty dense, isn't she?
Iron Cat #3
IRON CAT vs. IRON CAT?!
Tony Stark and Felicia Hardy aren't going to let the mysterious wearer of the Iron Cat armor have all the fun.
Nope, Tony has done his own spin on the Iron Cat armor, and Felicia may like some of his innovations.

THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG!
Iron Cat has it out for Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, and will stop at nothing to tear Felicia down.
Meanwhile, all hell has broken loose at Stark Unlimited after Iron Cat broke in to steal the armor.
Iron Man and Black Cat join forces to stop their mutual enemy! This is one team-up you do NOT want to mis...
This was a fine opener. Jed Mackay's writing of Felicia is on par with the previous run, so if you dug that then you'll dig this. The villain seems pretty one-dimensional with unoriginal motives, so that's a bit of a letdown, but oh well. Tony was written well here. I got a chuckle when he followed through on his petty threat to turn the sprinklers on Felicia.
Iron Cat #1
The Iron Cat armor made its first appearance in BLACK CAT #11 but both Black Cat and Iron Man thought that was the last they would see of it. If Felicia is surprised to see the armor again, you can imagine how furious Tony is. There's someone new in the Iron Cat armor and they have a plan that will put them in the crosshairs of all the heroes of th...
I wasn't liking the direction in the last few issues, but this finale was actually rather good. I really loved Felicia gathering together an insane amount of power with the infinity stones just to use it for a seemingly mundane personal reason in saving her Mom who has cancer. It was a really clever twist that I didn't see coming but that really landed for me emotionally. While it was a tad rushed more
Giant-Size Black Cat: Infinity Score #1
This is it, the grand climax to INFINITE DESTINIES and INFINITY SCORE and the totality of BLACK CAT from the past two years, all in this oversize special!
Black Cat has brought half of the Infinity Stones together, collecting a level of power that hasn't been seen in years! But to what end?
This hasn't taken her out of the crosshairs o...
This series seems directionless at this point. I get that it might've been cancelled too soon, but the whole story seemed to shift after the stuff with the Black Fox. Now it seems like the story doesn't know what it wants to be.
Black Cat #10
INFINITY SCORE continues!
Infinity Stones are incredibly powerful but only get more so when in proximity to the other stones.
Felicia Hardy has gathered three out of the six, and the Marvel Universe may be completely hosed.

"INFINITY SCORE" Continues!
• The hottest new character of the last five years, STAR, brings her reality-warping powers to bear in THE BLACK CAT!

• This caper is a deadly journey across Seoul, where she comes face to face with Taegukgi, White Fox and Tiger Division (from TASKMASTER #3)!
• And what doe...
I actually quite liked the storytelling method in this issue of having Felicia sitting down with Fox and recounting how she went about saving Manhattan. I thought that the Fox should've probably been a little more peeved or scared at losing his immortality since he was willing to condemn an entire city in order to get it. I also am not a fan of Felicia and Odessa getting together. It just doesn't more
Black Cat #7
• Black Cat's actions of the last few years make her rethink who she is.
• The price of all the things Felicia and the Black Fox have stolen is finally tallied and the bill is due.
• And when a bill involves items from the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Iron Fist and Wolverine, you can't exa...
Black Cat #6
THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG!
• Now that the Black Cat and the Black Fox have completed their heist, what does it mean for their standing in NYC?
• For one thing, Felicia comes face to face with Spider-Man, and if you think he's going to be okay with what she's done, you've got another think coming.

This finale really didn't land for me. The pace was WAY too quick, the dialogue was absolutely atrocious, and certain plot points just made no sense. Not to mention the several loose ends that were left. This comic started out strong, but it became clear that all it really had to offer was over-the-top violence and a vaguely promising mystery, although that violence grew stale after a while and th more
