Ryan White Comic Reviews

This is a very strong transitional issue as we get Black Cat interacting with other members of the Marvel universe she ordinarily wouldn't, all while staying true to her character and snarky attitude. The conversation with her and the AI was a highlight, and we never forget; even with all of the comedy in this issue, it never takes away the fact that the world hangs in the balance. This is a high-stakes mission, and Black Cat handles it the only way she knows how: with luck and nine lives.

The penultimate issue breezes by, and as the reader, I feel the danger almost immediately when we go to the island after the Hell Boy recap (Which I genuinely appreciate). I can look at the doctor and tell he is off; I know Smitty is screwed, and Santiago will need backup as soon as possible. The glimmer of hope is that Ghost Leopard and the Devil's Swarm are on the island as well, who I feel will play a crucial role in the final part of this story. I have always loved a good penultimate episode or issue, and for me this delivers. I would highly recommend picking this issue up, as I will be picking up the first two issues and going all the way with this story.
