  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  Wilson is really good on a couple of different levels. The individual stories that she's working with have a definite weight and balance about them. But the cereal that they're fitting into is also really well fall out and remarkably well paste. This is the same with Black Cat as it is with Poison Ivy over at DC. it will be interesting to see the white. Wilson is able to deal with Captain Marvel as well when she picks-up the writing of that title in May. And it’s also interesting to note…Black Cat was addressing the readers directly when White Queen walked-in on her. Emma seemed more or less oblivious to the reader when she walked-on. That’s an interesting distinction for Wilson to make.The contrast there is kind of fun. Wilson handles it with casually graceful style that continues to be fun. It’s always cool hanging out with a character who knows your there on the other side of the comic book page and doesn’t mind saying hello every now and then. Read Full Review

The narrative and art of this issue alone is enough to make you understand why Marvel has extended the series twice and why it was nominated for an Eisner Award. The Black Cat is back and she’s looking for a way to spend her nine lives! Read Full Review
