Following Spider-Man’s defeat at the hands of new supervillain Hellgate in upcoming issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Felicia Hardy steps up to the plate as the friendly neighborhood Black Cat in an all-new ongoing series by superstar writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel) and rising star artist Gleb Melnikov (Amazing Spider-Man). Launching in August, this exciting new chapter sees Black Cat test her luck as a super hero, battling some of Spider-Man’s fiercest villains between her usual high-stakes heists.
Wilson explained in a recent interview with ComicBook.com.
“Felicia decides to fight crime for entirely self-interested reasons–something fishy is going on with Spider-Man, and as a result, some new riff-raff starts elbowing in on her territory, so she decides to pick up the slack,” “But going from being perceived as a bad guy to being perceived as a folk hero goes to her head–and that’s where the trouble starts.”
Now check out all the covers for the debut issue!
In addition to Adam Hughes’ stunning main cover, BLACK CAT #1 will feature a special Foil Variant Cover by Terry Dodson as well as pieces by a lineup of top-selling artists: Derrick Chew, Simone Di Meo, Peach Momoko and Jeehyung Lee. Chew and Lee’s covers will also be available as Virgin Variant Covers. One of Black Cat’s defining artists, J. Scott Campbell, also contributes a cover, part of his upcoming Just Spectacular Collection.

SUPER-THIEF, SUPER…HERO?!
Felicia Hardy is the BLACK CAT, the world’s slyest and most skilled super-thief! She loves a good score. The longer the odds – the better! But her entire world turned upside down after Spider-Man’s battle with Hellgate, so Felicia is turning over a new leaf as New York City’s newest…super hero?! The first super villain on her list – THE LIZARD! But will the Black Cat risk it all after her do-gooding moral high ground attracts dangerous attention from the lowest of the city’s underworld? Easy, Kingpin of Crime, she’s still skimming off the top – honest!
