Avengers #23

While not as fun as stealing her own suit of armor underneath Tony Stark's nose, the Black Cat being hired by Kang to steal some important doohickey from the Grandmaster kept in some sort of galactic casino (while outmaneuvering the Avengers) has its moments (most notably in Kang recruiting the thief and in the late reveal of Felicia's cost for helping the villain).

Fans of Black Cat should have fun here, even if the story opens at the end of the heist just as the getaway has begun, but I wasn't all that into any of the rather large amount of Avengers (seriously, how big is this team?) other than seeing them get stymied by various obstacles cooked up by Felicia and Kang. Also, I'm not sure how to rectify the Tony Stark we see here in some pretty uninteresting armor versus the one in West Coast Avengers fully embracing his 90s nostalgia. Not sure I'll stick around to see this play out, but it was fun to see Felicia get the better of old Shellhead one more time.

[Marvel, $3.99]
