REVIEW: Black Cat #9 — "Another Fascinating, Entertaining Adventure"
(Marvel Comics, creative team: Jed McKay, Kris Anka, Brian Reber, Ferran Delgado)
The long con to steal from an impossible vault continues with a trip to "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" called Madripoor. As the cover reveals, the person she has to rob is not a customer to take lightly, and when he pops up the story takes an engaging yet unexpected direction. To say much more would ruin the numerous fun twists and surprises, but writer Jed McKay continues to defy expectations with another fascinating, entertaining adventure. The visual storytelling from Anka, Reber and Delgado is flirty and gorgeously clean and great fun at every step. This series is an unsung gem and this issue is another gleaming facet of excellence. RATING: BUY.
