Felicia Hardy: The Black Cat #2

The second chapter of this 1994 limited series puts Felicia Hardy front and center — literally, as the cover shows Black Cat reeling from a powerful energy blast delivered by a sleek, dark-suited figure who is none other than the newly introduced Faze, whose "phantasmagorical villainy" the bottom banner proudly heralds. Andrew Wildman and Stephen Baskerville bring real kinetic energy to the confrontation, rendering Felicia's signature white hair whipping back as she absorbs the hit with unmistakable attitude. With Terry Kavanagh and Joey Cavalieri steering "Chimera Lost, Part Two: First Strike," this issue promises a Marvel limited series living up to its own boast of unlimited action.
