Black Cat #11

Black Cat #11, released in 2020, stands as a notable chapter in the series written by Jed MacKay and illustrated by C.F. Villa. This issue serves as a tie-in to the 'King in Black' crossover event, which saw the Marvel Universe besieged by the symbiotic god Knull. The narrative focus remains on Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, as she navigates the chaos of the invasion while pursuing her own high-stakes heist goals, effectively balancing the grounded criminal nature of the character with the escalating cosmic stakes of the broader event.

The creative direction for this series emphasized Felicia Hardy’s agency and wit, moving away from her traditional role as a mere foil to Spider-Man. C.F. Villa’s dynamic and sleek art style complements the fast-paced, caper-driven scripts provided by MacKay. Upon its release, the issue was generally well-regarded for maintaining the series' established tone despite being pulled into a major crossover, with critics praising the team's ability to keep the character's personal mission front and center during the global crisis.
