Oh the everything outside is frightful...

How about a little escapism, idk

Hello friends!

Welcome to another edition of whatever this thing is. This’ll be quick, I promise. Mostly, just want to share that my Black Cat short, via Women of Marvel #1, will be in comic book stores across the country on March 9! You’ll also be able to purchase it digitally if you don’t want to make the retail trek :D

WOMEN OF MARVEL #1 Cover by MIRKA ANDOLFO

People have been saying some awfully nice things about it if you are on the fence.

 Opening the issue is part one of a five-part, one-page-per-chapter story by Preeti Chhibber focused on Black Cat. It’s a great way to give the anthology a bit of structure and a backbone to lean on. As the preview shows, Chhibber is going to walk us through a few jobs Black Cat took on that didn’t go so well. Not only does Chhibber capture Black Cat’s voice well, but each chapter shows us a clever job or twist on the narrative as Black Cat walks us through each one via captions. - David Brook, AIPT

But the highlight of the one-shot is the overarching story “Four Jobs Felicia Hated (And One She Didn’t),” which features the Black Cat. True to the story’s title, writer Preeti Chhibber explores five heists that Felicia Hardy has pulled off and how four of them ended in relative disaster. Each job is illustrated by a different artist, to boot. “Bad Job #1” is illustrated by Eleonora Carlini and colored by Rachelle Rosenberg, “Bad Job #2” is illustrated by Claire Roe and colored by Rosenberg, “Bad Job #3” is illustrated and colored by Jen Bartel, and “Bad Job #4” is illustrated and colored by Marguerite Sauvage. Finally, both parts of “The One She Didn’t” are illustrated by Ann Maulina and colored by Rosenberg. “Four Jobs Felicia Hated (And One She Didn’t)” is at times hilarious, action-packed, and emotional, and sometimes all three, depending on the job Black Cat takes up. Chhibber gets how complex Felicia is as a character. - Collier “CJ” Jennings, But Why Tho

Here’s a sneak peek, featuring art by Marguerite Sauvage:

Will be back with a real newsletter SOON, hopefully with some preorder plans, and maybe even an exciting give-away. But in the mean time — thank you, as always, for reading.
