Following Spider-Man’s defeat at the hands of new supervillain Hellgate in upcoming issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Felicia Hardy steps up to the plate as the friendly neighborhood Black Cat in an all-new ongoing series by superstar writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel) and rising star artist Gleb Melnikov (Amazing Spider-Man).

Today, fans can check out all the covers for the debut issue!

Scott Campbell, also contributes a cover, part of his upcoming Just Spectacular Collection. Stay tuned later this week for more information on this exciting new cover series.
SUPER-THIEF, SUPER…HERO?!
Felicia Hardy is the BLACK CAT, the world’s slyest and most skilled super-thief! She loves a good score. The longer the odds – the better! But her entire world turned upside down after Spider-Man’s battle with Hellgate, so Felicia is turning over a new leaf as New York City’s newest…super hero?! The first super villain on her list – THE LIZARD! But will the Black Cat risk it all after her do-gooding moral high ground attracts dangerous attention from the lowest of the city’s underworld? Easy, Kingpin of Crime, she’s still skimming off the top – honest!
“Felicia decides to fight crime for entirely self-interested reasons–something fishy is going on with Spider-Man, and as a result, some new riff-raff starts elbowing in on her territory, so she decides to pick up the slack,”. “But going from being perceived as a bad guy to being perceived as a folk hero goes to her head–and that’s where the trouble starts.”
