Marvel Comics is gearing up to celebrate Pride Month with a giant-sized one-shot showcasing some of the Marvel Universe's most iconic LGBTQI+ heroes in an incredible range of stories by LGBTQI+ superstars and emerging talent. Today, a variant cover has been unveiled for Marvel's Voices: Pride by Eisner-winning artist Jen Bartel showcasing the Black Cat's complicated love life.
The piece shows Black Cat putting away the claws and bringing out the charm as she’s caught between two lovers - Peter Parker and Thieves Guild Leader, Odessa Drake!
Felicia's romantic history and rivalry with Odessa Drake was explored by writer Jed MacKay in his back-to-back acclaimed runs on Black Cat. Next, MacKay will continue his defining work on the hero alongside artist Pere Pérez in Iron Cat. Also launching during Pride Month, the all-new limited series will see Black Cat teaming up with Iron Man to discover who is wielding the Iron Cat armour.
During their team-up to find out what their plans for Felicia are, we'll find out the identity of Iron Cat in this exciting new chapter for one of Marvel’s leading heroines. Do you think it’s Odessa in that armour?
We'll see, but Black Cat remains one of Spider-Man's most popular love interests and allies. Unfortunately, that dynamic has never been explored on the big screen, and the closes we've come to seeing Felicia in live-action is when Felicity Jones seemingly played her in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Check out Bartel's cover below and stay tuned for more announcements and cover reveals!
