Black Cat's solo series will return later this year, and will see Felicia attempting to pull off the biggest heist of her life. The issue will tie into The King In Black event, as the titular Black Cat will have to steal an item from none other than the Symbiote God Knull.
"I told you we weren't cancelled! Check your Christmas lists, because this December BLACK CAT is back with a brand-new #1- but remember, if we're going with legacy numbering, that puts us smack on Unlucky Number 13, and when you're talking about Felicia Hardy, you know bad luck is her constant companion," writer Jed Mackay told ComicBook.com. "Usually it's something for other folks to worry about, of course, but this time... well, the last thing you need when you're in the final phases of planning the job of a lifetime is an alien invasion. KING IN BLACK comes crashing into Felicia's world to mess everything up, and it's not like Felicia didn't hate all that symbiote business already."
McKay had previously said that the title was taking a hiatus; he also teased that future issues would see Felicia don a new costume and finally attempt to rob the Thieves' Guild. The previous issues had seen her encountering multiple characters in the Marvel Universe, including Iron Man and the Fantastic Four.
