Its cool that Black Cat will be one of the characters featured in the LGBT Pride month variant covers. As Marvel's only openly LGBT character with their own ongoing solo title at the moment, its good that she is being acknowledged for this.

when was this aspect of her revealed? what comics..?

Implied in a page/panel in Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do, where she remarked in her inner narration about not having a boyfriend or girlfriend at the time. Also, hinted in the last Black Cat series by Jed MacKay, a flashback to her days training as a thief under Black Fox, where she was sitting quite (intimately) close to another woman, and the narration over that flashback was talking about love and/or lovers. Then MC2 Spider-Girl outright had Felicia divorced from Flash Thompson and in a romantic partnership with a woman, who might well be her wife by modern legal standards, since MC2 was set roughly 15 years ahead of then-current Marvel continuity.

It would be, but I've really wanted to see Silk and Black Cat interact again post crime boss Black Cat. Especially because Cindy spent so much effort trying to convince crime boss Felicia that she wasn't a bad person. I'm honestly surprised they haven't run across each other recently.

I too would like to see Cindy and Felicia cross paths again now that Felicia has finally turned her life back around.

A team up between Black Cat, Silk and Mockingbird could be fun, given how at one point Silk was the one caught in the middle of Mockingbird's attempts to bring down Black Cat's "Queenpin" empire. Now the three of them can all be on the same side.

Given that Bobbi ended up going on to date Spidey briefly after that, it works out to a rather weird trio: Spider-Man's future girlfriend employed his (at the time) current "friend-with-benefits" to spy on and help capture his ex-girlfriend. Oh what a complicated web Spidey's love life weaves.

Indeed. It's rather hilarious in retrospect.

Not Cindy and Bobbi's finest relationship moments .

It kind of looks like he's looking at the jewelry instead .

Guess it depends on whether he considers Felicia a jewel or not....

Black Cat debuted in Spider-Man, was romantically involved with Spider-Man for a good amount of time afterward, and despite them breaking up, she was still a part of his life and he a part of hers. Plus, it's not the first time Spider-Man has guest-starred in her series; see the Black Cat Annual where they pretended to get married to fool the Maggia. And if you want to see him in Captain Marvel so badly, wait till issue #27, which sees him among her super-friends trying to comfort her spoilers:

after she broke up with War Machine in the last issue.

end of spoilers



True enough.

I am willing to bet that Spidey will not appear in Captain Marvel #27. I doubt that Thompson will ever include Peter Parker during her run on Captain Marvel, as she's continuing that the path that Kelly Sue Decconnick left off.

"Sorry boys, better luck next time" .

Does sound like there's finally going to be a reckoning for Felicia stealing from a bunch of heroes with no consequences...
