    But if they were to let MJ have MJ have her own stories without super-hero battles while Felicia is the one who does that, then it could work.

    To be honest I feel like that would make it sound like MJ is a supporting character in a Black Cat book, so I would assume they would actually give her her own story than just making her function in Felicia's stories.
    You don't put a supporting character's name on the main title like that, considering super-hero comics have the comic have the protagonist's name or codename in it (Or both), MJ having her name in it means she's sharing the title with Felicia.

    Of course, they could go for a "Black Cat and Mary Jane but Mary Jane is actually just a supporting character", but that's false advertisement, which's, nothing new for comic books, but I would rather they don't do that, still a possibility unfortunately.

    She wouldn't be the tech person, more the face of the pair that would help where she could without crossing any big lines...

    Most of what MJ accomplished in this comic was due to having Felicia by her side. The Nefaria and Shocker stuff was more gags than anything else.

    At least I don't expect McKay to get as ridiculous as the Savage Six fight (I know, I know...Shocker, but still).

    Kind of like Superman and Lois, although I guess that would still make it seem like a Black Cat book since it's a Superman show at the end of the day...but still .

    Yeah, no. The issue was fun, but seeing MJ climbing a skyscraper and jumping off like it was nothing was ridiculous. I can see why wankers liked it so much, tho.

    Yeah, true enough.

    Issue was awesome but I don't see enough material for an ongoing. I think the reason it worked so well is that Felicia and MJ haven't had all that much interaction between them. Really make me miss the Black Cat ongoing. MacKay just gets her.

    It's more like the Veronica & Cheryl Blossom series as Gwen and Mary Jane were supposed to be Betty & Veronica.

    It was building up every time Felicia complained about redheads in her solo book .

    Yeah, you know those people that only open a comicbook when a hot half naked woman is on the cover? Exactly the target Marvel was aiming at with this issue.

    Sad if that was all they were opening it for, because Felicia and Mary Jane not only had some great and hilarious banter, but they also had some great actual bonding moments towards the end. Both of them having been written off by some in-universe (which I'd interpret as a nod to how some in the fandom and among Marvel's creative/professional talent treated and viewed them in the past) as just "the bad girls" was a surprising bit of insight and commonality I wasn't expecting from this story, though I rather enjoyed it.

    might as well have an ongoing. have fun. take them to different cities. have an ongoing gag as to which celebrity/wealthy guys recognize/pay attention to Felicia vs. Mary in a given setting. (Felicia definitely keeps track).
