    IRON CAT #5 (OF 5)

    Writer: Jed MacKay
    Artist: Pere Pérez
    Colorist: Frank D’Armata
    Letterer: VC’s Ariana Maher
    Editor: Nick Lowe
    Publisher: Marvel Comics
    Cover Price: $3.99
    Release Date: October 26th, 2022 

    Previously in Iron Cat: Tamara Blake stole the Iron Catsuit and freed Madame Menace to assist in her revenge. She then targets Black Cat when she kills Black Fox to save Manhattan. With the help of Iron Man, Black Cat sets up a plan against Iron Cat and even steals another suit. The trio teamed up when Madame Menace betrayed Iron Cat. During the subsequent encounter, Iron Cat dies in the explosion while Iron Man and Black Cat prepare to upload a virus.

    HATRED AND FORGIVENESS

    Iron Cat #5 starts with Madame Menace attacking Tony Stark and Black Cat with an A.I.-controlled Iron Man suit. Luckily, Iron Cat isn’t dead. She comes in to save the day and delivers a file for Tony to upload. As Tony works his computer magic, the Hulkbuster suit arrives. After Tamara forgives Felicia, Black Cat suits up, and they try and distract Madame Menace but nearly get overpowered. Luckily, Tony uploads another version of Madame Menace to attack while he resets his systems. With the fight over, Iron Cat runs away with the suit while Tony and Felicia lick their wounds,

    STANDARD FINISH

    Iron Cat #5 was a simple conclusion to the story. The comic did not try to do anything dramatic; they simply resolved the relationship between Felicia and Tamara and defeated the bad guy. For me, this was disappointing. We could have explored the relationship between the three main characters more closely. Instead, we took a safer route for the story and perhaps foreshadowed the return of Iron Cat in future issues. Don’t get me wrong, this is a well-written conclusion to this story. It was just a little safe. Even the art style didn’t seem to try anything out of the ordinary. Still, the creative team did an excellent job with their decisions.

    BOTTOM LINE: NOT A BAD FINISH

    As an entire miniseries, Iron Cat combines superheroics with the caper/thief feel very well. Iron Cat #5 safely wrapped up those story points but felt a little underwhelming as a single issue. With that in mind, this comic gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. Looking forward to seeing Iron Cat in future series.
