Fans of the live-action Marvel movies and TV shows have not yet had the pleasure of an introduction to Black Cat (at least at the time of writing this), though this character is a veteran of the comic world. Naturally, there are varying degrees of fandom towards the Marvel universe. And I could! I hope I get to write Daredevil or Tony Stark again someday.’ ‘I was SO EXCITED to put those cameos in! My first Marvel Heroines book didn’t have a lot of big-name cameos but it seemed like it could be so fun, so I wrote all of these specifically into the pitch for Felicia’s book to see if I could get away with them. Spiderman, Tony Stark and Daredevil are just a few of the household names to make a guest appearance, and Cath Laura brings each of these well-established personalities to life with effortless finesse. It’s got a foothold in the larger Marvel universe thanks to being set in New York, so readers can look forward to cameos from some big names, all of them embroiled in Black Cat’s mischief.’Ĭameos are indeed abundant, and second-guessing who Felicia runs into next is one of the many fun things about this book. I appreciate so much about her, and had to make a play to write her book. Also, she’s bi, which spoke to me on a personal level. Felicia’s got to be more thoughtful about how she pulls off her jobs, and that means teamwork. I’ve always had a soft spot for heist stories, and especially in a universe that’s crowded with superpowered people, it’s a fun challenge to write about someone who doesn’t have a lot of those abilities at her disposal. The Book Network was therefore honoured to chat to Cath Lauria about her wonderful take on Black Cat and the world she inhabits, starting with what appealed to Cath about this particular Marvel character in the first place. It pays homage to the iconic New York City of Marvel lore and all of its resident characters good and bad, whilst weaving a gripping, action-laden and thoroughly entertaining story that has more than a few surprises along the way. When a remarkably cunning and equally high-maintenance teenage girl calls upon Felicia to track down her missing gangster father, Black Cat is compelled to do the right thing on the wrong side of the law, whilst avoiding the temptations of the mysterious magical golden apples which have discomubalted the fickle hearts of many a mortal human across the world.īlack Cat: Discord is an extremely cool superhero book. An anti-heroine of sorts, Felicia has an unquestionable moral standing, but is certainly no Captain America. Having already made a mighty contribution to Aconyte Books’ Marvel Heroines range in the form of Elsa Bloodstone: Bequest, author Cath Lauria brings us Black Cat: Discord, another gripping Marvel novel, this time set through the eyes of New York City’s most notorious cat burglar, Felicia Hardy, aka, Black Cat.
