The mysterious disappearance of an old friend brings Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, to New York in search of answers, and a certain web-slinging ex-lover of hers is following the same trail. How long will it take before they do some... catching up? Collecting Spider-Man/Black Cat #1-6.

I love just about any story with the Black Cat and Spider-Man and this one was good. It gave a human feeling to her character of the person who is still in love with Spidey. The villians weren't the best but a female Scorpion was a plus. I recomend this book as part of the Spider-Man story that will probably be seen again in his comics.

I think the art of this book is great.
I love Dodson works (he's as good as Adam Hughes), so I bought this after the MK Spider-Man hardcover and I'm not disappointed at all.
The story is a strange mixture o superheroes and super real problems (some ideas on the superheroes or supervillains side seem to be used only to talk about the real problems). So I'd say: maybe it's not what you would expect from a Spider-man / Black Cat tale, but it's the kind of approach you'd expect from Kevin Smith. If you love him, you'll love this book.

This book is a definite must have to any self proclaimed black cat fan. Its a great story with awesome graphics, an excellent presentation and a great way to get all 6 issues in one,although i also have them separate. Its cheap and also there aren't many paraphernalia or stuff out there of this great marvel character to collect, so like i said before, is a total MUST HAVE! You wont regret it.

--This is the collected version of the limited series by director Kevin Smith and artists Terry and Rachel Dodson.
--This dark tale featuring Spider-Man, Black Cat, Daredevil and Night-Crawler and deals with extreme issues like drug overdoses, child molestation, mass murders and rape (both men and women).
--Black Cat comes out of retirement to find a missing girlfriend and Spider-Man is looking to find out why one of his students died of a drug overdose.
--They team up to find that one of NY most prominent figures may be involved somehow.
--They start playing cops which leads them in the middle of a drug war.
--There is one sexy female villain in the whole book and she's gone in no time.
--Without giving too much more away, half way thru the book, the action stops and its turns into a guide on how to deal with child and adult molestation and rape.
--People are revealing their stories of rape survival and not much else is going on.
--I don't mean to be cruel, but it took over the second half and it felt weird in a Spider-man book.
--Night-Crawler was only available only as a consultant.
--It look like it was going somewhere, then Smith gave Marvel anything just to get his check and get Marvel and fans off his back. (Basically, it took 3-4 years to complete this series.)
--One good point was Daredevil was in it.
--Also, It has DVD style extras in the back.
--What actually makes this book fit for purchase (and the 3 stars) is the excellent art work by the Dodsons.

...is for a few months from now, so by then the mini will be done. Smith had a bad case of writer's block, but he's finished the series.
Ignoring the lateness of the series, this is actually quite a fun little title. I'm looking forward to the end.
