Adam Hughes covers are generally horny affairs. He’s a cheesecake artist. It’s what he does.
Hughes’ Black Cat covers lean into that, because Felicia Hardy explicity uses her sexuality as a weapon, a distraction that lets her do crimes and heists better.

Scholars should write essays about this.
Check out our exclusive preview of Black Cat #7, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
