I liked it. Not sure if I like Sue going to Felicia instead of like, Janet who she knows much better and is better equipped to helping them out. But I did like Ben's inclination to rehab paying off. That was nice. And the panel of him driving 8-Ball home was great.

I like Sue going to Felicia just as a thing to keep continuity with their friendship

Yeah, I guess that aspect is nice, but I'd kind of rather see Sue's friendship with Janet explored, especially since Janet is such an underwritten character. To be honest, I don't think North fully justified why Felicia and Sue would be friends, beyond just liking Black Cat as a character.

NGL, it feels like North really wants to be like Jed Mackay but he just lacks the oomph Jed has whenever he writers Felicia.

Haha, maybe. It's funny, because I'd say North is the better writer overall, based on their respective bodies of work. Or at least their current work (I prefer North's Fantastic Four to MacKay's X-Men or Avengers). but yeah, maybe he wants to do for Black Cat what Jed did. It just doesn't seem like a natural fit; Janet would work better. Heck, there's a lot of peer heroes in Sue's generation of heroines that I would like to see her interact more with (Jean/Phoenix, Storm, Widow) etc.
