Posted on by EHT Comics

The 1989 Catwoman limited series, written by Mindy Newell and with art by J.J. Birch, expanded upon Miller’s Year One origin. This storyline, known as “Her Sister’s Keeper”, explores Selina’s early life as a dominatrix and the start of her career as Catwoman. The story culminates with Selina’s former pimp, Stan, abducting and beating her sister Maggie, who, in contrast to Selina, is a nun. Selina kills Stan to save her sister, and gets away with it. Most of this is revealed in the former series, but is expanded upon in “Her Sister’s Keeper”.

Posted on by EHT Comics

As part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel branding, Silk is on a stakeout at a skating rink. Silk’s Spider-Sense goes off as a group of Goblin Nation grunts rob a bank. Monologuing to herself, Silk reveals she’d been tailing the Goblin Nation for two weeks in order to avenge her brother who was infused with Goblin Formula and now has no memory of what happened to their parents. Extending claws, Silk slashes the Goblin Nation grunts’ getaway car and webs them up, taking their loot, a safety deposit box containing Parker Industries tech. Thinking to herself that she has no idea what’s in the safety deposit box just that her boss wants it, Silk returns to her now-employer Black Cat, who she is working with despite their earlier antagonism, who scolds her for showing mercy and tells her that being good is bad for business.

The Vision and The Scarlet Witch V2 (1985)

Posted on by EHT Comics

The second twelve-issue series was published in 1985, and was written by Steve Englehart, who had already worked with the characters in the Avengers comic book. In this second series, the Scarlet Witch becomes pregnant by magical means and delivers two sons. Englehart tried to keep the series self-contained, and made the characters resign from the Avengers to avoid having to stick to their events. He also omitted the theme of the racism towards mutants, considering that it was already dealt with at the X-Men‘s series. The comic book was more focused on family drama than superhero exploits. Magic was also a common topic but it was toned down in comparison with Englehart’s run on Doctor Strange. Englehart lamented that the Scarlet Witch’s motherhood did not stick, as the children were killed shortly after he ended writing the character.
