This is as probably as good a redemption as we'll get for Felicia. It makes no sense considering *how* evil she got. (Like, I'm pretty sure she killed people. They really shouldn't let her walk that back with an 'oops'.) But that said, "Spider-Man's mind wipe traumatized me into being bonkers" is a pretty good excuse as far as comic book excuses go.
Honestly, this is a status quo I'm happy to see restored, and a wrong (Peter wiping his identity from an ex-girlfriend) I'm glad to see righted... so I think we can let this one go.
Wonder if Miles will be as forgiving as Pete, though.
There were various stories where Peter would trust Felicia to protect Mary Jane. (Maximum Carnage and others.) Which shows Peter and Felicia's importance to each other goes beyond any social awkwardness.
I'm happy for every single garbage issue of that worthless trash that Dan Slott wrote to be forgotten forever. His treatment of Felicia was one of the worst things about a run that was absolutely abysmal, tedious and laughably awful in general and ranks, in my opinion, as being the single worst run on the Spider-Man book in the characters history. I would rather read the absolute WORST story of the Clone Saga than read the "Best" issue of Dan Slott's run on the book
And it was pretty clear that his treatment of Felicia was just a manifestation of his pathetic misogyny against the character
Given that the Black Cat is one of my favourite heroes in the entire Marvel universe I'm very glad that everything Slott inflicted on the character with his crappy story arc he ripped off from DC has been undone and she's back to being the enjoyable character she used to be
And it gives me no small amount of schadenfreude to think about how much Slott must HATE that his crappy treatment of the character got completely undone and she's now got her own ongoing
