Corey, your missing Sil’s appearance in Iron Man #14 as well (just f.y.i!)
Cheers.
James.
I know, I haven’t been able to track that issue down yet. But thank you for the reminder.
Corey
It’s been added. Thanks again James!
After the battle with the Inhumans, Silhouette became a Sensei / Instructor at the Martial Arts School run by Danny Rand (Iron Fist) and Misty Knight.
I don’t know if this was in CIVIL WAR II: CHOOSING SIDES #2 (in which she appears) or after.
Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for that as we continue closing the gap.
Silhouette is also in the new Ironheart series (though I don’t have it myself, folks have been posting about it).
Yes, it’s great! It is on my list to add. I’m currently working my way through 2016, so any appearances more recent than that haven’t been added to the site yet.
