Deadline is a four-issue mini-series that was printed by Marvel Comics in 2002, chronicling the first appearance of Kat Farrell as a newspaper reporter in New York City, stumbling onto a murder case. Kat works at the Daily Bugle, and dealt with major Bugle employees Betty Brant, Ben Urich, Robbie Robertson, and J. Jonah Jameson. The series was written by Bill Rosemann and Guy Davis, with covers by Greg Horn. A precursor to The Pulse (a series which also featured Kat as a character), the story focuses on a journalist whose career is centered on super powered beings (much to Kat's chagrin).
