Hee! This was adorable and fluffy and perfect. Think Squirrel Girl but slightly more mature. Slightly. There are villains, who are more posturing than effective, and quips and awesome Marvel ladies galore, and the power of friendship, and a whole lot of comedy as Patsy hops from job to job trying to find something that fits her superheroine schedule and runs into the bad guys. I need to read more but I hear it’s either changed writers or gotten cancelled completely, which makes me show more sad.

Okay. I am a fan. Seriously. I was laughing my way through this entire comic. After last issue we know that Patsy is now working retail. She has a 17 year old boss.

And she's still dealing with the fallout of her comic being re-released with random people coming to ask her personal questions.

And it looks like Patsy is about to whoop up on her frenemy Hedy who somehow scooped up the rights and is now reaping the monetary benefits of the comic being out there for public consumption again.

I show more cracked up at the scene with Patsy saying she needed at least 30 more seconds of rage. Girl I feel you. Sometimes you just need to feel the anger and put it way for a few seconds.

The plot is fairly straightforward in this one and we still have forward progression on Patsy's idea to start a superhero agency. I love that Patsy is living with Ian (telekinetic) who it seems has a crush on Patsy's childhood friend Tom.

There is a lot of humor in this comic and also it great about reflecting some of the reality in which celebrities live now. A scene where girls come up to Patsy to ask her questions and then one of them just takes her photo just made me cringe a bit inside. I have been out with people in D.C. before (we do get celebs here) and for the most part, we leave them alone. When you see Joe Biden strolling around, Hollywood celebs are not that interesting for the most part. But also, they are busy, what the heck is wrong with people going up to them to demand an autograph and picture. Or to just take their pic without permission.

Whoops, end rant.

We do get to see Patsy suit up in this one which was great. Mental note, don't call her kitten.

There is also a funny little reveal about who Patsy is friends with too.

Anyway I can't wait to read the next one which is showing an overall plot about an old enemy! show less

I didn't know how much I needed to read something that did not make me want to pull my hair out or scream that's not how things work!

This one was great and can I say right now I am loving the illustrations, the writing, the snark, and the outright hilariousness of Patsy talking about online dating.

Thanks a lot Hellcat for having me have some really bad flashbacks to the time I used Tinder. I swear I saw these two dudes profiles in real life.

We do have a steady march to Patsy confronting a show more sorceress from Asgard and Hedy who is still profiting from the Patsy Walker comics.

We also get another reappearance from a fan favorite, Howard the Duck!

I honestly did not realize until a few years ago that Howard the Duck had his own comic and was also part of the Marvel universe. All I recall is the movie with him and my parents making me leave the room at one point. It took several years for me to realize it was because his character and Lea Thompson's character were about to knock feathers

I apologize for the pun, I will see myself out.

So from beginning to end this was a great issue and I can't wait to see what the next one has going on. It looks like we are finally going to get a showdown between Patsy and Hedy (I know who I am betting on) and we get to see some more She-Hulk. show less

I want to like this, as it is trying to be in the same vein of Squirrel Girl, but that lighthearted tone is just not working with Hellcat. Part of the problem is that while Squirrel Girl was quirky and cute right from the start, Patsy Walker is weighted down with decades of continuity that is downright hellish at times, and instead of brushing all of it aside with a retcon, the creators want to keep all the character's baggage while simultaneously writing her as if she were barely out of her show more teens. Patsy should be in her 30s or maybe even early 40s, but she is often depicted here quasi-chibi style as if she were only 12. Maybe the big reveal is coming that Patsy Walker has gone insane and is imagining all these adventures of a declawed Hellkitten. show less
