I liked this better than Volume 1, though it is still a bit cutesy for my tastes. But there was a lot more plot going on which drew me into the story. I'm glad it was available on KU because I'm not sure I would have picked it up otherwise. I'm more open to continuing on with the series now than I had been.
Unfortunately I didn't like volume 2 as much as the first one. The stories seemed repetive with the time. All the fights and now almost every character is a fighting superhero? I wanted more every day life handling the new business and all I got was a new enemy who has a grudge against Patsy in every chapter. Nope I won't carry on with this series.
New comic addiction ❤
I'd like to thank God Kate Leth for keeping Patsy out of the Civil War II:Stupid Minority Report event and bringing Jubilee and girl gangs back into my life
So adorable, v funny, has queer characters, made me cry, has jubilee, what more could you want.
patsy walker saves the day from mischief makers--yet again!
There's some really good stuff in this volume - issue 8, where Patsy deals with the aftermath of an injury in Civil War II is an especially powerful episode, as Patsy and friends deal with repercussions. It's one of the most emotionally effective issues I've seen in a Marvel title. That's the high point, but the rest of the volume isn't nearly as strong. There's some relationship issues that play out with Patsy and her exes, which leads to a long sequence in what may or may not be hell that does...
The art really bugs me but I'm enjoying the story. Love Patsy and Hellcat. Nice supporting cast. The drawings make the characters look like children. Like Little Lulu. It's #%&*%! weird. Hate it. It's not Marvel. It's !@#^%~ Disney.
I think the main problem I have with this book is that it nods its head in the direction of all facets of Patsy's long and varied history while simultaneously robbing the darker aspects of it of all their gravitas...I'm also not a fan of the cutesy artwork. I really don't like cutesy artwork unless it's on a book like the X-Babies where it absolutely demands it. In a book featuring an all-adult cast it just doesn't work for me.
[Read as single issues]I love Patsy. This series, like some of Marvel's more third-tier books, is a shining light reminding us that comics are able to be fun as well as punching us in the feels at the same time.The Civil War II tie-in in this volume is so well done, dealing with the emotional fallout of She-Hulk's hospitalization during the battle with Thanos and how it hurts Patsy and her friends more closely than the rest of the war put together.The rest of the volume ties up the Hedy Wolf sto...
The Patsy Walker comic legal drama gets tidied up, then we move on to Civil War II. This was probably the best tie-in of the whole event. Patsy and her friends deal with She-Hulk being in a coma. Then Hedy is back to make trouble again as she sicks both of Hellcat's ex-husbands on her. Finally, Black Cat decides to take out Hellcat while most of the heroes are out of town doing the whole Civil War II thing.The Good: Kate Leth does a great job of detailing living in NYC in your 20's. The issue wh...
Reading single issues again, updating as I go.12. Everything about this is great. That's really all I have to say. 11. I LOVE HOW MANY WOMEN ARE IN THIS SERIES! Hellcat is so good, you guys. 10. I love that the male antagonists are really whiny and awful and portrayed the way women used to be. 9. Wow, men just ruin everything. I like this story, though. A little darker than the last one. 8. AMERICA!But oh man, I love Jen. 7. WILLIAMS IS BACK. I love how she draws everyone (Jessica Jones is kind
Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat! is definitely growing on me. However, I still don't like how they refer to other comics issues that I need to read to get the full story of what's happening in the current issue I'm reading. Like, just tell me what's up in the current issue.
This series continues to be campy and inclusive, and I love a good bisexual character. Because it opens with Jen in a coma, this volume is a bit of a downer. I appreciate that Patsy gets to go through the motions as a person and not just as a superhero who grins and bears it, but it was way less fun to read than the first volume. The illustrations were great, and not just the style but the way they were used, (view spoiler)[like when Patsy is in Belial's dimension (hide spoiler)]. Reservations:
I read this second volume of Hellcat! comics because I had it out from the library. But I wish I had stopped after the first volume. I did not enjoy this one at all. :-(The artist stayed the same throughout, and I think she was the same artist as drew the first five issues. But in these comics, Ian looked like a pretty girl. :-(And Patsy? Whenever the artist drew her in her Hellcat costume, she looked like a dumpy teenager, while out of the costume she mostly looked fully like the adult she is.
I love this series so much, and it does such a good job of updating the original patsy walker dating-highschool-drama to a modern setting, while staying with the backstory of the characters (Patsy was married twice? And has been to hell?) and also staying all-ages. Really fun, and such a relief to go to when the aura of drama and angst coming off of the "main" comics gets too much.
