Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! (1-5) Marvel Comics
"Cutesy" is the theme for this series thus far. Definitely a wannabe Squirlgirl vibe happening but more in the lines of Batgirl or even Moongirl-ish, for the audience of the youth. That does not mean I am going to rip this series apart, I happened across it and wanted something different out of my normal genre of reads and this gave it to me.
So, I have no real right to complain that it was definitely written for children or those that enjoy the silly chibi kinda comic work.
On a real positive note!
The format that the story line took was pretty interesting and I did enjoy where they seemed to be taking it. The hole idea behind her mother writing romance books about her daughter was pretty interesting.
Enjoying the play on the idea of good and evil with new superpowered individuals, have to decide what they want to do as well as the recognition that those new to these powers can still handle them in clashes with other superhumans.
As someone familiar with tattoos, I found it kinda funny that Patsy got a tattoo of Hellcat, in a way it kinda makes her seem like a fan of Hellcat, like a lot of people with tattoos of there favorite comic book characters, it’s fun to think, in a small way it’s like her showing the world that she is a fan of Hellcat and not her.
Side note on tattoos?
Could the Incredible Hulk, Colossus, Thing, Wolverine, or Luke Cage get tattoos? Any other super heroes you can think of that have powers that might limit them being able to get tattoos? Kind of a strange question, but one worth investigating?
Ok, so overall Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! Was an interesting, and mildly fun read with some cutesy, cotton candy tone to the entire 5 parts. It’s a fun journey for her to reinvent herself, so if you are into that kinda theme, definitely check it out. It might do you some good to break out of your comfort zone a bit and turn to the “CUTE SIDE”

PATSY WALKER has managed to escape her past, her enemies and Hell itself (literally), but nothing compares to job hunting in New York City! Between trying to make rent and dodging (literal) bullets, Patsy barely has time to deal with her mother's exploitative romance comics about her childhood resurfacing, much less how they start to interfere with her work and dating life. As she goes from living a double life to a triple, what the Hell is Patsy Walker supposed to do? Raise your (literal) claws for PATSY WALKER, AKA HELLCAT!
