No he leído las Civil War II pero la grapa ha estado bien. Me encanta la relación de Hulka y Patsy, así que todo lo que sea hablar de eso chachi.

Slight disclaimer: I get a bit ranty. Also, uh, maybe don't read this if you're a Civil War 2 fan.

I am sad and angry but mostly sad. Hellcat is my Happy Place™ comic. It's fun and cute and drama free. Pasty Walker is an angel who only deserves good things.

Civil War 2 has ruined everything.

I know retcon is a thing that exists, but I don't care. I had to see my angel CRYING because HER BEST FRIEND IS DYING and I am so mad.

Civil War 2 has been such a POINTLESS event and I can't wait until it's over.

I'm giving this 4 stars because even though I hated what happened it had nothing to do with the creators of this comic. They had to work around what unfolded in Civil War 2 and the situation was handled really well. I love Patsy. There were moments that made me laugh so the humour wasn't completely gone thank god.

Super easy to understand without knowing the details of Civil War II which is good because I’m still working through the first Civil War

[V. Arrow · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5, rounded down just because issues that are total derailments due to Big Events are always kind of meh. I loved the love between Patsy and Jen, though. Comics should have more bonds like that (and maintain them better).

Patsy's not involved with Civil War II, but when her best friend Jen (AKA She-Hulk) ends up in the hospital because of it...she has to deal with the consequences.
