(This review may contain spoilers).
I saw a version of Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird) in Agents of SHIELD... though only a brief scene, since I haven't actually seen season two; I just managed to watch a video clip.
I think that the characters who don't have any special powers are pretty interesting in the Marvel universe. Bobbi was clearly highly trained and a strong female character. In the last four comics, she had obviously been damaged psychologically by what had happened to her after she'd been taken.
There seems to be a lot of instances of characters, heroes mainly but also some villains, being killed and then being resurrected in the Marvel universe. I felt the explanations in this set of comics made sense as to how Bobbi had come back, though.
I liked seeing the interactions between Clint and Bobbi... and it was also pretty cool to see a different version of Clint in the second set of comics. As always, I could see the obvious differences in the artwork styles from the first comic, which appeared much more family friendly, to the next four... which seemed more digital, not to mention clearly aimed at adults.
It was interesting to see the new version of Captain America and how different he clearly was to Steve. I also liked seeing Clint's interactions with him... how he clearly didn't respect him in the same way he did Steve. Even if he did originally call the new Cap for help, I got the feeling that was just because he felt like he had to.
It was good to see Bobbi team up with Spider-Man in the first comic. I was a bit confused as to why she came across as a bad guy to begin with... but as the storyline went on, it became clearer as to what was going on with her.
I liked the fact that there were flashbacks in the second set of comics, but it did get a bit confusing at first when I found myself viewing a scene from the past. I would have liked to know a bit more about the Skrulls, since this is the second comic book that features them.
This comic book has triggered my interest in seeing more of Bobbi's adventures and how she deals with the emotional scars she carries. I'd also like to see more of the second Cap and learn more about him.

Not a huge Mockingbird or Hawkeye fan, so I wasn't blown away. The only thing this book did was pique my interest in the Skrull invasion.

Čtenářská výzva na Goodreads 2018 (35/205)
Další svazek, který rozhodně nedopadl špatně.
I tentokrát má kniha dva příběhy. Prvním z nich je “...A žádný ptáček nezazpívá”, ve kterém se poprvé objevila titulní hrdinka Mockingbird. Jedná se o komiks ze série “Marvel Team-Up”, ve které se dva různí hrdinové spojili proti jednomu konkrétnímu záporákovi. Samozřejmě, většinou v této sérii vystupoval v hlavní roli Peter Parker alias Spider-Man, což konkrétně platí i zde. Abych byl upřímný, tento jednorázový uzavřený příběh není nic převratného. Scénáristicky mi to přišlo poměrně obyčejné a ani ne tak zajímavé, jak některé jiné komiksy staršího rázu. Kresba je sama o sobě podivná, což je patrné zejména na některých výrazech v obličejích některých postav. Navíc, ani hlášky mi nepřišly jakkoliv vtipné. Takže ne, Steven Grant se tady bohužel moc nepředvedl.
Pak ovšem přichází druhý příběh, který je o poznání lepší. Je to komiks “New Avengers: Shledání”, jehož události z větší části navazují na událost jménem “Tajná invaze” od Briana Michaela Bendise, v níž šlo o hromadný útok mimozemské rasy Skrullů na planetu Zemi, kdy si nikdo z hrdinů nebo normálních lidí nemohl být jistý tím, kdo je kdo a zda se dá vůbec někomu v okolí věřit. Nebudu sice přesně popisovat, co se v tomto Bendisově počinu stalo nebo jakým způsobem “New Avengers: Shledání” vůbec navazuje na tento převratný počin, ale můžu vám říci, že to razantně ovlivnilo vztah hrdiny Ronina vůči Mockingbird. A o tomhle je v podstatě celý komiks. Víceméně zde dostanete zajímavou špionskou, ne-li částečně Bondovskou záležitost, kdy se vztahy těchto dvou musí opětovně vrátit do starých kolejí, v jakých to bylo vždycky.
Začátek mě sice nebavil tolik, jak bych si představoval, ale postupem času si mě získala dvojice Ronin a Mockingbird, která po celou dobu čtení skvěle funguje. Jim McCann je jednoduše napsal čtivě a i kresba, o kterou se postaral David Lopéz, mi přišla líbivá. Závěrečná bitva mi sice místy přišla poměrně překombinovaná, avšak i přesto to nebylo špatné čtení. Není to sice to nejlepší pro nováčky, protože se odkazuje na poměrně dost zásadních událostí, ale když tohle pomineme, tak to je příjemné počtení.
Sečteno podtrženo, jedná se o dobrou četbu, která není špatná. I přesto si však myslím, že se nováčci místy můžou ztrácet. Pokud patříte mezi nováčky, klidně si to kupte, ale počítejte s tím, že místy nebudete mít potuchy o tom, na co jednotlivé postavy v určitou chvíli odkazují.

Marvel's Mightiest Heroes Book 47.
Two stories, the first of which features the debut of Bobbi Morse's Mockingbird identity in a team-up with Spider-Man. The second, main, story has the reunion of Mockingbird and her estranged husband Hawkeye, as they try to deal with the breakdown of their relationship and the fallout of having been separated for years whilst Bobbi was impersonated by a Skrull infiltrator.
The team-up story with Spider-Man, by Steven Grant, is nothing special to write home about but it does have the interesting core concept of SHIELD having been corrupted and Bobbi acting as a rogue agent to try to bring the corruption to light.
It's an interesting premise but unfortunately comes from an era of Marvel storytelling before they were really able to tackle that kind of thing compellingly, making this a light and somewhat cheesy attempt.
The main story here is also very interesting in concept: exploring the complex relationship between Bobbi and Clint. From Bobbi's perspective, she was ready to divorce Clint and was then kidnapped, spending years as a prisoner of the Skrulls before finally returning to Earth post-Secret Invasion, leaving her feeling confused and emotionally adrift. From Clint's perspective, he and Bobbi (secretly a Skrull impostor) actually reconciled before she sacrificed her life to save him and, having dealt with the grief of losing her, he is troubled to find her alive and a different woman to the one he remembers.
It's all very compelling in concept but, strangely like the story from 1980, the writer fails to actually do that concept justice.
The big problem is that there doesn't actually feel like there's any chemistry between Bobbi and Clint, which means all of the emotional moments in her totally fail to land as they should. Despite that complex backstory being discussed (and shown in a couple of places) the two characters actually feel like total strangers who've just been sent on a mission together. It gives the whole thing a weird dissonance that it never recovers from.

Un tomo cumplidor. Incluye la primera aparición de Bobbi Morse (como aliada de Spider Man), una historia olvidable, y luego los primeros 4 números de The New Avengers del 2009 en los que básicamente se narra el reencuentro de Mockingbird con Clint Barton, ex Hawkeye, ahora Ronin, ex esposos, pero en estado de incertidumbre luego de que se revelara que durante años Bobbi fue en realidad reemplazada por un Skrull (esos argumentos sólo son posibles en los comics). Barton, para ser sinceros, queda como un estúpido de tan arrastrado, y Bobbi -como cualquiera podía adivinar-, al principio es reticente pero acaba cediendo. De fondo hay una bomba a punto de explotar de forma medio ridícula, pero que al final deja de tener interés (incluso para los protagonistas). De los tomos más bajos de la colección.

Tomo que pareciera ayudar a redondear el de Hawkeye, que nos introduce a Mockingbird un poco a la fuerza
Pero acá tenemos la primera aparición de Bobbi con este apodo justiciero, donde comparte aventuras con el Hombre Araña y el gran Nick Fury, para luego cerrar con la miniserie que trata de armar los últimos momentos de Bobbi antes de ser llevada por los Skrulls, hasta que es devuelta a la Tierra, sin tener claro que camino tomar
Usar dos tomos distantes para armar la historia de una pareja me parece una movida interesante, por eso las 3 estrellas, porque podría haberse llevado solo 2, por lo corto y poco relevante por si solo de ambas historias

An interesting tale about a character who I only knew in the comics as "Hawkeyes wife". Could've been stronger in some areas, but a nice tale overall.

Incluye una miniserie relacionada con Dark Reign y un crossover entre el personaje titular y Spiderman.
