CIVIL WAR II TIE-IN! When fallout from the battlefields of Civil War II hits close to home, Patsy is forced to take stock of her life as a hero — and to face what it really costs to be A.K.A. HELLCAT
Kate Leth is a Canadian author and illustrator working in comics, animation, design, and feelings. A grown-up goth and pop culture devotee, Kate specializes in work for kids and teens. Their comics work includes Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!; Girl Over Paris; Spell on Wheels; and Adventure Time, among others.
They live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with an absolutely ridiculous cat and several regrets. They are queer and genderfluid/non-binary, a fact that greatly influences their work. Kate uses they/them pronouns, but probably won’t correct you.
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 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.
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.
