This is my first exposure to Mockingbird, and I love her. Funny, smart and ass-kicking. Lots of great gags in the backgrounds too, especially in the first couple issues.
Once again I'm blown away by the similarities of characters in the Marvel and DC universes - a few of the group scenes had me trying to puzzle out why DC characters were in a Marvel book - the concepts and costumes were that similar.

This is a fun book, but the continuity is a bit odd.
Part 1 takes place over a month, parts 2 - 4 are what happens between the scenes in Part 1. Part 5 picks up the cliff hanger in Part 1. Which makes it an odd decision to change the artist for part 5.
But a lot of the incidental elements are great fun.

Mockingbird Vol 1 is a whole chaotic mess, just like the main character Bobbi. The different chapters just around so it is confusing how they relate to each other. However, author states it is supposed to be that way and come together in later editions. I was somewhat able to piece them together. That said it is a good time. Bobbi is hilarious, smart, sexy, strong and bad ass. I love all the science details strewn throughout the book. And the outfits are hilarious. Great series.

Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird, is a SHIELD agent. Part of her SHIELD insurance dictates that she go to the health clinic every week. So what's with the new super powers she's been exhibiting? And the zombies? And the Corgi?
After her appearances in The Unstoppable Wasp, I needed more Mockingbird. Once again, my Marvel Unlimited subscription was justified.
Mockingbird is a fun comic, the story told in an interesting way. The first issue details her various visits to the SHIELD health clinic. The subsequent four issues reveal what happened in between the visits and explain the weirdness.
Since my only previous exposure to Mockingbird prior to the Unstoppable Wasp was a fistful of West Coast Avengers issues, this was a pretty good intro to Bobbi Morse, biochemist/SHIELD agent turned super hero. In between her trips to the clinic, she encounters super villains, the Hellfire Club, and a frightened teenage girl with super powers.
Bobbi is a smart, funny character, far from the angry woman Hawkeye divorced years ago in West Coast Avengers. Hawkeye, in fact, makes an appearance. She's confident but still struggling to be a super hero in a world where most of the super heroes are men. There are jokes but I didn't feel like they detracted from the story like I did in Infamous Iron Man. The humor was natural, not forced, in other words.
It was entertaining but I might pass on the next volume since it looks like it probably got cancelled in mid-stream. Thanks again, Marvel. Three out of five stars.

This was really good! It was accessible for me as someone who doesn't read a lot of superhero comics. The structure (a "puzzle box") was amazing. I laughed out loud several times. She has a great, sarcastic sense of humor. I loved the main character and that she was a scientist. I'm looking forward to volume 2 and disappointed that, as with Wonder Woman, the comics that I have really responded to from the big 2 comics publishers have both been cancelled prematurely.
