While I had no memory of what it would be about, this was the first comic I ever read! It's kind of trippy and corny.

Patsy’s kind of a weirdo. Does she have a mental thing that I don’t know about? She hallucinates in art nouveau a lot when she’s not acting super incompetent and ditzy. It doesn’t add to the story, but it’s visually interesting and I don’t mind it. Also the plot to this particular one is fun.

This was a fun little series.
I appreciate the competence and confidence that Hellcat shows throughout the series. She's a superhero. She's faced mystical evils before. She gets the job done.
I liked the humanizing of the native characters. They are portrayed as people with differing goals, perspectives, and foibles. Too often often non-Western characters in superhero stories fall into stereotypes and this series is definitely not prone to that flaw.
The artwork is good. The character expressions are spot-on and the storytelling is clear.
My biggest reservation about this story is the lack of tension. I understand that Patsy is supposed to be cool and uber-competent and take all the magical weirdness in stride. However, the story shouldn't take them in stride. The first fight seemed a bit dangerous, but after that, everything seemed too breezy. I didn't feel that Patsy had anything at stake in this story. She was kind of a white savior dropped in to solve the problems of native spirits.

I don't know, this is a weird one. The story is pretty confusing, a lot of details are just thrown out there with no explanation. The art is really nice and the dialogue conveys a lot of character, Patsy is charming as ever, but unless you're a Hellcat obsessive like I am, it's probably not worth digging this up like I did.

The art and coloring on this was GORGEOUS. The writing was confusing and fell flat.

I... didn't hate it? But it was really weird. Mostly confusing, super silly, odd characters. I've never read Hellcat before so I don't know if this is what she's supposed to be like, but she was pretty much Judy shallow, silly, and lame. I feel like there was some potential in a lot of spots for something good (like the multiple Patsy's in the first story) but it was handled really weirdly and reallly weirdly casually (like no one was overly concerned that there were multiple Patsys). I defs don't recommend this one. Kind of a waste of time unfortunately.

Patsy Walker is an excellent, kickass character, but the plot of this particular mini-series did not suit her. With odd moralizing and a story that became convoluted at its center, this particular volume could have been much improved. I'll be interested to see how very different Leth's take on Hellcat is.
