WHY IS THIS THE END??!!! I knew it was coming, but it still hurts...
I laughed repeatedly through this issue, it was the most gloriously oddball conclusion to one of my favourite comic runs in recent years. Bobbi is drawn beautifully, powerful and confident and an all too rare portrayal of the female form in comics - sexy but not sexualised.
I can't decide if my favourite part was the map, the flowchart, the scene with the ghost horse or the mercorgis. All delightful. I want this creative team to get an awesome series at Image (oh hai Batgirl team) and to be free to pursue feminist agendas without enraging the mainstream fanboys who use the anonymity of the internet to unleash their worst selves.
Exceedingly awesome, I will spread the Bobbi gospel for these 8 precious issues.

10 Things I Love in Mockingbird #8
1. Let me just sing the praises of the cover here. Bobbi's t-shirt? Perfect. The coloring? Perfect. Cover by Joelle Jones? PERFECT!
2. I love the little inside jokes on the credit pages. "Ahoy, to the Phantom Rider, Lincoln Slade! He will not be speaking at the Nerd Cruise banquet. Mr. Slade is here for personal reasons (murder, stalking)."
3. Why do we have to start this comic with Clint/Bobbi feels? This first page has heavy feels. I've loved the scenes of Clint and Bobbi in couple's counseling, but this one hit me in the heart.
4. Bobbi's thoughts on the Bermuda Triangle. "The Bermuda Triangle coughs up myths like a consumptive asthmatic. Missing vessels are blamed on aliens. Atlantis. Time rifts. Ghost ships. Magnetic anomalies. Methane eruptions. People go mad. People lose their minds. Sometimes I think I've been in the Bermuda Triangle my whole life."
5. The creepiness of the Phantom Rider and how Bobbi immediately shuts him down. "You know what hurts...? ...That you think you can actually win me back with this @#$$$**, you anachronistic piece of #$$*. Now take your hand off my ass."
6. Bobbi assembles the nerd on the Nerd Boat cruise to help catch Lincoln Slade! YESSS! This comic is ridiculous in the best way, and I love it.
7. Paul Sabourin, one of the nerd boat passengers, apparently is a ghost horse whisperer? And corgis attack him? It's so great!
8. The ghost cowboy stalker ex plan flowchart! This is a work of art! I had to follow every option.
9. The women of the Nerd Boat cruise not going along with Slader's plans of vengeance because they don't agree with preemptive justice or abetting kidnapping. The pro-feminist pirates. Lincoln Slade accepting he and Bobbi are done.
10. BOBBI'S VACATION WITH HER TWO LOVE INTERESTS THAT DEFINITELY IMPLIES A THREESOME IF CHELSEA'S AUTHOR'S NOTE IS TO BE TRUSTED.
