Vol 3 ★★★★☆

3.5 stars. Kate Bishop is such a badass, and I love her snark. I don't think I've disliked a comic featuring her yet, and now she's headlining her own series? Yes, please!

I do wish there had been a bit more closure to the story arc here, but it's clearly setting up for future issues. Still, we don't learn anything about why the events of the first half of this volume happened, what the bad guy's motivation was, etc. And then the second half had an entirely different focus (with a cameo by Jessica Jones, which was fun). My biggest complaint though: I'm not happy that all the misogynistic behavior of the college boys was due to
Spoilermind control
. I mean, really? This is a serious real-life topic in today's world, and seeing it as part of a supervillain plot instead of based in reality just rubbed me the wrong way-- and caused me to round down to 3 stars.
