Hellcat News

This post relates to: Stuart Immonen, David Lafuente, Kathryn Immonen, Hellcat

Hellcat's getting her own series?  Really?  There's no mention that it's a mini-series.  I didn't know there was such a demand for Patsy Walker.  Guess that's the good thing about the 50 State Initiative, it gives lesser known characters a chance to shine in the spotlight.  But being that she appears to be a little feisty and is a red-head, you know I'll check it out.

Get Ready for the Claws of Patsy Walker: Hellcat!
 
Make way for Marvel’s most fearsome heroine… Hellcat!  Hellcat scratches and slashes her way into a new age in her five-issue limited series, Patsy Walker: Hellcat, Agent of the Initiative! After the 50 State Initiative, Alaska is without a hero and Iron Man has just the heroine in mind, Hellcat!  With magnificently, stunning art work from soon-to-be star, David Lafuente Garcia (X-Men Divided We Stand), Hellcat is going to face a lot more trouble than just learning how to deal with Mother Nature!  Up and coming star writer, Kathryn Immonen (Marvel Comics Presents), is going to throw Hellcat into a wild world full magic and this cat may not land on all fours!  Hellcat will have to face witches, rapid polar bears, killer Eskimos, and crazed demons!
 
Editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada proclaims, “Hellcat is important to the Marvel U… this will redefine Hellcat in the Marvel Universe.”
 
What exactly does the Klondike state have in store for Marvel’s fearsome beauty?  Prepare for the cold and danger and find out in Patsy Walker: Hellcat, Agent of the Initiative #1!  Make sure not to miss the first issue of this ferocious new limited mini-series!

The first issue wasn't bad.  Better than I thought.  I really got burned out on the original series (way back) when the stories were pretty much throw-away ones.  Besides the Spider-Man one, the stories have some potential.  I am curious what they'll do with Taskmaster.  I've always liked him.  Even though he got his butt majorly kicked in Moon Knight, it was still good to see him.  Let's see what they can do with him now.  Taskmaster vs SHIELD?  Okay.  Sounds good to me (hopefully Tony Stark will be on board to get thrashed).

Marvel’s all-new cutting edge anthology series ups the ante with the action-packed Marvel Comics Presents #2, featuring Hellcat, Taskmaster, the enigmatic Weapon Omega, and the introduction of an all-new super team dedicated to Captain America! This issue’s creative team is an equally amazing assemblage, featuring the writing talents of Marc Guggenheim, Kathryn Immonen, M. Zachary Sherman and Rich Koslowski; and the penciling prowess of Dave Wilkins, Stuart Immonen and Khoi Pham. Critics and fans alike have hailed Marvel Comics Presents for it’s mix of different genres and acclaimed talent!

IGN.com’s Jesse Schedeen deemed Marvel Comics Presents a “must read” saying, “There's a lot to love within these many pages.”

SilverBulletComicBooks.Com’s Bryant Frattalone praised the series for its “Top quality art and writing talents.”

Where else will you find Hellcat, Weapon Omega, an all-new team of Marvel heroes, and Taskmaster single-handedly taking on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier? The answer is “nowhere”…except the brand new, can’t miss Marvel Comics Presents #2!

I liked this series the first time around.  The stories weren't always the best but it gave minor characters a chance to get their turn in the spotlight (even though they had to fight Wolverine or Ghost Rider for their share of space).  I liked how there was a few stories in each issue, kind of like the old serial movies.  As long as they have some decent talent handling it, I'm sure I'll check it out.  I just don't want simple throw away stories. Sounds like they're off to a good start.
