    Snowball Effect, Part 1

    Hellcat's been around a while but I can't imagine she's at the top of most readers' lists of characters who deserve their own book.  However, this is a very pleasant surprise.  Kathryn Immonen does a terrific job in presenting a rounded, somewhat kooky character that will appeal to fans of Dan Slott's She Hulk (though without the uber anal obscure comic book references).  Part of the Initiiative, Patsy fancies joining the team based in Miami, Stark though sees an opening for a lone operator in Alaska.  She isn't thrilled but the spirited Hellcat of this book bounds along there anyway, trying to get on with the locals.  The fish out of water thing is well done here.  Immonen is ably assisted by artist David Lafuente, who has a jaunty style that reminds me of Juan Bobilo.  This is a lot of fun, though I can't help thinking that, if Marvel had waited six months to release this, we could have had Hellcat being attacked by mooses (with a wink to the reader) rather than polar bears.  Worth taking a look.
