One issue. Theres one issue left to go in the series. Cantwell and company have just really gotten going on the series, and its over with Issue #5. The cleverly-crafted story is coming to an end, but Cantwell has found a really nice niche for Patsy that works so well with an area of the Marvel Universe that so rarely gets the right treatment. Hopefully, everything wraps up with a clear conclusion for the next issue. If all goes well, it would be cool to see Cantwell and Lins have another adventure with Patsy. Read Full Review

Hellcat #4 delivers oodles of exposition and dialog to answer every question but one – who killed Spalding? Still, the volume of answers and explanations is enough to make this issue reasonably satisfying, even if it isn't particularly riveting or entertaining. Read Full Review
Patsy Walker lore is something else... I have to admit I don't get most of it but I still enjoy this weird aspect of her life.
The mysteries start collapsing, and the true plot that's revealed is gratifyingly logical. It's still a potent character study of Patsy Walker, even as she gets put through the wringer.
I know the art is idiosyncratic, and some readers just aren't going to like it no matter what. There's a LOT to like, though! The expressive exaggerations, the persistent damage tarnishing Patsy… The art's even inventive in little moments--look at how Sleepwalker teleports into Hedy's living room. It's not just a generic glowy portal; the whole room WARPS around him as he arrives.
Disappointing. Despite a fairly good plot, the constant time jumps and the crap art ruined it.
If there is another series, can we have a return to the happy-go-lucky Hellcat - and some decent artwork.
