Hellcat Vol. 3

This volume is Volume 3 of the Hellcat series, written by Kate Leth and illustrated by Brittney L. Williams, and the concluding volume of the series. The story follows the first two volumes: Patsy Walker (Hellcat) has had a run of bad luck ever since she crossed the master thief Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat; now the Black Cat has gathered a whole gang of girls and gained a means of controlling minds, and has even begun targeting Patsy's friends and employees. Patsy, along with Jubilee, Ian and the others, must regain the initiative in this cat-versus-cat contest while also collapsing under the double burden of body and mind: what she has caught is not an ordinary cold but a strange illness with a magical nature—every sneeze she makes scrambles reality once, blurring past illusions and present nightmares. As chaos in Brooklyn escalates, she can only rely on those closest to her to clean up the mess. In the final stage, she also reexamines her relationship with the old comics left by her mother and with her longtime foe Hedy, and decides to stand up once more as a superhero. The book collects issues 13 to 17 of the original Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!, with a light tone and bright colors, using friendship, mental state and self-redefinition as threads to bring the series to a close.
