Marvel Comics Announces New Hellcat Ongoing Series
Fans of the Marvel Comics heroine Hellcat, aka Patsy Walker, are in luck because Marvel officially announced this week a new monthly series featuring the character that will debut later this winter, Patsy Walker A.K.A Hellcat! The Hellcat series is set to debut in December and will be a new female led series starring Hellcat. The creative team for the book features writer Kate Leth (Adventure Time) and artist Brittney Williams (Lumberjanes).
The series will follow the superhero Hellcat, who refuses to say no to adventure even if it turns out to be more than what she can handle. Speaking on the new series, Leth stated: “I want to continue the thread of her being the kind of girl who calls you up out of the blue and you always say yes, because it’s an adventure. She’s a super hero martial-arts wiz that can sense mystical energy! She learned how to fight on the moon, so you KNOW she’s good at what she does and has the history to back it up.”
In the story, the former member of the Avengers and Defenders looks to make a name for herself alongside some of the other powerful Marvel heroines. Editor Will Moss added: “With this series, Kate and Brittney are going to provide a unique spin on the super hero, providing readers with a Patsy Walker who is both supremely relatable and supremely awesome. And look for guest appearances by all of Marvel’s top female heroes, including She-Hulk, Kate Bishop, Captain Marvel and maybe even the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!”
The first issue of the series goes on sale this December. You can check out the cover artwork for the first issue, including a variant cover by George Perez and some other character art, below.
