Also, samefagging but with all of the bitching about "how do we fix Marvel" and shit on this board, it's more than valid to point out a book that is emblematic of everything that's wrong with current Marvel.

>Kate has totally rockin' tattoos so here's a story where Patsy gets a tattoo! Aren't tattoos cool and interesting?

Too bad, she left out the cutting.

Man, art takes so much time to do, so much time to just create and craft and let alone make well, and people spend lifetimes trying to get that stuff published. And sure, a lot of it is bad, but usually it's under the expected guise of, you know, trying to be good, you know? No matter if something is schlock shit if the person at least fucking tried to make something of their art it's at least worth the discussion.

But when something that is so utterly banal and so utterly full of a very obvious lack of caring, lack of passion, with nothing going for it, something that is undeserving of the time it took to make it, and then it gets published commercially on top of that? LIke it's not even really pandering to an audience as much as serving for the self interests of an author who doesn't care about their art? And yet it's given 5his opportunity thousands would literally kill for? And then when it just doesn't go away and when it starts to seep into everything else around it, and people just tell you to ignore it, because "art is expendable, man, art isn't worth anything anyway, jusy lower your standards until troglodyte shit is acceptable to your palate"?

I dunno, there's something about that goes from just a bad but negligible experience to something kind of insulting and depressing.

No, actually, the fact Marvel thought this was an acceptable comic to publish is everything wrong with them currently.

To be completely fair, dealing with bed bugs IS serious business.

>>84243864
>Really nothing happens in Hellcat. Things are solved via deus ex machina because any sort of conflcit is not what's important. See, Hellcat exists as nothing but Kate Leth's self-insert fanfiction. Kate is such a narcissist that she believes we'll find her life as interesting as she does. Did you know that Kate has had bedbugs? Well here's a story where Patsy has to get rid of magic bedbugs! Kate has totally rockin' tattoos so here's a story where Patsy gets a tattoo! Aren't tattoos cool and interesting? Man, wouldn't it be great if Kate just had all kinds of cool gay friends and got to hang around with cool women all the time? Well in Hellcat, she can!

Hellcat is basically a failed attempt at recreating squirrel girl which I didn't thing was fucking possible say what you will about Eric's deformed fucking art but at least it's something even if it is just a borderline shit artistic style hellcat takes that to the extreme and it is fucking shit squirrel girl at least has at least some small fucking ounce of quality but Hellcat is a failed mimicry of that and has no quality whatsoever

the art is kind of cute and it's nice to see an old neglected property brought out of the attic but it could have been better if it were more like The New Frontier rather than Archie Comics meets Love and Rockets without any of Archie's warmth or Love and Rockets edge

>>84245007
>it's nice to see an old neglected property brought out of the attic
Byrne did it and regretted it

>>84243864
Hellcat's problem isn't the fact that it's written for little girls in mind as readers of the comic, it's written by Kate Leth for Kate Leth.

>>84244988
>Failed attempt
I think they successfully recreated Squirrel Girl, it does almost as badly as Squirrel Girl does.

>>84243864
I find it kind of funny how they launch a new Hellcat comic to piggyback on Patsy's appearance, but the two versions could not be any more vastly different.

To be fair something needs to be done about the state of comics aimed at children in general though especialy on dcs side it seems that if it's aimed at a younger audience it has to be juvenile crap.

Do you think anybody would mind if they just adjusted there ratings standards so there currently 13+ stuff can get labeled 8+ and the 8+ can be thrown out.

Agree it's the absolute worst. The Natasha Allegri fill-in issue would sweep the awards if there were a Golden Turkey Award-sorta thing for comics. In fact, we should start holding one starting this year, as a counterpoint to the Eisners and the Harveys. Call them the "Leths."

>>84250686
I want to see someone point out in a future issue "Hey, weren't you married to the Antichrist a while back?". Patsy gets PTSD flashbacks and the art shifts into Ruins-mode, with a shrink explaining that Patsy's bizarre behavior was her coping mechanism for severe trauma and the rest of the series is a harrowing tale of a woman struggling to hold her sanity after being exposed to the horrors of Hell.

>>84250732
And her suicide.

Man, Warren Ellis and the others doing Hellstorm were fucking savage with their writing. It's such a total contrast to the Patsy we have today. Then again, that version was a pretty far cry from her avengers/defenders self as well.

I agree we need some flashbacks to this, though. Someone get Kate on the line.

It reads well with the Druid mini-series as a follow-up/coda. It's bleak as hell, but it was part of Marvel's attempt to create a Vertigo-like "mature" subline of comics around the time when DC was scoring very big with the critics. Of course it never went anywhere.

If they don't have the #1, I'll just pirate it, though. Honestly interested in it aside from being spiteful, although the art looks atrocious in >>84251511 . The Hellcat design is cute, but that She-Hulk. At least the colors are kind of nice.

For frame of reference, though, OP was talking about people shitting on Gwenpool and I actually like it. I don't read actual Deadpool very often, but Gwenpool's pretty fun so far.

I've always been into punk music at least casually since I was a kid. Always liked the way big mohawks look. Doubly so if they are dyed green or something. Those are different than the style that people are wearing now which is usually kept down and just essentially one side of their head shaved to look cutesy tough. I've seen a handful of people sport it well and my problem isn't so much the haircut itself, just the fact that it's everywhere among female nerds.

Also, another reason for pills as opposed to guns is not everyone has a gun and pills might seem like a less painful solution. Not a vanity thing entirely, though I'm sure there are cases where it is so (which is ironic given that you shit yourself upon death so no one will look pretty, no matter how in tact their face is, if they're covered in shit.) Plenty of men have overdosed on pills and I had a friend who tried it, as well. A lot of folks who try it just don't understand how low of a chance they have of actually dying from it because that aspect of it isn't really shown in TV/movies/news reports.

I just don't get why people wouldn't do a little fucking research on how to kill themselves. I mean, hell, if you have the choice to make your exit from this world painless, why wouldn't you?

I did the research when I was contemplating it.

I hate dcs stupid attempts to explain there retcons and hellblazer 13 stood out to me as the weakest of the 107 issues I have read so far (if I read a few more comics from that year I would probably find something worse.)

How many friends/relatives have you had to google super basic shit for? Now add the stress of depression/suicidal thoughts to that. I'm not surprised either. I've looked at various ways of doing it myself, too, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't bright enough to think about that even when happy, let alone when trying to kill themselves.

Also, posting all this cheesecake has made me realize how little I've been on /co/ since I got this computer a year or two ago. Almost out of good titty pics. Need to hang around here more often.

Thanks, buddy.

>>84251989
A lot of people try it and never succeed. I probably will at some point as most of my older cousins and one of my younger ones along with my brother have all tried to kill themselves at one point or another and, thankfully, failed. Some people back off at the last moment but some commit and still end up living through it. Just gotta hope people can learn from it and do something with their lives. Even if Hellcat is shitty, at least this chick found something to keep her going. Might irritate a lot of people on /co/, but it makes at least a handful of other people happy.

>>84252037
There's a world of difference between backing down at the last moment, and committing to it and being too much of a fuckup to get it right, anon.

>>84251873
I'd wager there was some absolutely shit titles at marvel and DC in the late 80s, "I don't like it" is a far cry from "worst comic of the year"

>>84252060
She didn't commit to it. She used a method that didn't ensure her death because it was a cry for attention.

Nobody cares if you say "I thought about killing myself but changed my mind", but they do if you "took a whole bottle of pills!"

If someone really wanted to kill themselves they'd use a method to make sure the job got done.

>>84252037
>Thanks, buddy.
Need more?

Keep it in perspective people. While this book is clearly dull garbage, does I think there's some question on whether it actually reaches storytime of pain levels, like Marville, Trouble or the Unfunnies.

>>84252092
It's hard to judge, in my opinion. What you're saying isn't unlikely, but, well...

Leth is so tremendously fucking idiotic she might well have thought that would kill her. I have more respect for the intelligence of a goddamn rabbit than I do her. And not one from a fucking cartoon, either.

I think the basic problem is that Kate Leth isn't very funny. She has a few zingers but nowhere near enough to do a lighthearted comedy book like this. Compare with Peter David who could knock it out of the park every month in X-Factor AND also have some good drama and seriousness going. Leth's stuff is more like a low-tier webcomic, good for an occasional smile and the odd chuckle, but nowhere near pro level.

>>84251682
Same reason for the cutting, she wanted attention.

To be fair, these lighter female-lead books (Batgirl, Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, etc) sell way more in trade than in monthlies.

However, I'd be very surprised if Hellcat is selling even in trade. Even Tumblr girls don't seem to give a shit about it.

I thought it was an ironic joke at first.

This shit's the One Direction of comic books.

It's so obviously meant to pander that there's no point in complaining about it anymore than there is to complaining that moeshit exists.

Simply put, /co/ is not the target audience.

They did make a New52 version of Amethyst written by the main writer of the Jem cartoon. It started out with evil rapey football players almost raping a girl and then I never bothered with it because the first issue was just typical early New52 grimderp.

>>84251640
Keep telling yourself that. Hellcat was never popular, that's why for 40 years she only made guest appearances in other peoples books, and she was usually treated as a joke character anyway. She's had a couple of solos that all failed, and was Marvels attempt to turn one of their Archie knockoff characters into a Catwoman knockoff. Everything about her is a lie, and a company wide invoke at Marvel.

>>84252155
Im getting real tired of these constant threads about Hellcat and Squirrel Girl for just this reason. They might be bad, but they're a forgettable bad, nothing deserving of all the hate /co/ likes to give them. Compared to Marville, i'd take Hellcat any day of the week.

Well, you see, Amazing Strawman-woman, women actually DO synchronize if they're around each other long enough, and periods don't take a "time out" when things get really bad. Boners, on the other hand, will more often than not NOT spring up when being mauled to death by Darkseid (despite how cute he looks in that little skirt), so that's not really a viable concern for me. Also, boners don't synchronize, and you are a fucking joke that exists solely as a "mean guys said a thing and then I thought of this PERFECT response hours later maaaaan if I had just said it then!" response that would have been shot down five seconds after it was uttered.

I hate these mentalities of 'we're all perfect' because it's always the worst people who believe it. They'll take those sayings, hang them up over their bed, and use it as a license to become raging cunts (both men and women).

Why should they improve? If you can't handle them at their worst, you don't deserve them at their best.
They get belligerently drunk, and start yelling at people and breaking stuff? Lol, they party hard, everyone makes mistakes.
They see they need to get better? Just acknowledge it in a deprecating joke, and that makes it ok!

It especially sucks because I think the plotline with her being upset the comics her mom based on her are getting republished could be interesting.

I did buy it for a few issues, in the delusional belief that it was a rough start and it would get better, but it got worse. I honestly can't believe it hasn't been cancelled.

Yeah, man, back in my day, people got married at 14 and died at 20 and we were hardcore forever. If you didn't die in pitched battle or from the plague, you were the biggest pussy in town!

This shit ain't unique to our times, anon. Every generation previous to it complains about the next one. Our situation isn't new. It'll change in a generation or two anyway. Then eternal children will be complaining about how their kids or grandkids are double eternal children or maybe they were born adults and relentlessly mock their parents for jacking off to cartoons.

Also, there's a bit of irony complaining about eternal children when you're on a board for comics and cartoons.

>>84265402
The thing is the only reason to not be an eternal child is we need to make society better so everyone can be an eternal child.

The only reason to be productive is to further how comfy human life becomes.

The more direct reason is to get a house and live there and do fuck all, exactly like you did when you were a child.

Everything is bullshit do what you want.

Pretty sure getting boners when you think you might die are a thing that happens a lot.
people even do that choke stroke shit because being on the edge of death gives intense orgasms.

Suicide attempts are usually impulsive acts. Something pushes a person over the edge, and they go for it with whatever they have at hand and not a whole lot of thought. If you have a gun, you're usually successful. People don't understand how drugs work, though, so a lot of times it doesn't work.

I did what I said I would, /co/, and the thread is still up. It's simultaneously not as bad and worse than I thought it would be.

There's a scene where they talk about how MEN ARE THE WORST and the way in which the panel is arranged, the two characters saying that are looking at the camera. Later on, they intimidate some STRAIGHT CIS WHITE MALE with a Spider-Man fedora. Then she makes a joke about not liking refrigerators a little later because, lol, women in refrigerators, amirite, guys? So clever.

However, the concept of a slice-of-life kind of thing with the whole "Heroes for Hire" but not really in the the heroing way, in the let's use our powers for mundane things. That's an interesting idea. I like the coloring of it. When they don't make the characters chibi, I like the art style enough. I'll check out the next few issues and see what's up.

It very much reminds me of a mid 2000s webcomic, though. Both in a good and bad way. The pacing, the jokes (oh my god retail jobs are the worst u guys!), and the writing are all just very webcomic-y. If this is still up when I'm done reading the next few issues, I'll post another blog and let you know what I thought because what other thread is going to occupy this space? A Steven Universe thread?

Doesn't manga prove a history of women wanting interesting conflicts with a side helping of pretty outfits and cute boys? I'm down for that, not whatever this Hellcat comic is. There just isn't enough substance to it and all of the characters speak with the same 'voice'.

>>84271088
The justification for attacks on people that bring it up is 1) freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism of your speech. You can say what you want, but other people have the right to say you suck, you should shut up, etc. 2) someone telling you to shut up isn't violating your freedom of speech. If the government told you to shut up then that would be different.

This is so stupid. Squirrel Girl hiding her tail is stupid (and why would it look like a hot ass when hidden anyway?). But damn, liking the character due to sharing such superficial characteristics is especially stupid, especially when said superficial characteristics are described via humble-brag. I don't think Leth is all that funny but this one I actively dislike.

I like the idea of her. Sue me.

It's not my goddamn fault that Marvel has no idea what to do with any of their characters and constantly recycles the C-listers in shitty books nobody ever references again.

I liked her portrayal in Jessica Jones. Hopefully the synergy mandate makes her stick around after they fire Leth.

That said, I don't completely hate AKA Hellcat. The art is cute (Shulk could be better) and at least they're doing something with her entourage of sidecharacters. The story could be better - it doesn't know what it wants to do, kind of like TUSQ.

>>84243864
I'll say this, I have a high tolerance for garbage, but I couldn't even get through an issue of this. art is horrible, dialogue is monstrous, story is boring, it isn't even the entertaining kind of bad, I seriously can't see anything enjoyable about it. At least Mockingbird reads like some feminist propaganda parody and squirrel girl makes everyone look like downys (seems like these are all Marvel... hmm)

Hellcat has a lot going for her, but I don't think the current series uses her very well. But then that is true of a lot of current Marvel series.

When you look at a character, concept or team in a shared universe I think it's vital that you crystallize out what makes that character special. What do they add to the universe? What sort of stories can you tell with them that you can't tell with anyone else? For Patsy there's two main things, both of which are tricky to pull off.

First, Hellcat was Marvel's first female Peter Parker. All the major female characters that Marvel had up until that point had either been retiring, fragile romantic interests, or aloof, serious-minded professionals. Patsy broke the mold by being an irreverent, wise-cracking woman who constantly tried to get her teammates to lighten up. Her friendship with Valkyrie worked so well because of this, with Brunnhilde being the straight woman to Patsy's antics. Naturally this is hardly anything unique today, where wise-cracking, quipping female heroes are everywhere, but back then this was something that really made her stand out. Being funny is a vital part of Patsy, and it needs to be captured well.

The Leth series attempts this but it fails at one very vital narrative point. In the classic comics where she appeared, Hellcat was the whacky element in a serious world. She was embroiled in a dark, violent setting filled with death, despair and life-threatening situations and much like Spidey she coped by being flippant. In the current series, Hellcat lives in a whacky, flippant world where nothing is serious. She's a cartoon character in a cartoon world, thus removing the point of her humor. That's probably the most fundamental flaw of the Leth series for me because it's such an intrinsic problem that it affects everything in the comic.

>>84272322

The second vital part to Patsy is linked to the first, and it's the friction generated by her being a character straddling different sides of existence. She's perhaps the first example of a long-running supporting, non-costumed character become a superhero permanently, stepping over from being a model and a celebrity to becoming a masked crimefighter. She's also stuck between the mundane world and the dark realm of the supernatural, often confronting and dealing with demons and other threats from beyond, as well as her doomed romance with Daimon Hellstrom. The frisson created by her being a cross-genre character, a normal woman realizing her dream to become a superheroine, is very fascinating to me. Again, this is not something unique today. Kamala Khan is pretty much the same concept, although for Kamala her self-realization came through the traditional accident rather than actively pursuing it like Patsy. Hellcat hanging out with the Avengers or Defenders in the role of fangirl-made-good was the nave for a lot of her 70s and 80s stories and it's still a great angle today. She still has a foot in her old world of modeling, acting and similar, but the other one is planted firmly in superheroics. This is also something the Leth series attempts to use and actually does decently at times. However the first flaw I mentioned above punctures any impact those good points might have, since you still get the impression she's living in a cartoon version of the Marvel Universe.

There's of course a lot of other details with Hellcat that are great such as her power set and various friendships, but these are the major points about her that I feel are lacking right now.

This was so well put that even not having read any hellcat stuff I found myself agreeing with it.

>>84254650
>It started out with evil rapey football players almost raping a girl

That's just staying true to the original comic, there Amethyst herself, and this is when her gimmick was being a little girl in a body of a hot teenager gem princess, almost gets raped by a demon.

Bendises of the Galaxy (I like that, I'm stealing it) frustrates me more because what preceeded it was SO good. The almost decade long material from Annihilation to Thanos Imperative was cosmic perfection, it was a fantastic set of stories that really did a great job at taking all these characters and settings and building then into one cohesive package.

And Bendis tossed it all away. Look, there's something to be said for wanting to do your own thing. But in my opinion the best cape writers take what was already there and continue to build off it organically, and in the process of doing so tell their own stories.

It's frustrating because Bendis had such a strong base to work off of, and instead just ignores it to do some other bullshit that was nowhere near as good.

Hellcat is definitely not good, but it's just so... nothing. Like OP said, nothing fucking happens in it, any writer that comes after Leth could ignore it and nothing would really be lost. And I doubt any of us expected much from here anyways.

What I lament about GotG is the loss of potential, because I know Bendis is CAPABLE of making something good. And I lament how it dragged down this great era of cosmic storytelling with it.

All caught up now. It's okay. When it's at it's best, it's entertaining. When it's at its worse, you roll your eyes. Aside from at least one to three pieces of dialogue an issue being disgustingly bad, the only truly terrible thing about this comic is the way Allegri drew Shulk. She looks like she's giggling as she runs away from her older brother at the beach in this panel. "Oniichan, thanks for everything."

There is one tidbit that I just want to discuss, though. In #7, when she's signing comics, she makes a joke about wanting to die again because it might be better than signing comics. Then Tom ~shames~ her for it. If the author disproves of making suicide-y jokes enough to have a character point it out (which didn't seem in character for him anyway, he didn't seem like the team mom or anything), why the fuck put that in?

A Teen Romance comic doens't mean that:

- there's no plot
- there's no character developement
- there's no conflict
- there's no correct anatomy

Heck, the very post you replied to has a panel that completely shits on Leth's version, because it has (or it implies) all those things which Leth's version lacks.
