Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! #9

Patsy Walker's love life gets complicated in this charming 2016 Marvel series, as the cover's bold tagline announces a showdown with "Hellstrom & Mad Dog — A.K.A. Her Evil Exes!" Brittney Williams's cover art captures a tense, animated-style scene: a smirking, dark-haired villain in a blue-and-red costume lights something aflame at a table while sharing an uncomfortably cozy moment with a blond figure, all while Hellcat herself stands defiantly in the background, hands on hips, ready to face whatever chaos her exes are cooking up. Kate Leth's run on this title has been winning fans over with its wit and warmth, and this issue looks like a perfect showcase of that playful energy.
