Mockingbird 1: I Can Explain by Chelsea Cain

I'd not previously read Chelsea Cain but really enjoyed this take on Bobbi Morse, as I've been a fan of her since her first days as Mockingbird.

Mockingbird Vol. 2: My Feminist Agenda by Kate Niemczyk

The only disappointment I had with this was seeing Cain's work with Mockingbird end so soon. Such a solid, entertaining, and funny take on her that yet never lost sight of the core character.

I Can Explain (Mockingbird (2016), Vol. 1) by Chelsea Cain

This was awesome! Bobbi is my new favorite. She's ridiculously intelligent competent, and uses snark and wit as well as guns and her fists.

The plot was twisted and really well thought out. I really want to read the issues out of order to see what new things I can discover.

My Feminist Agenda (Mockingbird (2016), Vol. 2) by Chelsea Cain

I'm still bitter that this series got cancelled because it's so good. It's smart, and snarky, and unapologetically feminist. Bobbi is THE BEST and I love that she's allowed to be the kick ass scientist Avenger instead of the former Mrs. Hawkeye.

This volume follows Bobbi on a nerd cruise looking for evidence to save Clint, who is on trial for the murder of Bruce Banner. So tangentially related to the whole Civil War II debacle, but it's not necessary to really know what's going on in the rest of the Marvel-verse to read this. Lance Hunter shows up again, as well as lots of corgis.

One of the things I love about this series is how funny it is. There are jokes hidden everywhere and I love finding them.

I was less enthusiastic about the re-prints of the two issues of the Avengers storyline where Bobbi gets the serumed since the greater storyline was incomplete and it was blatant padding to reach a higher page count. I really wish Marvel would stop that in their trades. It's really annoying.… (more)
