10 Criminally Underrated Comic Book Runs EVERYONE Missed

8. Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! - Kate Leth & Britney Williams

Most Marvel fans will probably recognise Hellcat from the now cancelled Jessica Jones series on Netflix, and though the character doesn't suit up in that show, Patsy Walker is a fully-fledged superhero in the comics.

She's long been a part of the street-level circuit in Marvel's version of the Big Apple, but few books have ever devoted time to fully explore the character. That changed in 2015, when Kate Leth, Britney Williams and Megan Williams penned a whole new series based on the hero, called Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!

The book was cancelled after its seventeenth issue, and never quite generated the momentum some of Marvel's other books did at the time, but it was still fantastic, showcasing Walker reconciling with her childhood whilst living life in a city that is constantly on the move.

It boasted a gorgeous art style, a sharp script, and a cult following, but it wasn't enough to stop the series from concluding in its 17th issue two years on from its debut.
