"Patsy Walker has been banging around the Marvel Universe since 1944. Introduced as a romance-comic ingénue, she became a superhero, married the son of Satan, died, got trapped in hell, developed new superpowers and returned to life. But you can enjoy her new series without any of that byzantine backstory, because writer Kate Leth has come up with a brilliantly simple premise: Walker starts a temp agency in New York City for superpowered individuals who don’t particularly want to save or destroy the world — they just want decent jobs. Penciler Brittney Williams incorporates manga influences to produce panels bursting with kinetic, kick-ass cuteness. Patsy Walker is one of several titles, like The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, that carves off an out-of-the-way corner of the Marvel Universe to allow long-underused deep-benchers to shine."
