141. West Coast Avengers ongoing #3 ... Marvel ...

Remember in our last review we mentioned about sub plots and character development? Well, as the cover shows, this issue focuses on Tigra. Now, for those who do not really know about Tigra, a little history. There have been many different cat like characters in the Marvel U. However, the 2 weakest of them all is Tigra and Wolfsbane (New Mutants). Why? Well, Tigra is supposed to be the human embodiment of the strongest, fiercest warrior of the Cat People and yet all she does is behaving like a schizophrenic ... with tons of phobias ... generally ineffective in fights

Honestly, I have no idea why she wants to be a superheroine. A loooooong time ago, she joined the Avengers and left within a few issues when she realized the Avengers' time of villains are way beyond her. So when WCA is launched, I was surprised she is included. Maybe as the token scantily clad woman of the team? Hahaha!

Here, she reflects upon her yet again dismal performance of the past issues where she was either ineffective (against Ultron obviously) or failed to win any fight (Man-Ape). So what does she do? Why she decides to prove herself to herself by going out to find and kick Kraven's @$$

Kraven is supposed to be the mightiest warrior hunter in the animal kingdom until he did the craziest thing by trying to hunt Spider-Man. I mean, come on. Spider-Man is a man. So how can you even consider hunting him? Much less make it into a TV show or whatever? Anyway, let's shelf that aside for the moment and switch SPOILER ALERT ON

Did Tigra win? What do you think? Hahahahahaa! If she did, why do you think the cover had Hawkeye and Mockingbird to the rescue? Naturally, in the contents, she gave Kraven a hard time until he used one of his many potions on her and she was whining away saying that she had him if only he didn't use his "tricks"! Come on, dear! What do you think this is? A sport with rules? You are fighting villains and you get to use your full abilities like claws, speed, strength. So why should your opponents not use their full array? It's because of your inability to pre-plan that you lose out all the time. So stop whining, baby!

Ratings: 6/10 (mainly for the action sequences)
