Huntress #6: The Happy Conclusion (unlike the rest of Earth-2 right now...)
Forget what actually happens with Ibn Hassan, I'm just going to get straight to the scene that matters most in this series conclusion!



PEEEEEEEEEEEEEGE! Just like old times. ♥
She looks so majestic here, I don't think there's enough squee in the world to describe how happy this makes me. This especially made me smile:
"We've both been busy, haven't we...partner."
Tries not to read too far into that line. :3

okay. i have to admit that was nice... still don't like that we lost helena B... not one bit... but i am not gonna lie and say this was not a GREAT mini, and can't wait for the other two seriesesses

However...this mini eventually became very formulaic--sneak into a place, mess shit up, escape, sneak into a place, mess shit up escape, sneak into a place, mess shit up, escape, and so on and so forth. It's almost like Levitz had an idea for a one-shot that was awkwardly expanded into a mini-series.
Hopefully, Levitz doesn't follow such a strict formula for Worlds' Finest.

If he's given free reign on Worlds' Finest, I'm sure he'll do fine since he's always been great with characterisation. More than likely, his stories on Worlds' Finest will be more character driven than plot-driven like this mini was.

The Michael Holt (Mr.T) line would have worked sooo much better if "Karen Starr" hadn't been written so poorly and not even as a real love interest (basically as a cipher even and even without drawn a bit differently - skinnier and not as muscular as To's). In retrospect, I think they really dropped the ball with the Mr. Terrific title. The character deserved better. Maybe they can move him to Earth-2 too?
no subject
But hey--maybe Levitz might pick up Terrific and start writing him over in Worlds' Finest. :)

And his revamped origin wasn't great.
Old DCU: I'm suicidal because I lost my wife, but thanks to meeting a superhero I realized I could still do a great deal and found the strength to carry on.
DCnU: I'm suicidal because I lost my wife, then I meet my son from the future so not only do I decide to live I decide to risk my life and this my unborn son on a daily basis.

Just like with so many of the unnecessary costume changes (Mandarin collars for everyone, give Power Girl a "P" logo, have Superman wear armor, give "Shazam" a hood), the reboot of Mr. Terrific was just not as good as what DC discarded. You really get the sense that with the exception of the 4 Robins (which seem clearly a case of Editorial favoritism to me), the new DC despises even the idea of Legacy characters.

What if in the New 52, after the accident Michael was sent to the hospital to tend to his wounds, gets put in a room, and his roommate is a strangely verile old man named Terry Sloane, this 80 year-old man with the body of a man in his 40s, and the two get to talking--Michael about what happened, and Terry about being in the same place and using his skills to help people as an adventurer (not super-hero) nick-named Mr. Terrific, which inspires Michael to follow in his footsteps.
Not only do you get just about the same origin with little problem, but you also do it in a way that nicely subverts the old "magical negro" troupe.

Same, I love the way he draws women. If I had to change one of the artists on Worlds' Finest, I'd replace Kevin Maguire with Marcus To. Nothing against Maguire, but the way he draws women's faces always look so strange to me. :/
Much motto on how poorly Peege was handled on Mr. T's book, though iirc, I believe they're moving Mr. T over to Justice League when his solo series concludes. And truthfully, considering the kind of Earth-2 James Robinson is writing, Michael is FAR better off staying where he is now. :(

Really? Do you remember where you heard that? I don't remember hearing that at all. I know they've said they're going to try to get a lot of the cancelled characters into other books--OMAC in JLI, Static in Teen Titans, etc., but hadn't heard that one.

Though, to be fair, I'm not sure if I see many of those characters becoming part of the team fairly soon (Ryan, GA, Element Woman and Mera, probably--Firestorm, not so much).

I know art is a luck of the draw thing, but still. Nice to see that some people out there can still draw a nice looking PG.
Plus, adorable BFF. I love Bat/Super friendships.

One has his hands on his knees panting, while the other is pushing up the brim of his cap as if to say:
"Yup. Those are two extremely attractive, fashionably dressed women flying away in defiance of the laws of physics....I'm not even gonna try to shoot them. Instead I'm gonna head back down, grab a coffee and forget this ever happened." XD
Also, not to repeat what has already been said but THAT ART!!!

And I am always happy to see comic book ladies wearing fashionable and sensible clothing.

I mean, I know DC is hoping that people who read this will go on to read World's Finest, but seriously.

Things were planed maybe one or two months earlier, even the whole planing of Infinite Crisis was changed in some aspects at last hour. One or two months of preparation is nothing. Since Didio´s supervision editorial planing has been desapearing slowly.
Editorial planing doesnt just mean "hey I have an Idea" but serious work, the whole act of the DC Nation column to make everything see as It was "planed since the begining" makes nosense when you see what were they publishing at the time.
Changes in script and artist at last hour were all over Robinson´s run on Justice League as in many other books.
And If they was any cordination there was no comunication, not good comunication at least.
But if by organicall you means that they have developed as they go, then I completly agree.

This is strike two, please let World´s Finest be Awsome, you have more than TEN YEARS OF ARCHIVES oh I forgot, this days authors dont do research because they are to lazy to do real work or good writing.
But this is Levitz, and he did a perfect work in Adventure Comics with Phil Jimenez.
Was becasue both or just because of Jimenez? Cause the new Legion kind of Sucks.
