Looks like this issue will be tonnes better than the last, and Helena sheds more light on her upbringing.

I’m led to believe now, Earth-2 Batman was just like his original Golden Age version, who used to kill people. I also think she’s being more Selina-like in her approach to fighting crime. Maybe Earth-2 Selina was the post-Crisis Selina? I’m starting to increasingly believe this is *very* likely.

Of course, one of the only other worse things that can happen to a superhero besides being captured by the bad guy, is when said bad guy happens to be your own nephew trying to get a hold of the family fortune!

( Throw in some chains, some electrical shocks, some family drama and you've got... )

This one picks up right where the last issue left off...it was an okay read...the easter eggs did make me smile! :D

And yes, I did say *easter eggs.* You'll see! ;)

( 4 pages worth of *SPOILERS!* 8D )

So Helena Wayne asks: "What do you give the man who has almost everything?" A very legit question considering Bruce Wayne is very much the 'Prince of Gotham.' An abundance of wealth, a mansion, an expensive penthouse, fancy cars, cool gadgets, lots of dates with sexy women both inside and outside of the Justice League, etc. All in all, the guy has it all very much handed to him on a silver platter. Should the man ever decide to marry (which he did in another lifetime), he'd fall nothing short of having a Royal Wedding of his very own.

But Helena does make one thing of note: he is a man who has almost everything. So now the question becomes "what doesn't he have?" Well family for one, and a reminder that there is still love in the world for two. Possibly *three* if she wasn't already related to him in some weird way, though I'm sure plenty have thought it (the pervs)…

Anyway, in stark contrast with the previous story I posted where Batman spends his holidays playing cat and mouse with a known foe (although there is a little of that too), this story focuses on the most important message of Christmas of all: love and family. Two things Helena Wayne is good at demonstrating to a man who has *almost* everything! ;)



( Lo and behold! My favourite Bat Christmas story ever told in all of its Slashy Glory! :D )

On a completely unrelated note, The Dark Knight Rises official trailer is finally up and legal! :D

So do you remember Helena's team-up with Catwoman in the post-Crisis continuity, where Selina basically left the security dogs to chase after Helena so she could focus on bypassing a complex security system? Well, I think Helena finally found a solution to that problem in Huntress #3!

And damn, there were so many good scenes in this issue, 4 pages doesn't even begin to do it justice. On the bright side though, I think Levitz finally dropped our first "official hint" on Helena in this issue. I promise it's a very *subtle* one. I think. Maybe.

Anyway, moving on...

( 4 pages of SQUEE! for your viewing pleasure! 8D )

Or at least according to Batman-News anyway.

( Details at Eleven. )

( For legality...HOLY BULGE THERE ROBIN!!!! Or are you just happy to see Helena? )

I can't tell you how badly I wanted this to be a busy day at work just to make the hours go faster, but nevertheless I managed to get home with this little jewel in hand. ^_^

Sadly it was a bloody long wait for issue #2 and it didn't turn out quite as exciting as I thought it would be--especially after the last issue--but given the slow pace, it still had it's moments.

( Like Helena liking her Italian cookies with her cases! )

Not sure how this works if you've already posted two pages from the preview, so just to be on the safe side, I'll just post two pages from the Huntress book that wreaked of all shades of awesome. ♥



( At least we have one heroine in the DCU waging a personal war against the sexploitation of women )
