Birds of Prey #99

[sailorlibra.insanejournal.com]

Huntress is awesome. (Particularly when she beats up villains and not other superheroes.)

Context: The BoP are responsible for putting Yasmine in jail, particularly Huntress. When she's released from jail, she decides to get her revenge on Helena. So she sets up a trap.


For a little bit of unnecessary context, the reasons Babs isn't answering is that she's too busy dealing with Misfit.

Feeling kinda underimpressed, like Helena is beating up some schoolyard bully instead of a proper villain.

I know what you mean. All that build-up and Yasmeen gets taken out easily and all it takes is one threat to make her go yellow. It's tough to come back as a villain after that (by comparison even Fat Elvis Catman in Green Arrow had more dignity).

Clothed Huntress! Fun and competent Canary!

My girls. ;_;

also, just advice for the future, you might want to resize your scans to say 600x800

Man, I love Huntress.

-goes off to scan some YO stuff-

[bluejaybirdie.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I love this scene. Particularily how freaking psychotic Helena looks with the antenna. You do not mess with Helena Bertinelli's kids, no ma'am.

Nice to notice a tiny bit of stomach roll under Dinah's suit in the "Bizarro Canary" panel. Lizzie Miller eat your heart out.

*Sniff* Oh god I miss Birds. Hel being a raging psycho, witty repitoire, Dinah having a personality. It's so beautiful.

I love crazy, kickass Helena. You just know she types in all caps when she's riled up and on the Internets.

::snicker:: Oh, this is nifty. 'Brain fu' 'Bizarro Canary'

The total leathery coverup on Huntress gets me off. But the joint shields are a little much. I do miss original elegant pointy Huntress in those old backups.

Dude, their breasts are really prominent in this art. Like, I'm feeling a little be uncomfortable about how highlighted the breasts are in every panel.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

I can't even care, I'm too happy to see Helena actually wearing CLOTHING. However, I do find it pretty hilarious that the artist, stuck with two completely sensibly-attired heroines with clothing all the way up their necks, took solace in dropping the villain's neckline to her navel. DAMMIT THERE'S GONNA BE CLEAVAGE IN THIS BOOK SOMEWHERE!

I actually didn't even notice Huntress' costume next to that GIANT banana yellow SCIENCE! crossbow.

God that thing's hideous.

[thebigapricot.insanejournal.com]

But they are fully covered prominent breasts so it kinda mitigates it.

She caught a student reading one of the Twilight books in class and confiscated it. Out of curiosity, she cracked the thing and took a look.

The capslock was epic. The amazon.com comment page still hasn't recovered.

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

Very action-figure-y, isn't it?

[kamino_neko.insanejournal.com]

I like that...cloak...thing Canary's wearing.

While her normal short jacket's got it's charms, the cloak's more striking.

[thebigapricot.insanejournal.com]

LOL, That's exactly what I see her getting her fandom on for. And she'll totally sneak out, all alone except for a box of tissues, to see the new movie at an afternoon matinee.

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

It's her Shiva-wannabe-badass trenchcoat!

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

But how could she have left a comment unless she bought it?

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Works with Oracle, remember?

[scottyquick.insanejournal.com]

Hence the icon! I expected you to make a funny comment.

YOU'RE NO LONGER MY BEST FRIEND.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Teach me to answer from gmail.

[bluefall.insanejournal.com]

Also, geez! Fickle much? FINE. YOU'RE NOT MY BEST FRIEND EITHER.

[toasty_fresh.insanejournal.com]

I'm of two minds-- on the one hand, sensible costumes! On the other, I now know exactly what Helena's breasts look like from every angle, which, I mean, is a little awkward considering the circumstances . . .

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

She is, apparently, on or about Deadshot level.

Deadshot was never known for close-range kickassery, was he?
