Huntress #6: The Happy Conclusion (unlike the rest of Earth-2 right now...)

[aeka]

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

I'm trying to figure out how I feel about this mini in general--on one hand, there have been some fun lines/moments, and HOT DAMN THAT MARCUS TO ART.

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.

My experience reading Levitz' pre-Crisis Huntress stories is that he does conclude story arcs in a timely fashion and excels best when he write's character-driven stories. Since this was a mini and was given a fixed number of issues to write with a clear objective, he didn't really have much creative control here.

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.

I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it--in fact, I would think having six issues would make him try to be creative and do something unique with each issue, something I don't think he really did.

To give you some perspective, if he had more creative control, he would've concluded this story in just three issues. But he had to write six issues, so he had to write some fillers. Or at least, I felt issues 2-3 were filler issues. :/

[darkknightjrk]

I think that almost makes my point more. If he had to spread out his story a bit more, couldn't he have at least done some different action sequences?

[aeka]

Not really.
