Eh, I was just glad when this nonsense was over. View all 3 comments. When a mobster winds up dead with a crossbow bolt in his chest, all signs point to The Huntress! My wife got me this for my birthday.
I've long found the peripheral members of the Batman family to be more interesting than Batman and the Earth-2 Huntress is one of my favorites. This is the first post-Crisis Huntress story I've read and I liked it quite a bit. Helena Bertinelli is t When a mobster winds up dead with a crossbow bolt in his chest, all signs point to The Huntress! Helena Bertinelli is the daughter of a mobster, the last Bertinelli after seeing her whole family slaughtered when she was a child.
Now, she fights crime in Batman's image but in a more lethal fashion. In this outing, she's framed for murder. Guest starring the Batman family plus The Question!
It reads more like a crime comic than standard super hero stuff, not surprising since Rucka was one of the masterminds behind Gotham Central. Rick Burchett's art is pretty slick. On an odd side note, back in the day I dated a woman whose mother dated Rick Burchett when they were in high school. I like how The Question was an integral part of the tale, more so than the Batman family, and that he and Helena didn't immediately become entangled.
I also like that Helena didn't go all goody-goody at the end despite the guidance of The Question and Dragon. Maybe I missed out by not reading more post-Knightfall Batman stuff because I want to read stories featuring The Huntress. She's no Helena Wayne but I like this Huntress quite a bit just the same. Four out of five crossbow bolts. Feb 28, L. Different than I expected The thing is it looks like they were shot with one of her arrows.
Pros: The story is pretty interesting. Note: obviously it still is a superher Different than I expected The characters are pretty interesting. This book is more about Huntress than Batman and I must say, her story and the character as a whole is pretty bad-ass. The action scenes are pretty good.
Cons: So at one point the plot sorta turned to a different, honestly not as interesting direction for an issue or two. This story felt kinda rushed. That is surprising for a six-issue miniseries but really I think it would have been better if it was 2 or 3 issues longer. Mixed thoughts: There was one scene referencing specific events from another story and the characters were even arguing about it.
Overall: A good, not great comic. Oct 22, Viola rated it really liked it Shelves: dc , comics , new-comics , best-comic-covers , comics A Great Helena Bertinelli focused miniseries.
I liked the characterization, backstory, Helena's chemistry with the Question and not shying away from showing Batman in a more negative light, calling out his hypocritical treatment of Huntress. The art was the great kind of simplistic. I also liked Tim's drive to prove someone was obviously framing Helena, it shows that he's the best Robin fight me. I A Great Helena Bertinelli focused miniseries. Really great book! After seeing Huntress in Arrow, i wanted to get to know the character more, and this is a great story to jump onto.
This book is set a while after No mans Land, where Huntress is hunting the mafia and she has a on the rocks relationship with batman. She is framed and hunted by the police and batman, and with the help of The Question, she must find out who really did it! Highly recommend it! View all 4 comments. Apr 29, Tiara rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics , dc-comics , graphic-novel. This was fantastic. This story left me satisfied unlike The Hiketeia. Now don't get me wrong, The Hiketeia was very well written, but just felt abrupt and like it could've benefited from being much longer.
Did not get this feeling here. I'm still a novice in the DC world, but Rucka created another great starting point for learning about another character in the DC universe. In fact, I think she may have just become my favorite character. May 01, Wendy rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-manga. I have been meaning to read this since No Man's Land because I wanted to understand Helena Bertinelli and understand why Batman was such a jerk to her then and now.
Through her eyes, I saw Batman in a new, not so pleasant light. Rucka once again does a masterful job of baring the soul of a character and presenting it to the reader in a package filled with depth and emotion. I like this one - but don't love it. It's not Rucka's fault I can't fit this into my mental timeline; but something about it didn't sing for me.
I do love the way he handled little-girl Helena, and I loved seeing the Question in this role. I'm left with a lot of questions. Maybe that's the point? I loved everything about this book from the retelling of her origin to her relationship with the Question.
May 17, Seth rated it liked it. This was a pretty good story, the Bat-Family and The Huntress trying to solve the mystery of who is framing the Huntress for her cousins murder.
I liked the story well enough, I just didn't love the art or the ending so much. Feb 28, Wayland Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: superheroes. Rucka is a fantastic writer, and, for whateve reason, particularly good with female characters. He does a great job with everyone here, althogh I really don't think we needed another telling of Huntress' origing, but that's me.
Helena has finally more or less gotten the seal of approval from Batman, making her life in Gotham a lot easier. Then a mob boss her preferred prey shows up dead by crossbow bolt her preferred weapon.
Now Huntress, with some help from the always enigmatic Question, has Rucka is a fantastic writer, and, for whateve reason, particularly good with female characters.
Now Huntress, with some help from the always enigmatic Question, has to solve the case while avoiding both the police and the Bat-family. I love Rucka's writing, I'm a fan of the Question, and some versions including this one of Huntress. I enjoyed this. Recommended to fans of Huntress, Question, and various Gotham tales.
Dec 30, Hilary "Fox" rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics , mystery-thriller , own , , series , fiction. It's all the better for being that. When one of Huntress's enemies is found dead with a crossbow bolt in his chest the world all turns on her. She's up to her old tricks again, isn't she? Who else would be running around with a crossbow, after all? Things are made significantly worse when she accidentally ends up nailing Bruce in the chest with one later. The only person she has left to turn to is one Vic Sage, the Question, who is asking a number of those himself about the situation at large.
This is a great Question comic, and the backbone for the Justice League Unlimited romance between Huntress and Question that I grew up loving so much. There are so many great scenes, and a fun bit of intrigue to unravel the drama between the mafia families of Gotham. This works well as an origin book for Huntress, and a deeper look into what makes Vic tick.
Got this one for my partner for Christmas, and I have to say I think he enjoyed it just as much as I hoped he would. Long live the Question. Jan 05, Kier Scrivener rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics , mystery , graphic-novel , female-main-character. It was completely solid, the art was integrative, telling a story all it's own, weaving in and out and with background information and evocative images.
Rucka's writing was top tier from the first to the last page, Helena's characterization and story was impactful and allowed a new reader to understand and immediately be drawn "Identity is fragile, we construct it out of glass and pretend it's cast in iron.

It was emotional, it was funny, it used the characters of Gotham well. View 1 comment. Dec 14, Aidan added it. The Godfather references are almost too many, but honestly they were pretty fun in how detailed they were. The wedding sequence in particular was a fun twist on such a classic scene. The art was nice, but not perfectly consistent. She was probably my least favorite from the movie, but this comic collection was on point. Absolutely enjoyed! This book is the BEST!!! It is funny and very exciting.
It's defendant one of the best mysteries I've red. I am a big huntress fan and when I saw this book I just had to read it. I loved reading about Huntress' backstory how the author built her characters. Greg Rucka is a name I've only started to come across even know he has been a large name in the medium. I'm very lucky the Birds of Prey film was made, otherwise this would've been impossible to find.
The Huntress character has such a strong history and it's a shame she has failed to make an independent dent in the DC universe. Why the 4? It's a solid storyline but it isn't a classic.
I'm amazed how they rete 4 I had been hunting down this storyline in its original trade but it had proved elusive. I'm amazed how they retell The Huntress storyline and only allow her to function under the Birds of Prey team banner.
Once upon a time this girl was Batman and Catwoman's daughter, it's been a long time since that. The storyline is quick and offers some playtime for another obscure DC character to shine.
I enjoyed the book overall but it's based as an origin storyline and if you read Huntress Year One, you've already read the core storyline. I only hope The Huntress gets a better play in the future and a named writer. Sep 30, Rachel rated it it was amazing. Greg Rucka is honestly at his best when he can write short, standalone stories. He also is one of the best writers currently in mainstream comics, or he was until he quit both DC and Marvel. This is an older work of his, and his strengths as a writer really shine through.
For those not in the know, Huntress is a vigilante from the Batman universe, and she has a strained relationship with Batman and his family at best. This book is not really a Batman story, but the compilation probably highlight Greg Rucka is honestly at his best when he can write short, standalone stories. This book is not really a Batman story, but the compilation probably highlights Batman to sell the series to comic book fans.
