And this day just keeps on getting better & better.

First, the wedding cupcakes for Cat & Amanda arrived (which made them happy, in turn making me happy) & I just now got this…proof, I guess?…from Agnes Garbowska of my Huntress & Question commission!!

And I’ll have the physical copy in my hands next week.

Good day, I’d say!

This may be my favorite from your Huntress collection!

THE HUNTRESS IN REVIEW: PART ONE

This story comes to an end, not without one huge, lingering question. Does Question wear the mark?

Question doesn’t intend to let Huntress go through with it. But is it too late?

There’s no simple solution. Only sacrifice that Helena and Renee are both willing to make for the other. These were my favorite scenes - powerful writing. I believe Greg Rucka was channeling the scriptures:

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Huntress and Question know they can’t beat Cain, he’s immortal. They want to know what he wants from them.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace… The Lord is with thee…Blessed art thou among women…

One of the reason Greg Rucka is my favorite Huntress writer is that he never forgets that faith is fundamental to Helena Bertinelli. It’s the foundation upon which the character was created. Helena is a woman that dwells in conflict: with herself, with her faith, with her God. Like a pendulum continously colliding, her emotions are complex which make some of her decisions confounding. Despite Helena’s imperfections, there’s an honesty in her that’s relatable.

Vandal Savage/Cain blames Huntress and Question for his predicament.

Even when odds are stacked completely against her, she’s always going to take action - Huntress is a person of action. She’s wired to fight. She doesn’t know another way.

If you read Final Crisis: Revelation, then you know Huntress and Question are about to be in some deep….

Veronica Cale gives Helena and Renee some information that leads them to the person who supposedly helps fund her work. They head to Syria and just as fast as they arrive, they want to leave. It smells fishy.

Helena and Renee meet Veronica Cale. It was a pleasant surprise to see this character. She’s awesome but not used much. I hope Greg Rucka will allow other writer’s to use her in their playground.

From the opening pages of Huntress’s inclusion in the Question co-feature, the bond between Helena and Renee was instant, yet it never once felt forced or fake.
