Red Hood #1

DC Comics released Red Hood #1 yesterday with the cover featuring Jason Todd aka Red Hood and Helena Bertinelli aka the Huntress. Here is the official summary:

"ERUPTING FROM THE EVENTS OF H2SH COMES DC’S FIRST-EVER IN-CONTINUITY, MATURE READERS, ONGOING RED HOOD SERIES! Jason Todd has left Gotham and Batman behind him. All he’s taking with him is his costume, his bike, and a metal briefcase containing two handguns (and lots of bullets). New Angelique seems like the perfect place for Red Hood to put down roots. There’s crime, vice, and corruption everywhere. When Jason discovers a superpowered serial killer who is targeting the city’s police, he finds himself sucked into a terrible and bleak conspiracy with seemingly no end in sight. But Jason isn’t the only person on the scene. Following his trail is Helena Bertinelli a.k.a. Huntress. Is she here to stop him or help him? What will happen when the two black sheep of the Bat-Family start working together? Get ready for Red Hood like you’ve always wanted to see him."

Unfortunately, DC Comics Cancels Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Red Hood After One Issue Following Charlie Kirk Comments. I'm turning off comments for this post because I don't want any hateful comments.

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special came out this week from DC Comics.

Here's the official summery: "In the wake of the We Are Yesterday crossover epic, a mysterious Quantum Quorum has emerged… stalked by a lethal enemy that takes no prisoners. The League deputizes a rag tag group of time displaced heroes like Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne to fill the void left behind by the Time Masters and save the quorum from the mysterious threat that’s picking off time-travelers one by one. These Legends of Tomorrow are the only ones standing in the way of this cascading chronal Armageddon with the past, present, and future teetering on the brink in this oversized special leading to the next big DC All In event!"

The front cover features Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, Gold Beetle, the Huntress and Batman Beyond. Batman and Superman does not appear in this special and Wonder Woman only appears briefly. Mister Terrific, the Atom, Red Tornado and Supergirl also appear briefly. This issue introduces a new name and look for an existing superhero that goes by the name of Legend.

Women Wednesday: The Huntress on Justice Society of America #1 Cover

The Huntress (Helana Wayne) is the sole survivor on the cover of Justice Society of America #1 from DC Comics. The former JSA members are "ghosts" in the background and include Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Flash (Jay Garrick), Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Wildcat, Sandman, Hourman and Starman. This continues the story started in The New Golden Age one-shot issue and is a must read before reading this issue. Catwoman is also inside this issue along with a very interesting JSA that her and the Huntress leads twenty-six years from now.

The New Golden Age Ad

Geoff Johns is bringing back the Golden Age of DC Comics in a one-shot special called The New Golden Age coming out on November 8, 2022. This will lead to a new Justice Society of America title and Stargirl: The Lost Children. The new JSA team will consist of Hawkman, Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Dr. Fate, Huntress (Helena Wayne), Power Girl, Wildcat (Yolanda Montez), Dr. Mid-Nite (Beth Chapel), Jakeem and Thunderbolt. I can't wait for the one-shot special and the new titles.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 26: DC vs Vampires #10 Cover

Technically, this is more a Women Wednesday post than one for Halloween since Batgirl and Huntress are on the cover of DC vs Vampires but I couldn't resist posting it (hey, it does have vampire fangs in the title's logo so there's that):

Women Wednesday: Doctor Moongem Meets Huntress, Supergirl and Zatanna

While I was playing Doctor Moongem in DC Universe Online, I got to meet the Huntress, Supergirl and Zatanna. The Huntress actually had me find clues in the Justice League Watchtower (that place is huge and easy to get lost even with the map). I had to save Supergirl before helping her save Superman. I actually helped Zatanna on a couple of missions.

Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #17

The cover of DC Comics Bombshells #17 is the same as #16 featuring Batwoman and Catwoman. Yeah, the former appear in this issue while the latter appears out of costume towards the end of the issue. The real star is Helena aka the Huntress, which is shown playing a guitar on page 1:

Batwoman is out blowing up tanks in 1940 Berlin with her exploding baseballs. She comes across swing kids and falls instantly for Helena, who is playing an odd guitar in the band (notice how different it looks from the one on page 1):

Helena pulls out a crossbow from her guitar when Nazi zombies attacks the swing kids.

Helena introduces herself to Batwoman while the pair fights the Nazi zombies. Not only does she play guitar but she also claims to be the leader of the German Youth Resistance. The pair leave the building and she spots Selina's coupe. She does a quick costume change, which basically consist of making her short skirt into a long dress. Helena hides as Selina pulls up with Lex Luthor. Kate distracts them while Helena gets into the trunk. As they drive away, Lex shows off his new discovery, which is a glowing green rock.

Convergence: Detective Comics #1

The pre-Crisis Earth 2 Huntress and Robin are on the cover of Convergence: Detective Comics #1 (June, 2015):

The issue actually starts off with Earth 30 Superman doing a fly over a National Superman Day parade in Moscow when the dome comes down. Then it switches to Dick Grayson aka Robin and Helena Wayna aka the Huntress in the batmobile between Gotham City and Metropolis. They arrive just in time for the dome to come down and trapping them inside. The story goes back and forth between the two trapped cities while they deal with life within the domes.

Once the domes disappear, Robin and the Huntress are teleported to Moscow while in the batmobile. They meet the Russian Superman with different attitudes. Robin just wants to talk while the Huntress wants to attack. Superman wants to talk too but things takes a turn for the worse when she tries to flee in the batmobile.

While I love seeing Robin's hybrid costume, the artwork is a bit muddled for me.

Convergence: Justice League International #1

Convergence: Justice League International #1 (June 2015) has a nice cover:

Metallo is walking down a street of the pre-zero hour Metropolis causing destruction to the city along with his drones. The Justice League International shows up to kick their butt. Blue Beetle introduces them more like the Justice League Metropolis since they have been trapped under the dome for a year. This team includes Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, Martian Manhunter, Captain Atom, Fire and Ice.

The dome rises and they get their powers back just in time for the Kingdom Come Justice League shows up. This team consists of Wonder Woman, Shazam (I guess he's no longer Captain Marvel in that alternate universe either), Obsidian, Nightstar, Jade, Huntress, Creeper and Blue Beetle.

Happy International Women's Day

Countdown to Halloween 2013 Day 26: Halloween at Gaia Online

Gaia Online is celebrating Halloween in a big way with their Halloween 2k13: Vengeance battle. You can choose to side with Jack or the Easter Bunny (of course, I went with the former):

The shop owners are once again wearing cool costumes and handing out candy. If you collect twenty-two pieces of candy, then you can trade it for a prize (I'm was at twenty-one before the game crashed on me). Ruby is dressed up as the Black Widow from Marvel Comics but with blonde hair:

Vanessa is dressed up as the Huntress from DC Comics:

Batman's Injustice Team

Batman's injustice team from Injustice: Gods Among Us #25 includes Batman, Catwoman, Black Canary, Batwoman, Huntress, Green Arrow and Black Lightning. Missing is Captain Atom. This needs to be a poster:

The Huntress On Arrow

I was going to save this for this week's Women Wednesday but then I figured I better post it today before I forgot about it because it is so horrible. 1st look at Arrow's revenge-seeking Huntress in costume shows a picture from Entertainment Weekly. Sorry, but this costume is so generic that it fails big time. At least add a little color instead of just black.

Women Wednesday: Birds of Prey XXX

I'm speechless not because Birds of Prey XXX is an adult film but that the costumes for Black Canary and the Huntress looks pretty cool. Always nice to see Barbara Gordon as Oracle. Unfortunately, they used face paint for their masks.

DC Comics should team up with Sinister Comixxx and put out a comic mini-series based on this movie.

Women Wednesday: DC's Women of Zero Month

Thanks to Comics Continuum: DC Comics For September for providing the covers (you can read the summaries of the issues at their site)

I wonder if Batgirl is wearing toeless boots?

Batwoman's rather plant her boot in your face:

Birds of Prey #0 features Black Canary, Batgirl and a tattooed woman:

Is it me or has the size of Catwoman's booty finally caught up with her boobies?

Dial H #0 features the first user of the Dial:

Sword & Sorcery #0 features the return of Amethyst:

Voodoo #0 is the final issue of the series:

I really should be reading more of Wonder Woman since it blends horror and superheroes:

World's Finest #0 featuring Earth 2's Supergirl and Robin aka Power Girl and Huntress:

Women Wednesday: Earth 2 Robin

According to DC Universe: The Source's Earth 2 Character Designs - Robin, Kevin Maguire designed Helena Wayne's costume.

Power Girl's New Costume

Yep, Power Girl's Boob Window Gets Get Closed in a New Costume is sad news for cleavage fans:

However, I do love the artwork by George Perez. I really like to see more of the two in the background. Some are speculating that they were the Supergirl and Robin of Earth 2.
