Huntress Year One #4


The Huntress has her showdown with Mandragora . After taking care of some very incompetent lackeys Helena pins Mandragora to the wall with two bows in the palm of of each of his hands. While he teases her that he knows that she hasn't killed before and that she wont kill him he brakes one of his hand free and grabs his drink from the downstairs party that he was having and tosses it right at Helena. Helena the shoots a bow in his heart. She quickly jumps out of the window with no second look and hides while some more of Mandragora's "special" security checks out the noise that they just heard. But the Pope who is in the courtyard knows that it's Helena and that he tells her that he thought the good capes didn't kill. He tells her that the man that pulled the trigger, that killed her family was inside that party and that he would be at the funeral for Mandragora . As the pope said the hired thug was at the funeral and after it was done she followed him and waited. Thinking that she had him, she sprung into action but was caught of guard. The man making short work of Helena told her that when she gets better at this she was welcome to try again and then he would have the privilege of killing her then, but now he was heading to Gotham. Not liking the fact that she shouldn't go after him right now again and heal her wounds or as well as heading back to Gotham, she does to kill her Family's killer. She returns to Gotham and finds that the man that she had feelings for Tony, was now married and that the wedding reception was at Wayne Manor and since Tony's father was a known boss she made her way to the reception to find her family's killer and finish this once and for all. But at the same time Bruce "The Batman" Wayne had a sting operation going on to take down Tony's father as well.


I really like this story, I like the direction it's heading in. It's a real nice evenly paced story not to choppy or slow going. The pace of it is real great. I know it's nearing the end of the series and it's gonna be a shame for it to end. It just shows how bada$$ Huntress is. I really enjoyed her quick brush in with Barbra Gordon in the bar it was a real nice tie in for Birds of Prey Fans. Also she has plenty of stand out dialog as well in the issue.

Fans of Huntress YOU WILL ENJOY this, as well as Birds of Prey fans. so if you fit into one of those or you want a good read i really suggest that title to you.

Hulk #4


The Watcher appears to oversee the battle between the two Hulks (the red and the green) and the Red Hulk clocks the Watcher.(yes that's not a typo for as long as i have been reading comics that ranks as a top moment for me) While the watcher is down (with some humorous dialog from the Red Hulk) the Green Hulk gets up and charges right into battle. The Green Hulk gets some good ones on the Red Hulk. But that didn't last long at all, the Red Hulk got back into the battle and overpowered the Hulk breaking his arm and subduing him and rendering him unconscious. Meanwhile Iron Man Trying to find out more to the mystery of the Red Hulk when Maria Hill shows up with a shredded coat drenched in Gamma Radiation a coat that belonged to Doc Samson. When the Green Hulk a wakes he is High above a bridge with the Red Hulk looking down on him gloating about the importance of this to him. Pulling out a gun and trying to kill the Hulk, Hulk then biting the gun and making it useless then starts to rumble with the Red Hulk high above. But it didn't take Red hulk long to put the green one down. While high above the Red Hulk gloats again saying that no one can take him down that he is the strongest. But at that same time the Mighty Thor appears to correct his statement.


I really did like this issue it had a bunch of moments that were instant classics such as the Red Hulk beating on the Watcher and the battle between the two Hulks which was done up great by Ed McGuinness. I hear a lot of people saying that the Red Hulk is Samson but I really have to disagree with that statement due to the fact that it is way too obvious for it to be Samson. It's a great read to pick up and enjoy and you won't be sorry that you did.

A must read in my opinion something all readers can enjoy I'm not a huge fan of way too cartoony art but the battle between the two Hulks just kicked A$$.

Wolverine #66


The old man Logan story starts here. The villains had finally beaten the heroes. With some dead and some in exile the universe had became a changed place. None can officially confirm what happened to the man known as Wolverine other than that he had disappeared. 50 years latter we see Logan now settled down with 2 kids and a wife. That wasn't the only change for Logan his attitude was the biggest no longer the enraged Wolverine but now he is now more of a pacifist. But life isn't easy still for Logan. Facing with not coming up with his"rent" money in this new world Logan encounters the Hulk gang ( Bruce "The Hulk" Banner's grandchildren). Who is trying to collect on Logan's debt for his rent. The Hulk gang Beats Logan down and tells him he owes double next month. Hawkeye (now Blind) comes to tend to Logan's wounds. This is when Hawkeye tells Logan that he has a job for him. He needs a package to be delivered across country and he needs Logan to be the navigator. The job would pay 500.00 if Logan took it. Logan understanding that it's a lot of money accepts the job and heads out with Hawkeye to now changed world......

I really enjoyed this issue. My only concerns with it right now are that it's an 8 issue story i just hope that they don't get too caught up in a back story that it takes away from the actually story. Or that the story doesn't begin to get redundant after a while. I think that this would have been great for it's own mini series but not a part of the Wolverine title. But over all it's a great issue the art is amazing and the story is a very interesting one that should get you hooked. So go out and grab this one.
