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.
