The Best of Huntress and Power Girl: Justice Society of America Annual #1 Review

Title: Justice Society of America Annual #1
Story: Earth-2: Golden Age/The Hunted
Characters: Huntress (Helena Wayne), Power Girl
Creators: Geoff Johns (writer), Jerry Ordway (artist)
Publication Date: July 2008
Available In: Print | Digital

Summary: The first half of the JSA Annual opens up on the parallel world of Earth-2 with a distraught Helena Wayne ruminating over the tragedies she had endured as a consequence of being both the Huntress and her father's daughter. More specifically, she has noticed a consistent pattern in which the Joker and various other villains had been systematically attacking the people in her life in response to their own mortality and out of a strong desire to keep their legacy alive in some way. The more recent of these tragedies was the disfiguring of Helena's boyfriend (fellow DA Harry Sims) by the Joker in an attempt to create a new Two-Face. It is at this point that Helena makes the decision to kill the Earth-2 Joker once and for all before he continues to destroy more lives.

The Best of The Huntress: The Brave and the Bold #184 Review

Title: The Brave and the Bold #184
Story: The Batman's Last Christmas
Characters: Huntress (Helena Wayne), Batman
Creators: Mike W. Barr (writer), Jim Aparo (artist)
Publication Date: March 1982
Available In: Print

Summary: The story opens with Batman doing the Father Christmas gig by anonymously dropping off some toys at a local orphanage, which brings smiles to the children residing there. Meanwhile, in another part of Gotham, Commissioner Gordon waits alongside the Bat-signal for Batman to arrive. His officer is sceptical of the likelihood of his showing up that night and is quickly silenced by Batman's timely arrival.

Once inside, the commissioner informs Batman of the high chance he'll be released of his position by the newly elected mayor, Hamilton Hill. Batman reassures him that he has nothing to worry about as he has outlived worse administrations before. Gordon then informs Batman of some stolen records that were supposed to be turned over to the police by an unnamed accountant, and has named local crime boss, "Spurs" Sanders, as the perpetrator. Batman goes out in search of the gunsel who retrieved the records for Sanders and tracks down a man in a Santa suit.
