Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood by Greg Rucka
5.0
EDIT 18/10/09—YAY I MET RUCKA TODAY AND IT WAS EFFING AWESOME! *COUGH* That is all.
I loved this since Rucka really explores Helena's past (although I do lament the Earth-2 version of her) as a child within an underworld family, the effect of witnessing her parents' and brother's death, and the consequences of such relations years later. The twist at the end is rather satisfying. However, the ironic thing is Batman isn't really involved in this plot so much as Question (made more appealing to me by the reminder of his fantastic cross-medium counterpart in Justice League Unlimited), who seems to understand Helena a lot more than most others care to. It's too bad things don't work out in the end.
