? Re: BoP...Look of the Huntress

[mgs]

On recent Sequential Tart site, one of their column's goes into what they'd change about the use of women in comics.

At one point, they brought up BoP. And had this to say:

"See, back in the No Man's Land arc that spanned all of the Batbooks a few years back, Huntress, during a vicious and desperate fight against the Joker Gang, got shot four times in the abdomen.

She took a licking and kept on ticking.

Now, imagine facing down a very pissed off athletic woman who's not only got the most vulnerable part of her body uncovered, but the cut-out in the front of the top is designed to flaunt the scars she's got. The message is clear: others have tried to kill me and failed; you don't have what it takes.

Only, with the exception of a Brian Bolland piece, NOBODY drew the bullet scars. So, instead of a mega-cool assertive statement, Huntress's new costume was nothing but cheap, tacky, T&A, and I'm so glad it's gone and she's wearing something much more practical."

Let me just say that I love Bolland's works, but is this true?

Before revealing her new outfit in the Hush stoyline she made a deal with Tommy Elliot the surgeon with the hands of God. For a man that can correct Herald of his various physical and mental deformities, among performing others acts that were previously within His domain, erasing bullet scars is easy peasy.

My Huntress question, if anyone interested is how she went from an agent of Checkmate to a bird of prey?

It involved Pancakes and a 1953 edition of the encyclopedia Britanica. No one talks about it much since the "Luxemberg war" crossover that took up most of 1994 isn't discussed much and has been pretty much ret-conned out of existance.

Yes, it’s very good if you would like to play a Suikoden type rpg that has a battle system similar to the Star Ocean till the end of time. While you are playing the game there will come a point where the story will branch in to two different paths. One is called human and the other is called Fairy. In order to maximize you gaming experience and enjoy the radically different endings to their fullest you should first play the human path and then once you beat the game go to a previous save point and play the fairy path. Those that did it the other way around were upset so avoid that pitfall.
