Here’s the third installment on our Gotham Female Character series, “Batman & Huntress: A Cry for Blood” by Greg Rucka. Huntress is being framed for the killing of mobsters, which puts her on the outs with not only the GCPD and the mob, but the bat-family, too! Her only ally is a royal pain — The Question. In this tangent-filled episode, we talk about the phenomenal art of Rick Burchett & Terry Beatty, Helena’s character development, and hairy-chested wise mountain men. Plus, there’s new World of Warcraft expansion and Gundam talk. We even find time to play Quotes.

We read fan favorite anti-hero Harley Quinn for the first time ever this week as we pick up “Harley Quinn: Hot in the City” by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner. In this trade, Harley moves into an apartment building she somehow inherited in Coney Island. She frees puppies, has visitors, and fights of bounty hunter mercenaries all while cracking wise. We talk about the cool multi-artist first issue, the slew of jokes (both beaver and otherwise), and poop. Plus, since we’re all back together again, we play Quotes!

We kick off our Gotham City Sirens series with “Catwoman: Dark End of the Street” by Ed Brubaker. After years of being the kleptomaniac cat burglar, Selina Kyle’s trying to find a more stable place to be in life and finds herself defending the forgotten souls of Gotham’s East End. We join her on her initial foray into do-goodery and talk about the awesome role this particular part of Gotham plays, the great artwork, and the little details of character that get it oh so right. This is a quick & fun episode, so no games this week. For more info on past shows, go to www.WelcometoComics.com or become a patron over at www.patreon.com/WelcometoComics.
