☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the 1989 Huntress series, chronicling the adventures of Helena Bertinelli as she carves her own violent path through Gotham City's underworld. The stories explore her dual identity as a vigilante and the daughter of a slain mob boss, balancing her quest for justice with the dark legacy of her family name.
In "From Each Ending... a Beginning!", the legacy of Gotham’s darkest hero takes a haunting turn when a tragic accident forces the Golden Age Batman to retire, leaving behind a fractured past and a daughter determined to carry on his mission. Helena, the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle Wayne, steps into the shadows as the new Huntress, chasing justice for her mother’s fate and confronting the dangerous past that brought it all to light.
In "A Choice of Destinies," Huntress tracks a pattern of arson in South Gotham, where a shadowy figure manipulates a boy into planting a time bomb—just as she pulls three lives from the flames. Back at Cranston, Grayson and Wayne, the tension mounts as young lawyer Roger Demarest bristles at Helena’s promotion, his frustration simmering beneath the surface of the firm’s polished facade.
In "Gotham Town Is Burning Down!", Huntress races against the clock to expose Councilman Gresham as the mastermind behind the South Gotham fires, only to find herself trapped in his home with damning proof in hand—just as the flames close in.
In "Trial by Fire," Huntress confronts Councilman Gresham, the man who set her aflame in a twisted bid to clear South Gotham for redevelopment. After narrowly escaping his deadly trap, she turns the tables weeks later when he stumbles into her ambush during a tour of the scorched district. With a chilling twist, she forces him to face the consequences of his own design—his own bomb, planted the night before, now in his hands. The story unfolds with tense, grounded stakes, as justice arrives not with a hero’s speech, but with a quiet, devastating finality.
In "The Speaker in the Shadows," Jo finds herself drawn into a dangerous game when Harry, once a shadowy opponent of Gotham’s crimefighters, shifts tactics after uncovering Helena’s secret. With the city thrown into chaos by a sudden crimewave, Jo must navigate a web of deception where every ally could be a threat.
