What irks me about the Huntress miniseries is that it was so plainly written pre-Flashpoint, but then we get to issue #6 and that cretinous retcon leading into World's Finest #1. So no, it wasn't Helena Bertinelli Huntress at all, it was Helena Wayne, coping remarkably well with witnessing the destruction of her homeworld and her father's firey death during the whole Italian escapade.
As for Supergirl/ Power Girl, it seems the most traumatic thing about crossing realities is going up several cup sizes.

Oh yeah I did find that slightly annoying as well. The only hint they had in the earlier issues that I notived was her talking to the cats.I always try to ignore the retcons\continuity tying stuff as I read them because they do it so regularly. Why couldn't they just have left it as it was and have two huntresses on the same earth?

Oh yeah, totally. I mean I'm not one for too much angst but it just seemed to lack depth. I''ll see how they are in the next couple of issues but probably drop both World's Fienst and Earth 2. Dial H for Heroes seems to be the only interesting new one out.

I wonder what the average cup size in the DC universe is now. Ever since Catwoman in the mid 90s they seem to be growing exponentially (and considering how few wear a sports bra I'm sure some of the gymnastics are painful!).

How you getting on with that? I'm a big Buffy fan but I couldn't really get on with the comics.

I really do buy too many comics from ebay. Today at work I had 6 packages for me, they contained:

Green Arrow Vol 2 - 67-69, 71-80
Green Arrow Vol 3 - 36
Infinite Crisis- 2,3,6
52- 5, 11, 12, 14, 37,42,
Brightest Day- 10

But at least they averaged (including P&P) less than 98p an issue.

On my regular pickups this week was only Justice League #10.

But also picked up a cheap old issue of Amethyst with the new title launching soon (which actually turned out to be her last regular appearance).

And I also grabbed Showcase Presents Justice League of America Vol 2. Always good.
