A Drop In Quality
I was disappointed in this Huntress story based on the character La Bruja. La Bruja is a supernatural character who didn't seem to fit the Huntress mold. Helena Bertinelli is the Huntress and at this point she is a brand new version of the character as she was just rebooted two issues ago. She still hasn't found her father's killer or who and why it happened. It seemed ill fitting for this supernatural character to pop up. Can you imagine Batman dealing with a character like Dr. Fate after three issues. It just didn't seem to fit.
La Bruja seemed like she was going to be a mentor or an assistant in crime fighting. After reading the whole series I know she really didn't do much and only really dropped in a couple of times with little character development. This made her appearance here even less appealing.
The rest of the book didn't have much of a story. The building of the plot with Mandragoa was necessary but it didn't move very smoothly and seemed choppy. I know that this origin story becomes adapted and is and has become legend but in it's hard and original form it just isn't as cinematic as I would like to see and have seen since then.
I thought this book was just an average comic over all. I'm not a fan of the art but didn't mark down for it. i would not recommend this book to anyone who wasn't a Huntress fan but, if you are a Huntress fan than this is a must have because it is an original origin story. I gave this book two-and-a-half out of five stars or a five out of ten.
