Excellent points. I really wish Huntress was interacting with Batman more these days. I think Steph has good points - but I don't think that her hypocrisy helps fans like her more (except for me
), and there's a serious problem with Steph, who in Dixon and BQM's hands has always had a really strong element of loving fun and enjoying being a hero, becomes the "stop having fun" girl.
There have been two significant rumors that Tynion is leaving Tec, and he's doing way too many series right now - Tec, The Immortal Men, all the Metal tie-ins, and the NOPE JUSTICE stuff. Going by sales, he's pretty solid, and going by what he's said in the past, he wants to stay for another year to get to 1000. However, Gleason wanted to stay with Tomasi for 100 issues, and he is getting shifted to Action without Tomasi after only 40. So clearly sales/editorial has their own plans. So the two rumors are really making me anxious (plus the fact that this last story arc, while having some incredibly strong issues, like 973, also has some really weak issues, like 974, and Steph's plot is clearly not working the way Tynion wants it to work, or he wouldn't be writing whiplash decisions for her).
Again, if Tynion gets a Gotham Knights title and Steph is part of it, I have no worries whatsoever. But if Steph is written off of Tec, and no one picks her up? I'm going to have some serious problems.
