The Huntress Podcast is back to talk classic trap cliffhangers, no ties to humanity villains and the awesome hero known as the Huntress. Summary by our own Diane Darcy: News of the Huntress allegedly killing a bank robber has spread like wildfire throughout the mainstream media, and Harry Sims once again castigates his girlfriend on how she handled a dangerous criminal irresponsibly. Fed up with her boyfriend's rebukes, Helena Wayne fires back at him by pointing out how he's losing perspective on a case where evidence of her involvement in the criminal's death is faulty at best. Upon Harry revealing that all of the criminals she's "tangled" with recently has ended up dead, Helena begins to take notice of a suspicious recurring pattern. If all of these criminals are "dying" on her, who is signing off on their death certificates and where are their funerals being held? Taking a closer look at each of the criminals profiles, she narrows down her suspects to the personnel of one funeral home in Gotham. The only one in town seemingly "interested" in these criminals. When the Huntress goes out to investigate the suspicious funeral home, what she sees next may be more than she had bargained for. Who is the Undertaker and why is he killing off all of these criminals she's been capturing? More importantly, what is he up to and why?   Write to us at [email protected] www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork https://wrightonnetwork.libsyn.com/website

  Summary by Diane at https://www.helenawaynehuntress.com/2017/02/the-best-of-huntress-wonder-woman-302.html#more There is a new bank robber in town and his name is Pat Pending. Pat is no ordinary bank robber as he comes with some state-of-the-art technology that facilitate his thefts with little resistance. That is until he makes the mistake of hitting six banks in a row and grabs the attention of the Huntress! During his latest theft, he finds the Huntress waiting for him and engages him in a fight. Despite his arsenal, Pat Pending proves to be no match for the Huntress who knocks him out cold. However, he doesn't go down without pulling one last stunt of his own--one that gets the Huntress to flee in panic! Did Pat Pending take his own life, or did the Huntress go too far in her use of violence? And what does this disastrous exploit mean for Helena Wayne's relationship with Harry Sims who wants nothing more than for Helena to give up her alter ego? Helena Wayne knows she has a deeper mystery to unravel, but this is only the beginning!

It's an ordinary day for Gotham's high school students as they attend a career day fair at their school. Also attending the event is Helena Wayne as a guest to talk about the law profession. The students are less than enthusiastic about the job prospects, prompting them to ask Helena what it is about her career that makes it "fun" for her. Helena answers the students' questions about the details of her job and then talks about what she "enjoys most" about it by very implicitly talking about her exploits as the Huntress. Helena gives an example of such a case by discussing an earlier exploit she made as the Huntress earlier that day - Diane Darcy Write to us at [email protected] https://wrightonnetwork.libsyn.com/website www.patreon.com/wrightonnetwork Bluesky: Huestone44
