In addition to Huntress: Dark Knight Daughter (aka the definitive Helena Wayne Huntress book), another book I always recommend fans to check out that is regrettably also out of print is Justice Society Vol. 2.
Now,Justice Society Vol. 2 does more than just collect the first three years of Helena Wayne’s adventures with the Justice Society. It also collects “The Death of Batman” story arc from Adventure Comics #461-463, which was considered back in 1979 to be a major event. It was not a storyline that sent off a version of the famous caped crusader, but the Golden Age original. This final farewell to the Batman that started it all in 1939 helped set his daughter up to take up his legacy full time and continue building on DC’s Golden Age mythos.

Ooff. 2017. To say this year was exhausting is understatement. From the continuously disastrous Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom to the political crisis between Catalonia and Spain, not to mention the ever cataclysmic farce that is Donald Trump in the US, to say I wanted so badly to be living on another planet this year is also an understatement. It’s enough to say I completely understand why Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan went to Mars to find peace of mind, and why Valkyrie from this year’s Thor: Ragnarok lived at the bottom of a bottle.

Today in History
In 1941, the Justice Society and their allies battle Ian Karkull who has mastered the arcane forces of the Shadowlands. The radiation released in Karkull’s defeat bath the assembled heroes, apparently extending their lives and affecting them in other, unknown ways.
