New 52 Anniversary: Why Did Helena Wayne Use Helena Bertinelli's Name In The New 52?

Hello. It's been a while since I've done a written post on here, hasn't it? And it's not just because DC hasn't been publishing any new Justice Society content apart from the Stargirl: Spring Break Special and the recently concluded Infinite Frontier miniseries. I've also been doing most of my nerd writing at CBR since early this year with now over 100 articles published on the site, covering everything from comics, manga, anime and television. 

Of course, I wouldn't be a features writer at CBR today without my Huntress blog, which is now officially 10 years old. Around this time a decade ago, I created this blog to share my love of the original Helena Wayne Huntress –– the character that made me a long-term DC fan.

Helena Wayne Set To Appear In Infinite Frontier #1

INFINITE FRONTIER #1
written by Joshua Williamson
art by Xermanico
cover by Mitch Gerads
card stock variant cover by Bryan Hitch
June 22 | $4.99 US | 40 PAGES | 1 (OF 6) | FC | DC

When our heroes saved the Multiverse from Perpetua in Dark Nights: Death Metal, everything was put back where it belonged…and we do mean everything. All the damage from all the Crises was undone, and heroes long thought gone returned from whatever exile they had been in. Most of them, at least. Alan Scott, the Green Lantern from the Justice Society of America, has noticed some of his allies are still missing in action, and he’s determined to find them. There are others, though, who would rather remain hidden than explain themselves, like Roy Harper, a.k.a. Arsenal, a man who should be dead but now is not. Plus, what does all this mean for the DCU’s place in the Multiverse? On opposite sides of a dimensional divide, both Barry Allen and President Superman ponder this question. Not to mention the Darkseid of it all! Or a team of Multiversal heroes called Justice Incarnate!

PATREON | Aquaman Review

I realise this review is two years late and on the heels of The Trench (which I was looking forward to) being cancelled. Still, the 2019 Aquaman film by James Wan is, in my opinion, the best DCEU film to date. Talking about it now is still as good as ever.
