Scarlett #3

The suicidal heist teased in the last issue is delivered here as Scarlett infiltrates the impregnable facility and completes the assignment likely securing herself a spot within Arashikage. We get cameos from Storm Shadow and Jinx here fighting on another level of the facility and discussing the likelihood of Scarlett’s success, but this issue really does center around our title character kicking ass for several pages as she works her way down the facility, first through shark-infested waters, and later through a slew of security and mercenaries.

Batman #243

Throwback Tuesday takes us back more than 50 years to Batman‘s pursuit of Ra’s al Ghul around the world ending at a secret base high in the Himalayan Mountains and the first appearance of the Lazarus Pit. Written by Dennis O’Neil and drawn by Neal Adams, Batman #243 begins with Batman besting Lo Ling in combat forcing the other man to help the Dark Knight Detective find the illusive Ra’s al Ghul leading the pair to Switzerland and a run in with Ubu and Talia (one of who treats him much more warmly than the other) before storming the refuge of the Demon’s Head only to learn of Ra’s recent passing.
