This series really, really deserved better villains. At worst, they’re insensitive stereotypes of lustful Arabs; but at best, they’re just imbeciles who get killed off like punks. The Chairman’s bruiser bodyguard, the one person who’s managed to even seriously wound Huntress in this entire miniseries, gets taken out with an electric socket. That’s disappointing. (Though I commend Marcus To for his commitment to accuracy in drawing the European plugs correctly.)
This series works best as a series of pretexts for Helena to plan ambushes, sneak around in disguise and punch people, but that’s really not ambitious enough. It feels as if the only reason we’ve reached five issues is because there are so many henchmen and minor villains. But there’s still one bad guy left — and one issue left — so let’s see how Paul Levitz can finish this off.

Are they stereotypes of lustful arabs? If they were just a group of arab men, maybe. As it is, I see them as a pretty honest picture of how the average tin-pot deposed dictator and his cronies act as soon as they find someone who will take their blood money.
