Helena Bertenelli Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) (DC Comics) My formative comic book years came in 2002 and 2003, a time when I could pick up all of Helena's early career moves in volume form and experience drawn out serialized stories as single tomes. For me, Helena is a beautiful, unhinged demon that menaces Gotham City in a different way than someone like Catwoman. She's more dangerous, first of all. She bays for blood, and unlike Batman, she sees her war as one against people. Batman's war is one for people. A foil in many respects, Batman has restraint that Huntress lacks the compunction to find. Instead, she aggressively breaks every rule in the Batbook and then fails to understand why that ruins her connections to Batman. The fact that she was fired from the Justice League really speaks volumes for her inability to have self-control. A madwoman. A zealot. Rating: 85/100 Great_Paul posted... Sly Cooper Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper) Sly comes from that generation after Crash Bandicoot where the writing starts to improve in children's games and we get some polish to personalities. This doesn't particularly translate to good storytelling but at least the anchors of the titles are not completely devoid of any dimension. Sly's design draws you into his burglar ways, and who doesn't enjoy a good heist? Alas, however, the heists with Sly aren't good, but merely average, and after finishing any Sly game, he sinks into the forgettable middle ground of video game history. Still, in his moment, he was a fairly good character Rating: 62/100 Murphiroth posted... Akira Nishikiyama (Yakuza) Akira Nisihikiyama (Yakuza) In fact, I have only played one single Yakuza game, Yakuza 0, but I did enjoy it. The storytelling was complex but never complicated. In a lot of ways, it reminded me of old movies like Hard-Boiled and Police Story, coupled with Sleeping Dogs in some respects. Ultimately, I do enjoy explorations of gangs and crime, and Nishiki proved to be a great foil for Kazuma Kiryu and an interesting character in his own right.
