It looks like this is Madison's first comic work. There's a newsarama interview if your interested:

All right, wow; I have no idea if this will be any good, but her background is unusual enough for a comics writer that I'll at least give this issue a try.

I already read this when it was called Batman/Huntress Cry for Blood. I can't see it being any better than what Greg Rucka wrote.

Word up whirlwindx!!
I'd be more inclined to buy this if it was by an art team I have heard of ...

After sayin' that ^ ... I bought it, and was surprised at how good it was. It's definitely worth checking out, and I'll be buying issue #2 to see where things go.

Yuck, i couldn't even bring myself to finish this one. The art was competent, but the captions were so hackeneyed and overwrought i wanted to vomit.

Anybody know about the creative team on this one? I like Huntress but I'm not sure about committing to six issues. I'll probably look for the TPB if I hear it's good.
