which continued into the next issue, STF #1388...
Then they visited their parents in STF #1877...
They ran afoul of gangs in STF #2625...
And the last time, they were manipulated by Mesmero in STF #2972...

I'm not up to speed on the current version of Huntress's origin. But in the version I've just read she is the daughter of Batman and Catwoman from Earth-something-or-other.
When are you going to break the news to Clint?
Big bow and little bow. Such a cute brand with their own label.
Nice to see H&H, the Purple Archer Siblings, together again.
BTW, even though Hawkeye isn't named on the cover, the H/H tag really does belong on #3238. I think it does count as a part of their sibling saga.
Another sibling saga I'm hoping you revisit soon is the Strange Brothers. Maybe we could learn that their father (or grandfather) is Thomas Hugo Strange. Or maybe they could have to deal with their distant cousin Bellatrix, from the Lestrange branch. Or they could go outside both their wheelhouses and find themselves facing Wile E. Coyote or Pinky and the Brain.
@Davejonz: We've yet to see whether this Helena is Wayne or Bertinelli, though I'd suspect the latter based on some of the covers she's been on -- mob connections are implied on at least three, while Bat-connections are absent.
It's Bertinelli - which is an spin on Barton for the earth-STF Versions of these heroes.
I wonder if Tobias Whale is still up to his Machiavellian tricks from your last (masterfully disguised) trilogy. ;-)
As in STF #'s 3286, 3289, and 3291?
;-D
They even look like they go to same tailor. Great cover.
Would be cool to see big brother Barney "Trickshot" Barton to go after his sister.
I think it would be very interesting if Marvel and DC ever actually had these two meet, only to discover that they're Rule 63 versions of the same individual!
Ye-Haa BG!!
Yeah, I can see it now:
"What's she got that I haven't got?"
"An extra X chromosome."
"What are you talking about?"
"Where you have a Y chromosome, she has a second X chromosome. Otherwise you're completely identical."
"I... I... I... I... I..."
"Too bad you didn't succeed in making out with her. Then you could tell Oliver that you've already done what he keeps telling you to do."
Cue banjo.
"Dink-dink-dink-dink! Dink-dink! Dink-dink!"
@Bob Greenwade: "Rule 63?" Is that an NCIS allusion?
@Cary: Internet Rule 63 has two versions: "For any given male character, there is a female version of that character." "For any given female character, there is a male version of that character." It's been used for many years by fanfic writers and cosplayers, though it's also been notably used in comics and other media (including TV's Sliders).
Oh! I just call that "Logan St. Clair Syndrome."
Funny, it never occurred to me that their costumes look alike.
Except, of course, Hawkeye isn't wearing a cape (for practical reasons).
Yet Taskmaster does. Not many cape wearers in the Marvel universe is there?
I wonder why. Even Howard The Duck would look cool with a cape on.
;-D
