17 on DC Comics Announces New Birds of Prey Series with Cassandra CainOn Monday, June 5th, writer Kelly Thompson took to Twitter to announce that she would be writing a new Birds of Prey series for DC Comics, releasing in September. The artwork will be done by artist Leonardo Romero, who revealed a first look at Black Canary, the new leader of the team. An all-new era…
Last month Batgirls began the final arc in its run. The focus this time is on The Hill and the community that resides there as they react to a shocking sniper attack and rally to protect those they care about. This issue takes all that and builds on it, bringing together much of the cast…
Welcome dear readers to the first issue of Alyssa Wong's Spirit World in honor of AAPI heritage month. Following their first appearance in the We Are Legends short story within the Lazarus Planet event, Xanthe Zhou returns to lead their own original series. Xanthe must gather allies to rescue Batgirl from the mysterious Spirit World!…
Batgirls moves into a new arc this month, focusing on crime situated in The Hill, the Batgirls' home and main location they strive to protect. The crime in question is a sniper, and as the girls investigate they learn more about the place they’ve come to call home, and the others living there. I’ll start…
With last month’s silent issue leading up to a promised confrontation between the Batgirls and Cluemaster, this one only has to fill in the blanks of Stephanie’s time with her dad while Cass was searching for her. The series has been intent on creating building up an emotional confrontation between child and parent, so lets…
After a couple issues where the Batgirls were body-swapped the girls have finally returned to their own bodies. With Stephanie still in the hands of Cluemaster, it’s up to Cassandra to save her. And what better way to do that, than with a silent issue? This issue of Batgirls has no spoken text at all.…
The Batgirls have found themselves in quite the situation this month. After swapping bodies and being kidnapped by their own parents, just what are Steph and Cass going to do to get to the bottom of this whole mess? I wish I could say this issue took the Batgirls Annual and built upon it in…
It’s time for Batgirls to have its first annual! With more space to tell its story, and an extra issue this month, Batgirls dives deep into the lives of two of its titular Batgirls, Stephanie and Cassandra, and looks at the parents who shaped them in a very Freaky Friday kind of way. So, let’s…
Hey folks! Matina is out, so I'll be handling the Batgirls review this week. I'll be up front, I haven't been keeping up with this book week to week, but I did some rush reading in preparation for this, so if I get something wrong, you know why. Alright, with the disclaimer out of the way,…
The mystery of the Hill Ripper continues in this month’s Batgirls. Their investigation deepens as outside sources give them help and support. Additionally their relationships grow and change in their day to day lives. I mentioned this in my last review, but I feel like with this arc the story is finding a groove that…
Batgirls #10 continues the girl’s investigation into the Hill Ripper and who killed their neighbor. The story feels light and fun, and keeps the detective work split evenly between Barbara on her own, and Steph and Cass. For me, something in Batgirls clicked this issue. We’re ten issues and a couple arcs in, and I…
Catwoman #45 brings the Bat family into the series in a major way with mixed results. While Selina and Bruce’s on again off again relationship has never truly left the series, here Tim, Stephanie, Cassandra, and even Dick Grayson all make appearances. These interactions inject some nuance into Selina’s current headspace, but the narrative stumbles…
After dropping Seer off at their door, and promising to help her the Batgirls finish making good on that agreement this month as they wrap up this two part mini-arc. Featuring not only the Batgirls, but Nightwing as well, it’s sure to be a fun one. I enjoyed issue #8 of Batgirls. It’s not perfect,…
Now that Batgirls has wrapped up its first arc, the story is moving forward at a steady pace into its next one. Last issue ended with Seer literally knocking at the girls' door, one of their enemies having come straight to them. Will they hear out her plea for help, or send her packing? Already…
Batgirls is at the end of its first arc, and what an opening story it’s been. Packed full of new locations, bad guys, and adventure the girls have been more than busy. Let’s see how all the pieces of their first puzzle come together, shall we? This issue of Batgirls pretty much picks up right…
My excitement over Batgirls seems to be dwindling with every issue I pick up. Five issues in and I feel like the plot is in roughly the same place it was at the very start, which doesn't make for a very exciting story. The Batgirls are still fighting the same set of villains they were…
With the Batgirls making headway into their investigation into Tutor last issue, will they finally catch him this time around? And what about all those other villains they keep tangling with, will they make any progress finding them this month? We’re four issues into Batgirls and honestly? It still doesn't feel like it knows what…
The Batgirls are busy busy busy as they try to settle into their new home, and unravel the many mysteries surrounding them. Last month they made some headway on that, but were interrupted at the end by Tutor hypnotizing a crowd of people and even Stephanie! Just what is going on here? This issue continues…
With the first issue of Batgirls behind us, I find myself excited to see where this series is going. Issue #1 got the trio together up, and left off with the exciting introduction of some antagonists. This next issue promises to build off all that and give us even more fun than the first, so…
It’s here, one of the titles I’ve been asking for almost since the moment I fell headlong into Batman comics. Batgirls! At long last we are being gifted a title featuring not one, not two, but all three Batgirls together on their very own adventure. It’s safe to say I’m very excited for this series,…
