3 on Batgirl #5 ReviewThe Unburied strikes again! And this time, the mysterious monk-warriors have captured Lady Shiva and taken her to an unknown location. Even though their relationship has been tumultuous to say the least, Batgirl does care about her mother and is now in hot pursuit of her captors. Will Cass be able to save Shiva before…
I can’t tell you how excited I am that Batman: Wayne Family Adventures even exists, let alone got published not only as a Webtoon, but got a physical release as well. This comic has been my number one favorite thing DC comics has published since it’s initial release back in September of 2021. I’m delighted…
Batgirls enters its final issue this month as it wraps up a short arc focused on The Hill, the people within, and the Batgirls place in all of it. As the series comes to close, it strives to tie together themes and ideas from the series, as well as the arc itself. Let’s take a…
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…
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,…
Batman vs. Robin #3 runs like clockwork, efficiently setting up an easy to track sequence of events that deliver fun action while also digging into the core dynamics of the Bat family. Art duties are split between Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski, who both turn in solid work without a noticeable shift in quality. However,…
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…
Batman vs. Robin #2 delivers a spectacle of exposition, clearly establishing the stakes and motivations of every character. It’s a risky endeavor, but Mahmud Asrar’s sense of style and Mark Waid’s sense of humor elevate what could have been a dry read into a thrilling, and often funny, chapter. Right from the start, Waid’s script…
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…
Batgirls continues this month with it’s more focused narrative, aiming it’s story at just a few elements rather than trying to tackle everything and the kitchen sink. Last month they wrapped up the plotline focused on Seer and the Saints and now time for the Batgirls to move onto a new mystery: Just who is…
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…
Hey guys, and welcome back to another issue of Justice League-- No, wait. That doesn't sound right. Let me double-check something... Okay! Good, I was worried for a second. Last month was definitely the final issue of Justice League. Clearly, there must have been a printing error. Let me check the cover again. ...Weird. That's for sure the Justice…
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…
