Batgirl, Vol. 1: Silent Knight
by Kelley Puckett
I love 90's art. Fuck you if you don't.
Kidding. I know most dislike 90's stuff in general in the comic world. Especially the art, which is just big muscled guys and ass shots on the women. Still, something about the more cartoony feel makes me just love it soooo much more.
So this volume is 300+ pages of Batgirl. Not Barb but Cassandra Cain. Right off the bat (no pun intended) I really dug this character. She barely speaks, she's a trained assassin, and fights like a motherfucking badass. Think Damien Wayne, but not as much back talk. Also her costume is on f'ing point, I love it so much.
So through the issues we see her begin her days as Batgirl. Batman follows her around, trying to harness her skills, and throughout you see the mentor situation which is always a highlight for me with Batman and his underlings.
Another great part about this volume is she doesn't always win the situations. She loses fights, she loses people, and it makes this character grow in unexpected ways througout the first volume. I was surprised how much I grew to really love her as Batgirl.
Should you check this out? Well it's 10 bucks for 300+ pages of awesome 90's funness. I'd say YES very much so. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
