Many stories contained in one book, each a sweet lesson. Stories about relationships, the earth, and how termites are actual terrors to bees (it’s true! This book caused me to confirm). RHKG slays it once again.
My foray back into the DC ‘verse continues with the latest DC graphic novel, Shadow of the Batgirl. These non-continuity novels allow our favs to explore new stories with long-standing (and new, too!) characters without taking their (sometimes complicated) history into account. Cassandra Cain is known for being the first Batgirl to star in her own series and she’s part of DCEU with Birds of Prey!
Sarah Kuhn is a beloved writer around these parts so this was an auto-buy for me. Couple that that with the gorgeous art by Nicole Goux and this book is a win-win for me. Oh, and it’s also fucking amazing so there’s that.
Sarah left her orphan backstory intact, setting the story in the library where Cassandra learns to speak, read, rest, trust, and become the hero of her story. Trained as an assassin from birth, you can imagine this girl is bringing some heavy issues into her hero training. Sarah and Nicole explore this trauma and the supports Cassandra receive in (infamous) Batgirl/Oracle, Babs Gordon, and the sweetest caretaker who feeds her and knows when to press forward and when to give Cassandra space. She also dresses Cassandra in an outfit plucked right out of Sarah’s Instagram.

I’m a fan of Chip and Kris so picking this up was a no brainer. The first of two issues, we are quickly introduced to the problem, with minimal character and world building.
Everything about this comic is constantly perfect and I adore it.
HUGE CLIFFHANGER! I thought this arc was ending and then dang!
I’m not sure if it was Abigail’s intention to leave me sobbing on an airplane with no one to talk to about my feelings but here we are.
So when are we getting a CW show cuz this is perfect material! Fans of The 100 - this series is for you.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so invested in any sport as much as I was invested in this fictional story.
