Niet slecht. Goed genoeg in elk geval om mij benieuwd te maken naar meer...

I love Cassandra Cain as Batgirl. I don’t have a lot of fierce DC opinions because it’s not my playground but if you put my back to the wall, I can talk a mean game about how they never should have made Barbara Batgirl again (she was perfect as Oracle) and they never, ever should have screwed over Cassandra so much before deleting her from reality in their stupid drive to reboot everything for a temporary sales bump. This is Cassandra Cain at her best—confused, compassionate, and capable—and I love everything about this comic except for the art, which is fairly lackluster to me. But it’s worth a hundred looks, especially for Cass’s awesome take on the Batgirl costume.

Great introduction to Cassandra Caine. She's one of the best new characters I've read in a while.

This was good, but not great. It's really interesting, and Cassandra Cain is an intriguing character. It's just a bit uneven and slightly chaotic--at times it's difficult to follow.
I will read more, maybe this is just a rocky start.

Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. The art in the early Batgirl stuff was very touch and go to me, which made me wince a while reading through it, but I definitely appreciated the beginning of Cass' story, and Bab's involvement in that with Cass and with/against Bruce.

This is the start of the Batgirl series featuring Cassandra Cain, who came to take up the cowl after the events of No Man's Land. Ms. Cain is the daughter of an assassin who trained her since childhood to be the perfect assassin. She is now seeking redemption, and Batman and Barbara take her under their wing. I definitely like Cassandra, but this particular volume seemed a bit convoluted at times in terms of plot as well as the panels, so there were parts of the story that I found a bit difficult to follow. Still, the story overall and the character are appealing, and I will seek out other volumes hoping things will get better.

3.5 Stars.

I didn't love the art, and I thought the story could have been stronger. But I love Cass and I love Babs, and there was some good dark humor. So it was worth reading.
