Batgirl #1 is an interesting start to this series that will hopefully examine and challenge the strained mother-daughter relationship between Lady Shiva and Cassandra. Hopefully the series will continue to build and expand on the relationship between the two and setup some more stories for Cassandra Cain's solo adventures in the future. Read Full Review

This issue delivers a near-perfect mix of action, emotion, and mystery, promising an unforgettable start to Cassandra Cain's journey. It's everything a first issue should begripping, dynamic, and full of potential. Read Full Review

Batgirl #1 doesn't break new ground but it does everything really well. The storytelling is things we've seen before but Cass' observations and how that and the art come together to deliver the details feels fresh and different. While this may appeal mostly to fans of Cassandra Cain, it's a debut that's well worth checking out. Read Full Review

Sharp and sweet first issue of this new series. The story is established quickly and effortlessly, as are the main characters. Read Full Review

This is a solid start to a book that has a ton of potential, and above all else, the creators have proven their bonafides in representing two of the coolest women in comics. Read Full Review

Batgirl #1 was really fun. The story is not overly complicated, and I think anyone can jump right into this series without feeling lost. Tate Brombal has stated that Cassandra Cain is his favorite Bat-Family character, and you can definitely tell that he and the creative team cares. I'm excited to see what happens next and how Batgirl and Lady Shiva's complicated relationship further develops and what secrets get revealed. Read Full Review

Batgirl #1is a simple, straightforward start to a Batgirl miniseries that should make Cassandra Cain fans happy. This issue isn't breaking new ground or reinventing the medium, but Tate Brombal brings Cain back to form and Takeshi Miyazawa's art is very good.7.8/10 Read Full Review

Batgirl #1 has all the pieces to make it a strong debut. Unfortunately, how all those pieces are assembled makes the structure fall apart even before the final piece is placed. This simply comes down to the overcompensation in Tate Brombal writing trying to prove he knows who Cassandra Cain. This leads to Takeshi Miyazawa never getting the chance to properly compliment the story and showcase Cassaindra Cain as the badass she is through the artwork, creating an uneven reading experience. It's a shame that it doesn't all come together as it should because this title certainly has a ton of potential, something that we get many hints of in this first issue. Read Full Review

Solid story, good writing and good art. I'm not entirely knowledgeable about the character, but this book did a good job of describing her personality and background enough for me to catch up with dragging the pace down or anything like that. I'll definitely be reading this whole run.

I'm going to get a lot of flak for this review but bare with me on my final thoughts. In a world where there is a ton of new comics hitting the shelves every other week and where the cost of trying something new probably puts people of actually trying something new DC bring us Batgirl. The art was okay and the story was yet another attempt at make a pretty one dimensional character into something for the cosplay fans to make there own. Did they succeed in both fronts??? I'm open to either way but them I'm seriously not the target demographic but im more than willing to keep giving this time to grow.......JM

Nothing really happened. A short fight, a jump out of the windows, a Shiva' temple just there...is on fire a fight start. The end. Art is inconsistent, dialogue barely there.

Instantly forgettable
