    Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg Dec 4, 2024

    Batgirl #2 is a captivating balance of action and character. Tate Brombal is taking Cass (and us!) on a rollercoaster ride. With her world rocked by the arrival of a new villain, we might finally see Batgirl learn to trust her mother. The prospect of exploring their relationship alone is enough to propel the story in to issue #3. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Dec 4, 2024

    Batgirl #2is a super-solid entry in the miniseries that takes everything that worked about the first issue and builds on it. Tate Brombal's script is a pleasant mix of fighting and heart, and Takeshi Miyazawa's art style suits the story beautifully. That said, Brombal's lack of clarity about the nature of the conflict is a sore spot.8/10 Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - D.M. Grant Dec 6, 2024

    It's the last act of the issue that brings my feeling up a bit. While the characterization has been solid where Cass is concerned, I've not loved Shiva's depiction. But as I started off saying, I'm still buying. Read Full Review
