This is quite an accomplishment given how often this type of relationship has been explored in the comic books. This sort of relationship is quite an accomplishment. Read Full Review
Brombal makes sure to include enough space in this issue of Miyazawa to go completely nuts with a pair of two-page spread pages before we get to the big cliffhanger, which introduces another major player in Cass' past back to the DCU. This series has not disappointed for a minute yet. Read Full Review

And will Batgirl ever trust Shiva? Read Full Review

Three issues of fighting ninjas, running, meandering. Wasted paper.
