Get Your Comic On - Neil Vagg
Apr 02, 2025With Batgirl #6 Tate Brombal steers the ship to a blockbuster conclusion for its first arc. Make no mistake, this is by no means the end of the story. After a dynamic and beautifully rendered fight with Kalden and the Unburied, this month's issue leaves on a potentially heartbreaking loss which will fuel the story for months to come.

Apr 02, 2025This series has surprised me from the start, as it's really called back to some comics that are beloved by the fans but rarely acknowledged by DC. Very excited to see where it goes for act two. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Christian Gonzalez
Apr 02, 2025Batgirl #6 did not disappoint. The conclusion to the "Mother arc was emotional, action-packed, and it left me wanting more. I know it might be early to say this but if the series continues to maintain this quality, we could be looking at one of the best Batgirl runs ever. This series has been so much fun; it makes me want to go back and read that early 2000s run by Kelley Puckett. Congrats to the whole creative team. You've made me a fan of Cassandra Cain.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Apr 06, 2025And with a major, extended plot arc in the rear view, Brombal is free to frame Cass story in a direction thats going to have the opportunity to be something much more interesting. It will remain to be seen if the series IS ble to harness those aspects of Cass that make her such an interesting character, though. As it is, he IS casting her in a light that continues to be really, really appealing. Its just a matter of throwing her into a confolcit that feels a bit more interesting than that which she might manage with her mother. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - D.M. Grant
Apr 07, 2025At the end of the day, I was left unsatisfied with this opening arc, but not with the title. Brombal has shown off enough Batgirl bonafides to keep me invested in where she goes next, but I've had my fill over overwroughtly-written Shiva screaming matches for one story. Read Full Review

Excellent story of Cassandra's pain with dealing with her mother Lady Shiva. It was an excellent ending of one to continue on in another arc. To see Shiva show love to Cassandra comes well in this as the last have set it up. It doesn't feel rushed but very well earned. The art is great as is the action.

Cassandra Cain is not a character that I've followed closely over the years. Batgirl #6 appears to require a deeper understanding of her history and tutelage under the Batman. The strongest aspect of this issue is the relationship between Cassandra and Shiva. There's some deep stuff there that plays well, definitely stronger than the Unburied. The end of this issue feels a bit like it's taking place out of continuity, or it's just simply misdirection that doesn't really work in today's comics. Next issue promises a history of Lady Shiva and that in itself is tantalizing. Can this team bring it all together? We'll have to see.
