It was a great origin story but I couldn’t see her story continuing into something more.

Simple graphic novel! Some parts of the plot and some characters felt underdeveloped. Unsure if this has more coming, but it felt incomplete alone.

This was a fun graphic novel and a great introduction to a new superhero. I have always wanted to be able to talk to animals since I was kid so any time I find a book or comic with that theme I have to read it.
I knew this hero was going to be right up my alley when I realized she had a dog and I was right. This comic was so good I finished it and started it from the beginning right away. I loved Whistle not only as a hero but also as a person. She seemed very real in a lot of ways and her sort of gray look at right and wrong.
Also really loved seeing some of the other well known characters seen throughout Gotham. Getting a peak at them though another lense was such a treat.
I didn't even mind the romance sesn in this comic. It was a small factor and didn't over shine the actual point of the comic. It is actual a great example of exactly what a romance should be outside of the romance/contemporary genre.
I honestly can't think of a bad thing to say about this comic. I loved it from the characters to the plot to the art. I loved every bit if it and I can not wait to get my hands of a physical copy in the future.
Thank you to Netgalley for the early review copy.
