A beautiful, touching take on Cass's backstory and journey. The art was charming, the characterization excellent, and the writing solid. As a long-time Cass fan, I adored this a lot!

i really loved the art style & cass’ journey of self-discovery i found it to be really honest & compassionate & relatable. i loved how she was able to lean on barbara & jackie for support & guidance in finding her way. i hope to read more batgirl stories by this team !!

If nothing else, I love that some of my favorite characters and eras from DC are getting new life through DC Ink. I miss Oracle. I miss Cassandra Batgirl. It's awesome to see them both here and the story itself is sweet with expressive art. I'm glad to see these books moving away from the minimalist color palette, too. My one complaint is that the books all stand alone in their own isolated continuity. I would've loved if this Oracle had anything to do with the Oracle from the other book, but I think that defeats the purpose of the plan here. These are meant to stand apart from any established continuity.

Feels like there's a certain level of suspension of disbelief when it come to how quickly she adapted (but I suspect that is the case for any iteration of this character). Liked the art. Nice, basic story.

I love anything to do with Cass's mythos and this was a fun and interesting take on it, the art is great and the characterization tracks to everything I've read, you can definitely tell Kuhn is a fan! This was fantastic for a character introduction (if you want a more full one, I always recommend Batman and Robin Eternal) in brief, and having Barbara in her backstory still makes a world of sense. My only real nitpick is how quickly things seemed to resolve with regards to the disability representation, Cass's difficulties with speaking and reading are a fairly core part of her character, and it seems to be glossed past quickly. Anyone who isn't interested in the backstory and cares more about the action won't really care, but it's always disappointing that writers never seem to be able to figure anything around it and either write it out or brush through for ease. I understand the focus here is put more in her heritage for her representation, and that's also a phenomenal thing, but it puts a slight damper.
