This is my first dive into Cassandra Cain as batgirl. I knew she was a very different batgirl from Barbara Gordon or Stephanie Brown but really nothing else going into this. 

This is classic fun comics. Do not expect some mind shattering narrative or life changing meaning in it, but it is solid comics written for kids and teens. You could definitely give this to me at 7-13 and I would have loved it (I still loved it at 38)

The art is definitely 90’s and stylized but I did not have a problem with it at all. 

Her character has a very interesting set up and not at all what I expected. Though this is not her first appearance, volume 1  of her first series is a perfect jumping on point for anyone wanting to get into the character.

Recommend for people/kids who like solid story and fun comics.
