Batgirl, Vol. 5: Kicking Assassins by Andersen Gabrych, Jesse Delperdang, Alé Garza, Pop Mhan

4.0

I wish I read more Cass Cain when her series was actually being released because then it'd be easier to find comics featuring her character. Maybe the New 52 will someday pick her character up again. Otherwise, I'm stuck on a quest for more Batgirl. After Fists of Fury, I wasn't so sure if I wanted more. I liked it. There was no love there. The same with Destruction's Daughter. That was more around the lines that I really liked it. Meanwhile, I enjoyed reading Kicking Assassins. The narrative wove all the sequences together nicely introducing issues Cass needs to face everyday in her life. The past and the present both haunt her in her new situation as she moves to a new town. I loved her interaction with the police in Bludhaven and some of the people there. I'm hoping to find more at some point along the road. This trade paperback reminded me that I need more Cass in my life. I love her daily struggles and her constant fight in life. It interests me that she was unable to talk at one point in her life nor is she able to read.

I need you Cass.
