Batgirl, Vol. 6: Destruction's Daughter by Andy Kuhn, Andersen Gabrych, Alé Garza, Pop Mhan
3.5
3.5 stars
And thus marks the end of Cassandra Cain's time as Batgirl. Her final arc, Destructions Daughter addresses many of the themes of this series as a whole and unpacks some of them in interesting ways
In it, we see Cass on the hunt for her suspected birth mother Lady Shiva. A lot of this Batgirl run has seen cases unpacking her relationship with her abusive father so I appreciated the time taken to explore Cass's relationship with her mother.
We again see Cass exemplify her radical belief in the power of redemption and how that manifest in her.
While a lot of the themes felt like Cass's batgirl Andersen Gabryvh's writing did occasionally feel off. I never quite bought the way he wrote Cass' internal monologue and he often tended toward a banter-y dialogue from her that felt untrue to her character
