Batgirl #25 Preview

 

David Cain trained his daughter to be an assassin. Yet eventually, Cassandra found a new father who helped her find a better path. When Batman alerted her to Poison Ivy’s hyper-accelerated plant growth, Cassandra Cain wanted a more specific mission than staying indoors and protecting people. But when a flower made a little girl sick, Cassandra left her brother and Jaya to protect the customers in Bà Bao’s Noodle Shop while she rushed Mimi to Gotham General.

 

Tenji Turner may dream of becoming a famous hero. Yet unlike her brother, Cassandra Cain realizes being a hero isn’t always glamorous. Some people in Gotham would happily report her to collect Vandal Savage’s Rat Out The Bat campaign. And even though Cassandra carries a sick child, his TUCOs attack her with lethal force. Will all that change when an unexpected winter storm wipes out Poison Ivy’s prehistoric plants? And after her mother’s return propelled her across the world, how will her biological father’s return disrupt Cassandra’s return to Gotham?

Happy Birthday, Batgirl!

 

Well, it isn’t exactly our favorite brooding girl’s birthday, but it is the 25th issue of her ongoing series, so we’re celebrating with an oversize issue! It would sure be a shame if anything spoiled the celebrations like, say, the long-awaited return of…David Cain?!

 

Uh-oh, blow out the candles, Cass—things are about to get messy. Not to mention, Damion Scott, the co-creator of our special girl, returns to the character for a special backup! You don't want to miss this!

Batgirl #24 Preview

 

Tenji Turner imagined a glamorous new life in Gotham. Instead, he’s guarding a crowded restaurant against Poison Ivy’s out-of-control plant life. While Jaya’s definition of heroism seems hauntingly prophetic, Tenji’s wounded sister races through the night to get a sick child to the hospital. 

 

Suffering from bleeding and internal injuries, can Batgirl get Mimi to Gotham General before the little girl succumbs to the flowers’ deadly scent? And can Tenji and Jaya safeguard the people inside Bà Bao’s Noodle Shop as the giant plants grow increasingly aggressive?

Batgirl #21 Preview

 

When Jim Gordon finds a note to Batgirl at a staged crime scene, it awakens bad memories. His daughter, Barbara, once wore a Batgirl suit. Now, she resides in Vandal Savage's Supermax prison. But if the embalmed girl in a bed disturbs him, the ink on the card disturbs Cassandra Cain more. The name of the mushroom the ink comes from has the initials CC. And that's not the only clue that tells Cassandra that this little girl was killed to attract her attention.

Yet Cassandra isn't the only person the killer targets. As Vandal Savage's TUCO squad arrives at the crime scene, Tenji Turner and Jaya Jayesh watch as Cassandra gets lost in her memories. Likewise, Tenji's father, also in Gotham, falls beneath the note's magic spell. What does the killer want? And how many people will die amid his dark schemes?
