This was a pretty enjoyable read, even though Cass is one of the Batfam members I'm least familiar with. I know the basics of her history, so I was able to keep up with the story decently, and there was enough exposition that explained what was going on in the early chapters. It was jarring to see Dick act so harshly towards her, but it worked for the story. I teared up at exactly two points: Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe's appearance, which was little more than a cameo, and at the very end when Bruc...
You can read the full review over at my blog:http://sonsofcorax.wordpress.com/2013...I’m a huge fan of Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl (and for a long time, the Oracle). She’s been a favourite for a good long while and when I started reading the comics written by Gail Simone last year, I found myself a new outlet to appreciate the character even more. Far more. Those comics are a mainstay of my DC reading right now, and the series is one of my top titles each month (at least, whenever Gail Simone is
Cool thriller almost Jason Bourne like in the fact that Cassandra is out for blood on the father that raised her like a weapon and not as a human being.She tries to make this her own but everything is dependent on information from her friends and people she regards as family.Well told. B
I really liked this one as well. That's saying something considering I knew nothing of the arc where Cain and Slade Wilson drugged Cassandra. It was interesting to see Cassandra work with more women like her that were treated more like weapons than daughters. It made the differences between Cassandra's coping mechanisms and Rose and Marque's. Cassandra has such a screwed up family tree and it keeps branching out. I adore Dick Grayson so watching him so distrustful of Cassandra was hard. Tim was
Lo compré por error pensando que era el recopilatorio de la primera serie, pero resulta que es una mini que transcurre tras el final de la serie regular. Cuando lea todo lo anterior, le tocará el turno a este.
It's not as good as it could have been, not as good as Batgirl: Destruction's Daughter, but it wasn't bad either. It's interesting to see the Bat Family interact with Cass - how they (mis)trust her, learning to welcome her). I loved Alfred's part in making Bruce aware that Cass may not feel at home in the manor, and the parts dealing with Oracle. The kiss with Sal felt sudden, too early, and just out of place. There wasn't enough build up to justify it. The ending is done beautifully, and is my
El personaje de Cassandra Cain me gusta, pero los cómics suyos que llevo hasta la fecha me parecen todos muy reguleros (y los primeros que leí, directamente malos). No sabía si comprar esta miniserie porque me falta el final de la serie anterior, pero hice bien en no esperar a que saquen esos volúmenes: hay un resumen criminal de largo de todo lo que pasó en los cómics que me faltan. Es la escena más larga y forzada que haya visto en la vida para hacer un resumen. Todos diciéndose cosas que pasa...
I didn't enjoy this much, I'm just getting tired of all the bat spin-offs. This story was especially hard to follow since it is so dependent on the previous history of the many characters involved. I also didn't care about the protagonist which made it hard to get involved in the story.
I really love a story that lets me get into the head of the hero, to learn what drives them, what motivates them, and the mental process as they work. This book is doing an excellent job of letting me see into this character, watching her evolve as she confronts the ghosts that haunt her and overcomes them. I eagerly anticipate reading the next volume.
Read as single issues.
Batgirl: Redemption was a mini-series, published by DC Comics in 2008, which tells the re-introduction of Cassandra Cain back in the Bat Family and Gotham City. This trade paperback collects all six issues of the mini-series.Cassandra Cain as Batgirl returns to bust heads on the streets of Gotham City and redefine her place in the Bat-Family. A child of Lady Shiva, the world's deadliest assassins and raised by the evil David Cain, one of the world's deadliest men, Cassandra Cain has faced more h...

There was an awful lot of meh to go through to get to the point of that story.Hang in there if you're not impressed. It ends on a good note, if not oddly placed based on how the rest was written.
I really enjoyed this story, and I'm finding that I really enjoy the Cassandra Cane Batgirl quite a bit. She has a vulnerability that really makes Cain a well rounded character. She is tough as nails and has the knowledge of how to kill any opponent 100 different ways, but she also seeks a level of normalcy that really keeps her humanity intact. It's one of the things that really makes this story work so well for me. Batgirl really proves that you can beat your fears into submission and still fo...
I wanted to like this more than I actually liked it. It was alright, but I didn't really connect with Cassandra Cain in Redemption. She came off as a sort of iffy character. Not someone I'd like to pal around with, if you know what I mean.The gist of the story is that Cain has to decide whether or not to kill her father, and whether or not to trust her new Bat-family. And hilarity ensues!Eh. It was...ok, but not what I wanted.
One of my favorite parts about Cass Cain is the lack of dialogue throughout the plot. The fact that most of her story focuses on an internal narrative introduces an interesting side to her character. There is more of a stream of conscious feel to the storytelling of her as Batgirl. Yet the start of Batgirl: Redemption branches out too much into past events to explain or give reason to the hatred on Nightwing, Robin and Batman's part about her. This I thought was unnessesary. I felt as if the com...
Not the greatest characterization of Cass (or Dick for that matter). It was alright.
This was certainly.... a comic.I liked Rose Wilson and the last like ... 4 pages of the last issue but das it. Terrible characterizations of Cass by the person who ruined her in the first place, but the most surprising was the way he felt the need to drag Dick into it? Beechen obviously needed someone to play the role of suspicious family member n assigned it to Dick cuz there was no one else n thought he could get away with it cuz him and Cass don't have much of a relationship.
A way for Beechen to clean up the mess he had made of Cassandra Cain in his Robin run and the "Titans East" storyline in Teen Titans. Aside from that, this book does very little. After one of the most exposition-heavy first issues I've ever read, which was a combination of recap and useless retcon, the story goes on an overly decompressed journey to find Cain. The Deathstroke/Ravager scenes were mildly interesting, as was the final issue's fight, but everything else felt like an attempt to stret...
Really not what a new reader would expect from a "volume one". The first issue was all exposition involving events that didn't happen here. Very strange decisions made by Beechen and the editorial staff. Nightwing's reaction to Cassandra seemed waaaaaaay over the top and seeing different girl's like her was dull. The art by Calafiore was good but all his faces are identical. Overall, a big misstep for a new series.
