Batgirl: Destruction's Daughter picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the last nine issues (Batgirl #65–73) of the 2000 on-going series. The trade paperback covers three storylines: "A Mother of a Father's Day", "Destruction's Daughter", and "Blood Matters"."A Mother of a Father's Day" is a one-issue storyline (Batgirl #65), which has Cassandra Cain pondering about her biological mother on this Father's Day issue. Batman theorizes that Lady Shiva might be her mother, but to fin...

This was a great conclusion to the Cassandra Cain run as Batgirl. We get some brilliant revelations and some cathartic moments. She still doesn't touch Stephanie Brown as Batgirl, though.

I don't know what was going on behind the scenes at DC during this time, so I have no idea why Kelley Puckett stopped writing Batgirl, but Cass deserved SO much better than Andersen Gabrych.Her last two volumes were a total disaster. Gabrych didn't have her voice or anyone else's for that matter, from Babs all the way down to the bizarre and stereotype characters he created. Nothing gets explained properly, there is no continuity or consistency, and don't get me started on the fucking ending. I

Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. The art in the early Batgirl stuff was very touch and go to me, which made me wince a while reading through it, but I definitely appreciated the beginning of Cass' story, and Bab's involvement in that with Cass and with/against Bruce.

Read my review over at DenofGeek.com! http://www.denofgeek.us/books-comics/...

Since Cassandra is a big player in the next part of my Robin read-through, I decided to skim through these issues to refresh my memory. Pretty quickly I wasn't just skimming, I was reading a whole issue, and then the next, and the next. The book is very readable in a popcorn reading kind of way, putting Cassandra on a quest where I was as eager as she was to find out the answers. And the question of her true heritage was definitely satisfactorily answered.But I'm also a little torn on the overal...

The writing was a bit odd, some plot elements appear very suddenly, but I really like Cassandra and there was a good balance of action and introspection.

Very engaging as well as being action driven. A Cassandra Cain is a worthy successor to the Batgirl name. I actually like the fact that the mouth and eyes are revealed. I wish this becomes permanent. It makes her look less wicked and more human. B-

A great sort of conclusion to this run. It was nice to see Cass going on a self reflective journey to find out who her mother is (Lady Shiva) and the family she had. Great moments with Cass and Barbara and some good action with Cass, the Nyssa lead League of assassins, and Lady Shiva for one last time.

While the character of Cassandra Cain has gone through a lot of ups and downs, this big collection is mostly very good. While involving Lady Shiva again is repetitive, its also the best character to play off of Batgirl. Her overwhelming desire to find out about her mother and make sure she doesn't end up like her father are powerful motivations. There were a couple of hiccups (Road Hog, OMAC, & a villain's spouse) but overall it was really good. The art was dynamic and the fight scenes were well...

so, i like cassie a lot. i want more of cassie's relationship with oracle, and stephanie, but i assume those are in other volumes? here we see batgirl go toe to toe with lady shiva and the daughter of ras-a-ghul, and figure out what blood lines mean and what they don't. the art wasn't great, but it was okay. not a fantastic story, but i think i've been spoiled by Gail Simone. i am glad i know more about cassie, but i think i need to start earlier to get a real grasp on her. anyone know where i c...

Cass is on a mission to find her mother. But we can already guess who Cass mother is. What we didn't know is how psycho she can truly be. This has some great moments for Cass, growing up, and learning what her mother is capable of. I will say it was a little rushed, the brother storyline was odd, and I didn't love all of Cass's inner thoughts. I still feel too much. But overall it was a solid ending to a great series. A 3 out of 5.

Who am I kidding? There is room in my heart for all the Batgirls, but Cass Cain is doing some serious work trying to win the coveted spot of Batgirl numero uno. But all my favorite ladies made an appearence in this book. You've got Babs, and the Birds of Prey, a little bit of Steph, and lots of kick ass Lady Shiva battle scenes. This book would have gotten 5 stars if not for serious boob problems. There were just moments where I was like, what is she wearing for a bra? 2 soup bowls? They look s...

3.5This is the one Cassandra Cain book I didn't love so it's a little hard to review it. I adore Cass but this book didn't really seem like it was about her and her feelings; it seemed more about how others see her. The beginning is confusing to follow. It's mostly her going on a date with a guy I don't remember reading much about before. Then there's a hog man that tries to assault her bc she doesn't want to be with him. The beginning is about her deciding to find out if Shiva is her mother so

This series ended on a high note. Possibly higher than it started, but I'm not sure I'd go quite that far.Any true Cassandra Cain fan should at least read this last volume. The final two arcs are something special that help define the character moving forward.

It's Father's Day and Casandra sets out to learn who her mother is. By now Batgirl's strong belief in second chances for any and all killers is stronger than ever.

This was everything I'd been hoping for in the previous volume. Cassandra is much more believable and easier to sympathize with. The Birds of Prey meet-up is as fascinating as it is delightful, and Lady Shiva is humanized well. There's more emphasis on interactions between characters, which is exactly what there wasn't enough of previously. The dialogue is less choppy while maintaining Cass's conscious work to verbalize her thoughts. "Destruction's Daughter" is a really good read. My only compla...

This final conclusion before Infinite Crisis finds Cassandra trying to find out who her mother is.The volume starts out quite nicely, with her having a 'talk' with her father in prison. He swore to secrecy so Cassandra must reunite with some old friends and face some new threats.I feel the story gets a bit rushed. One moment Cassandra is fighting bikers and OMACs, then she's battling Nyssa Al Ghul, her mother, other talented fighters, and then zombies.The story doesn't have a chance to breathe,

OK, maar ik vond Batgirl, Vol 1: Silent Running toch wel heel wat beter.
