Real good character work for Cass. She's branching out on her own trying to be independent. Besides some more internal dialogue than needed and deathstroke always showing up the ending set up a interesting plot.

It was a good story, but could've been so much better. I'll call it a valiant effort. Loved the character of Onyx. However, the "uh"s in our lovely heroine's thoughts got SO ANNOYING as it went in that I seriously just stopped wanting to know what she was thinking. Very clever ending though.

Great art and action. The art here is probably some of the best so far in my opinion and I did enjoy the fight with Cass, Ravager, and Deathstroke.

Another Batgirl collection that is more about random kicks and punches than character development. Fight scenes are fun to read but they have to have some weight to them and sadly there was much of that here. The art was also too cartoony for my liking. Overall, not much going on here and can be skipped.

I'm in love with al Cassandra Cain books apparently. I loved this one as well!Cassandra's taken over Dick's beat and is watching over Bludhaven. It's interesting watching the Batfam take care of Bludhaven because the town is a complete cesspit. Batsy says they need to make the place their home because if they care about it, they'll be more dedicated to the job. Tim barely did that in Fresh Blood but Cassie, I think really did. She has a sweet relationship with a cafe owner, Angela I think becaus...

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 wo...

No matter who she is, Batgirl is more complex than you think. I like each and every Batgirl. And yet, I can't get into any of their voices. They are chatty, wordy, and there's always a lot of "um." So unlike Batman, yes. Which is the point. It's just such a shift for me as a reader that I never quite make the leap. That said this is a pretty good story, and I like Bludhaven very much as a setting. The plot thread of daughter-tries-to-impress-father is intriguing. I would read more of this thread...

This is my first time reading Cass as Batgirl and it's neat to see how different she is from Babs. Cass's backstory is interesting and I like how she struggles with words as a result of her upbringing. I thnk she has a lot of potential for character development and I do like her. I realize it's more of a challenge to write a character who either doesn't speak much or has trouble speaking, and the more I think about it, the more I appreciate how this team portrays Cass. However, I still feel like...

Cassandra Cain is starting a new life in a new town. She is talking a lot more in this book than in previous Batgirl books that I have read. It’s fun to see her character grow and progress. I really enjoyed the scenes at the restaurant/coffee shop.

This book originally appeared a decade ago and features Cassandra Cain as Batgirl. To my silver/bronze (stone? who said that?) age sensibilities Ms. Gordon will always be Batgirl, but I thought this one was pretty well done. It's interesting to have a story narrated by an illiterate character, and I thought that aspect was pulled off nicely. The art is good though-out, though it edges towards the anime-eye thing that I don't like a time or two. It was fun to see her operate on her own, out from

The three part story was alright. It gave us some much needed character to the city, and her part of town specifically. That second two parter, though? Shoot. That was some great storytelling. I'm looking forward to more interactions with those two.

This is a much better showing from a Cassandra Cain collection. It's because we have a new writer and Cassandra is in Bludhaven now, away from Batman and Oracle's shadows. It's a tighter, less erratic narrative--though it's still there every once in awhile--and the artwork is less cartoony. Much better than previous installments!

I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. This being my first actual comic book in the Batfamily, I was playing a bit of catch-up, but exposition is handled well. Her past is dark and compelling, with lots of parental issues being played out here. I'm interested enough to want to see more of her.

This was great. I cried though in part of it but the rest was great!!!!! The artwork was good and the action was beautifully done.

Batgirl: Kicking Assassins picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting the next five issues (Batgirl #60–64) of the 2000 on-going series. The trade paperback covers two storylines: "The Hood" and "Could've Been"."The Hood" is a three-issue storyline (Batgirl #60–62), which has Cassandra Cain as Batgirl building her new life for herself in Blüdhaven, but with the Penguin looming large in the city once protected by Nightiwng, Batgirl must keep the streets safe, which isn’t an easy thin...

After her failed team-up with TIm Drake's Robin, Cassandra Cain is flying solo in Bludhaven. This book works pretty well. There's great action. Cassandra continues to evolve as a character. The art is actually fairly good. She faces off against the Brotherhood of Evil all by herself. I had to groan a bit when it seemed like Deathstroke had been hired to take down Cassandra but it turned out to be his daughter instead. However, the final issue was really good as Cassandra had to combine her skill...

This volume resparked my dismay at the fact that we still don't have a complete TPB collection of Cass Cain's first Batgirl run. In this volume, Cass takes over for Dick Grayson as the protector of Blüdhaven with a uniquely Cassandra Cain style. While Dick spent his time getting to know his neighbours and work on corruption from within the system, Cass takes a more Batman-esque direct approach. What's interesting here though is that you see how her past as a puppet of David Cain influences her p...

Cassandra moves to Blüdhaven, makes friends with the local café owner. Batgirl also meets new enemies with the Brotherhood of Evil, Penguin, and Deathstroke.

The more I learn about her the more I love her. Wtf.

Good art, fun story, colorful characters, and I love this characterization of Cassandra Cain.
