Batgirl #20

Review by: Nevermore (Administrator)

This is a fun team up issue. Admittedly, the plot had be a little confused when I read it the first couple of times ("We have your brother and are holding him ransom!" "You don't have the money? Then we'll get some person to shoot you..oh wait, that didn't work out." "Hey, Kinsey's here, whatever that means." "Ha! I am your brother and not really kidnapped! I held myself ransom so I could get money! It's a brilliant plan!" "But...Jimmy died bringing the money!" "Jimmy? He came up with me, whatever that means." "OH LOOK MONEY!") But I eventually got it (except for that "Jimmy came up with me line") Batgirl needing Spoiler to read her the ransom note was a nice set up, and I love Steph's snarky blackmailing saavy. The interaction between Stephanie and Cass was golden, and there were some genuinely funny lines. Cass and Steph's characterization was spot on.

The art? Well, Damion Scott's art was still somewhat competent and kind of cute at this point. It wasn't the best in the world, but it wasn't horrible either.

And I adore the cover. I love how Steph and Cass are posed and the way Steph's whipping that grappling hook. They look ready for battle!
