BATGIRL #72 - 73

5/10

Story: Gabrych
Art: De La Fuente

Who knows the real reason for DC editors pulling the plug on this book, but it's a done deal -- Cassandra Cain is no longer Batgirl.

I've been a bit distracted from this book anyway recently (with all the other required reading DC puts out!) so it doesn't bother me too much. But there's nothing great about these final issues. Gabrych established a fairly loyal fan base fleshing out Cass and her connection to the Bat-family, then sort of dropped the book and turned his writing/creativity on auto-pilot.

What's really going to annoy people is that Cass is turned into a B-level villain in the final pages of #73. First she dies, is carried into eternity (?) by Stephanie/Spoiler, then gets splashed in what could be a Lazarus Pit, then suddenly comes back to life ready to kill. That is, be true to herself. Whatever.
