Heyo There Overs, Crooker is back again with another Batgirl review from DC Comics. This is problem #8 by Tate Blombar and Isaac Goodheart. We continue to showcase Mrs. Shiva’s revised origins, bringing many familiar elements that long-time fans will recognize. So, make sure I get off soon.
As mentioned above, many familiar elements are reintroduced here, such as the names of “Sandra” and “Carolyn” as Shiva and her sister’s surname “Usan”, respectively. I also got the Bronze Tiger and the Richard Dragon. This is probably a little known name to most fans of the history of Cassandra Kaine’s character. Both are important figures in DC Canon’s “martial arts” belts, and Bronze Tiger is even like a Batman rival in certain stories.
As far as Cass’ story goes, more importantly, her biological father, David Kane. It’s been a hot minute since he appeared in the story and in his original appearance, features and history (which appears to pave almost completely his new 52 self). This is Cain from the 90s. He’s a creepy sadistic weirdo who does his job so well. However, since much of Cass’ early character drama comes from Cain’s twisted fixation to her, we rarely explored that his and Shiva’s history was outside the several throwing paths over the years.

This version maintains the post-crisis aspect of David to help him “experiment” to kill Carolyn and drive Shiva to his arm, mixing the pre-crisis and post-post ideas together with something even more new. Thank you for both the review and the subtle updates. This helps to firmly establish stories and ideas that feel like too much is set in this very strange time of DC Canon, too many very strange times. It’s also a great help for new fans of the character. Because they realize that these are aspects that have not been nurtured for over a decade. David Kane is also very interesting to me whenever he shows up. Perhaps in all of DC’s long-established Canon, for one of the most unfavourable, truly awful fathers, he does it with such a pathetic sw walk that it’s really fun to see him being beaten. And if Blombar knows what he is, if he does as I think, he beats.

In the art section, so far I’ve really enjoyed Good Heart’s work on this title. It has a truly fascinating style that is well executed by Mike Spicer’s colours, reminiscent of the bright pops of silver and Bronze Age comics. This was a proper change to Tonar from the art of the final Ark, and was suitable for a story that was about to become more than this suited. So I think it’s a creative, good lateral movement to make a book feel fresh without sacrificing quality.
DC
Overall, Batgirl #8 is solid. I enjoyed watching David Cain, a classically pathetic, awful man. I think a little glimpse of Cass herself can get to remind us whether this is a book or is really cute. And I think getting this time in succession in succession is a fun side story as you move from plot point A to plot point.
“Batgirl” #8 continues the revised origins of Shiva
Batgirl #8
The revised origin of Shiva continues as he finally arrives at the world’s most entertaining, terrifying, awful, good father: David Cain.
Shiva’s character journey is often said
The art is good and I feel chosen for the story
David Kane is a hilarious and terrible person
