KATE SAYS:

"In one of my favorite Nightwing runs, Dan Watters takes this story in a new direction following Tom Taylor’s time in Blüdhaven. The story starts with a literal bang when rival gangs attempt to make a peace deal, and so begins the hunt into who or what is causing this chaos in the city. It reminds you of an Old Gotham, with a hero pushed to his limits and willing to do anything. It’s gritty detective work, plus the circus is back in town! Between corrupt city officials, revisiting his traumatic past, and supernatural forces, nothing will stop the former Boy Wonder from protecting his city."

KATE SAYS:

"Trained to be a deadly weapon used by Darkseid, Barda uncovers her one weakness in the depths of Apokolips: feelings. In a world where there is no hope, a young Scott Free continues to attempt to escape. These two meet in what would be an unconventional way, except they’re on Apokolips so violence is normal! When told there are other ways to live that don’t include fire pits and parademons, Barda continues to express forbidden curiosity in a world without Darkseid. Will Scott Free escape? Will Barda learn to express herself without her fists? The story is emotional and hilarious all at once, and draws you into the world of New Gods."

KATE SAYS:

"In her first solo series in almost two decades, Cassandra Cain is back! The Unburied are in Gotham, and their target this time is Batgirl. Takeshi Miyazawa delivers truly stunning and captivating martial-arts filled pages. Tate Brombal showcases the depth at which Cass must accept being Batman’s daughter while also being raised to be a weapon. Find out if Cass can trust her mother this time, while Lady Shiva seeks violent revenge. And if you love Cass and Barda as much as I do, check out Birds of Prey by Kelly Thompson!"
