The first 25 issues of this run are peak (aside from the questionable America's Most Wanted arc). But this run falls off hard as it goes into Infinite Crisis territory and never really recovers afterward.

The Flash (1987) #36 by Messner-Loebs and LaRocque

Air @sleepywebhead.bsky.social · 2y ago

I hope we get more focus on Linda going forward in Spurrier's Flash. While he's definitely the best writer for her since Waid, the resolution to her part in the first arc felt a little bit underwhelming to me.

What a journey.

(From Batgirl #73 by Gabrych and Mhan)
Narration: Once upon a time... there was a girl. Born to be something unlike the world had ever seen. A dancing hunter. But she didn't want that. And so, she ran away. Hungry and desperate, she found salvation in the dark flap of wings. She thought she was a bat. But she came to find she wasn't that either. She was only a runaway girl... named Cain.

Shiva: "Heroes are forever. The rest of us are just part of the story."
She walks into the blizzard, carrying a dying Cass. The world goes white, and suddenly it's Stephanie Brown holding Cass in her arms instead."
Cass: "Stephanie? Am I--? Oh, no. Did I--?"
Steph: "Yes. And it's okay. You saved them. Now, shhhh... Lemme tell you a story."

We see the roster of the Justice League Elite, including Cass as Kasumi, Green Arrow, the Flash, and... a bunch of characters I don't recognize because I haven't read that run lol.
Cass, narrating: "I had a real team, once. I wasn't 'Batgirl.' We saved the world."

They need to bring back this dynamic yesterday

(From Batgirl #67 by Gabrych and Garza)
Babs: "Cassandra. I know you don't want to talk. But we need to."
Cass: "Why?"
Babs: "Because, well, you're very special to me."
Cass: "Why?"
Babs: "Do you even have to ask?"
Cass: "Right now... yes."
Babs: "Because you're... you. You make me know change is real. You found something you believed in and followed it with all your heart. It's beautiful, really."

Cass: "But you worry."
Babs: "Yes. Yes, I do. I worry you'll get hurt... or worse. I mean, poor Steph..."
Cass: "Don't. Talk. About. Her."
Babs: "Dammit, Cassandra, don't shut me out."
Cass: "You did it to Batman."
Babs: "That's not... is that what this is about? Look, what happened between me and Bruce is... between us. You and I are something else. I care about you. And this isn't just an ex-librarian, ex-Batgirl thing. It's a friend thing. You gotta learn to read. You'll never take over for him if you don't."
Cass: "How'd you-?"
Babs: "Because I know you. Now, since we have a little time, I wonder if you'll indulge me..."

Cass walks away after beating her father, David Cain, to a bloody pulp. She left behind a flower and a note for him saying "Dad," for Father's Day.
David, as he bleeds on the floor: "I love it."

Loved how this story used Cass and Rose as parallels

(From Batgirl #64 by Gabrych and Garza)
Cass: "Which is about-- another ten minutes. Unless-- You save her. NOW."
She yanks the sword out of Rose Wilson, and Slade rushes to take her into his arms and run off to get medical attention for her.
Cass, internally: "She needs him. But he needs her more. Without her he's alone. She'll get better. And come for me. To finish the job-- her father started."

This arc was kinda mid tbh but I liked this moment

(From Batgirl #62 by Gabrych and Garza)
Cass: "Oh, Stephanie. I-I'm so sorry."
Steph: "For what? I screwed up. I paid the price. Simple. And you succeeded, so he gave you a city of your own."
Cass: "Bludhaven."
Steph: But you're not sure you can handle ti. You feel like you're failing. Like it's all going down the drain. It's do or die time."
Cass: "What do I... do?"

Steph: "Do what you do best. What you taught me to do. Fight. Fight. Fight for your life. Right up to the end."

She's a community hero ❤️

Shiva: "Tell me. How did you come to know my daughter?"
Bà Bao: "Hah! I don't know when it first began. One day your little girl showed up at our door just like a stray cat... Quiet, never saying much, but she liked my food so kept coming back! She reminds me of myself at that age. Always fighting, even just for a bowl of sup. She asked me to teach her my martial art of Vovinam. Such interest and not even Vietnamese! So I did, and in return she trains my grandsons in her many arts. You see, my boys lost their parents quite young, hm. They have learned much under her. This is what we do. This is how we get by in this city. This uncertain world. So, yes, you must be proud.

Slower paced than I expected but that's a good thing. Love that we finally got the time to explore some of the interpersonal dynamics among the team. This run continues to be the best book of the new Ultimate line by far

Five star meal right here

(From Absolute Superman #2)
Kal pulls his hood looking forlornly at a road sign indicating Venezuela is 105 km away. It's been vandalized with graffiti saying "Lazarus means death" and "Join the Omega Men."
Meanwhile, Lois types up her report, having rejected the standard procedure of letting the Brainiac AI do it for her. "Damn. That... that actually felt good." We see her byline on her computer screen: "Written by Lois Lane."

Really weird how these two haven't appeared at all in Williamson's Superman so far. Like I get not wanting to use every supporting character, but ignoring the kids of the lead couple is... a choice.

I don't expect this from the current Batgirl run but I think it'd be nice to get some stories where Cass connects with her Chinese heritage in the future.

Outside of the recent JMD Clone Saga minis, I'm pretty sure these are the only references we've gotten to baby May in a Spider-Man book since 1998. Crazy how for most the part they just pretend it didn't happen but they're not interested in actually retconning it out either.
