“Having Cassandra Cain as a Batgirl and a heroine has meant so much to me as an Asian woman. I’m devastated that DC has benched her with no concrete plans to bring her back.”
Sigh. Cass, come back!
Hell as a very-not-asian very-not-female reader I’m STILL hugely upset that she was benched as she was by far the most interesting solo-act in the entire DCU with a truly unique premise which showed the heroine persevere through an enormous struggle of communication as well as to rehabilitate the previous Batgirl who was broken from her… joker-related retirement and had to raise a mute killing-machine into an actual person, and then infinite crisis happened.
Yeah, I’m kind of bitter about it XD
I’ve said this before, but…I owe Cassandra. The first time I wrote her, I had very little reference and didn’t do a great job. Later, I got her series and was just, I have to say it, I was just ENTRANCED by her. I adored her.
My reluctance to accept Steph as Batgirl at first was completely because I loved Cass so much. BQM got me to see how awesome Steph could be. He made me a huge Steph fan.
But Cass is probably the character I haven’t really gotten to write much, that I miss the MOST.

Our Batgirl cosplays for the Nightmarket fashion show...
Are you gonna attend any cons in Europe?(like,in the future)
The next thing in that area is a symposium in Belfast, laser this year!
Hey. Do you have any tips for someone who really wants to get into writing comics but has no idea where to start and also has very limited resources?
I do. The best thing is to google…I don’t mean that snarkily, but nearly every pro I know has talked about this at length and there is a VAST mound of material available free.
Also, here’s kind of a no-nonsense look at what you should consider:
