BATGIRL #17
Description
A changed Cassandra Cain returns to Gotham! Spinning directly out of the events of DC K.O., Batgirl #17 finds Cassandra waking in Gotham with the Blood—the metahuman power to wield and control her own blood as a weapon. Her Bat-Family reunion is interrupted as she ascends Wu Corp Tower, seeking answers and a path to reversal of this curse. Written by Tate Brombal with artwork by Takeshi Miyazawa, the issue features multiple cover variants by David Talaski, Kyuyong Eom, Symbol, and Jorge Jimenez. This issue marks the perfect jumping-on point for new readers as The Curse of the Blood begins here, continuing the ongoing Batgirl saga. At 32 pages, it delivers fast-paced action, sharp dialogue, and a dark exploration of identity and power in Gotham City.
