![]() While Grodd continues to maul Cassandra, Steph and Catman use their words instead of their fists and we get Catman and Grodd's backstory for the Event. Then we get another jarring transition back to the present. ![]() Actually, it's mainly Stephanie and Tim, but I liked the nervous chatter of Stephanie as she tries to psych herself up (and out) for the upcoming battle, while Tim tries to calm her down and get her head on straight. While the scene with Steph, Cassandra and Tim is nothing new, I do like the dialogue between our three heroes. ![]() I'm not going to say all is lost, however. Kwinty quickly sends us back in time for a little more backstory setup. It's a pretty good page with all the major characters present, but unfortunately, it is ONE page. The issue begins with a continuation of what should have been last issue's cliffhanger.Grodd kicking the snot out of Cassandra Cain. So, I went into this issue hoping we'd get more of the good and a lot less of the bad. That said, I did like the idea of Stephanie Brown as reluctant champion and will never get tired of seeing Gorilla Grod in anything. It really threw off the pacing of the issue, made parts unnecessarily confusing and left the reader with a dud of a cliffhanger. ![]() It wasn't that the writing itself was bad, it was the disjointed, out-of sequence storytelling. I was not a huge fan of Alisa Kwinty's first Convergence: Batgirl issue. Art by: Rick Leonardi, Mark Pennington and Steve Buccellato ![]()
