I remember thinking at the time that the color was crapulescent and the inking a pretty bad job compared to other comics of the day. It put me off until buzz about the writing got me to read "A Doll's House."
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From the Robin #151: interesting. At least I hope it is. Needless to say, I'm less than enthused with the character developments of Cassandra Cain.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Wow. That's ... interesting. I agree with you, about Cassandra. (also, wtf is up with the pen and ink. I really don't like the way that's drawn.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have no idea what's going in that scene. But after a year off, Tim has apparently decided to trade in his green pants for orange tights and wearing his underwear outside his pants. Weird.

At least he's not EVIL.
God, I'm pissed.

Yeah, it has a lot of people up in WTF.

You could *kind* of see it coming. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Maybe, but now she speaks fluent English. That's out of nowhere.
I'd be pretty impressed if there was a reason behind it (that leaves me happy) whose revelation in OYL time unfolds along with the backstory in 52.
But I doubt that is going to happen.

Not for the reasons she gives, I don't think. It's not at all in line with any of the textual information we have about her.

I can see her being all "I am not a tool of Batman." You just REALLY have to sell me on her shift. The end of her comic wasn't enough.
Going as far as "I kill my father, I am not my father"...takes a bit more work.
