Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! With November’s solicits that came out Friday, we’ve got a better look at what DC’s All-In will look like, and I’m super excited for Cass to have her own Batgirl run again. It’s probably foolish to get my hopes up too much, but Puckett’s Batgirl run from 2000 is fantastic and should make anyone a fan of the character. This certainly has some big shoes to fill. At the very least it should do better than a certain other revitalized series that’s been coming out this month.
