'Shadow of the Batgirl' author Sarah Kuhn wants young Asian American girls to see they can be the main character in superhero stories too.

This Cassandra is surprised by a paradigm-shifting moment during a mission that leads her to break away from the only life she has ever known — being an assassin for her father, David Cain.

Goux explained that among the things they had to resolve artistically was “how [to] communicate that [Cassandra’s] learning to read in this way and that she’s not understanding these words. That they’re real words, not just squiggles.” Two people who take an interest in Cassandra and her well-being are Barbara from the library, who knows an awful lot about gadgets and Batgirl, and Jackie Fujikawa Yoneyama, who owns a ramen shop.
