Batgirl (2016-2020) #47 by Cecil Castellucci

Interesting read, giving a little more information to the build up of Joker War. Not something I will continue after the portions for Joker War but I am happy I read this tie in. I plan to read the other two.

Shade the Changing Girl Vol. 1: Earth Girl Made Easy by Cecil Castellucci

A space alien possesses a comatose high school girl, then has to figure out how to fit in on Earth. Also there is madness and alien poetry. The art style and the story are trippy and confusing...yet intriguing.
