Wonderful YA graphic novel about 16 year old Willow trying to figure out how to pay her single mother's medical bills and afford life in general all while going to school and fighting to keep Gotham City accessible and livable for everyone. Willow runs into an old acquaintance who offers her a morally questionable job which pays a lot of money, and Willow accepts. There is an incident, and Willow discovers she has new and interesting abilities and begins to use them to help the city.
This was a fast-moving GN that really makes the reader feel connected and sympathetic to Willow and her situation. The illustrations are colorful while also have that gritty, dirty Gotham city feel. The reveal of the "bad guys" is a little surprising, but also totally expected. Overall a great start to a fun new series.

Whistle is another DC YA graphic novel that reinvents the comic book world of Gotham, and makes it something unique. Willow is a very relatable character, and I would love to read future stories about the character.
