Overview

New writer Dylan Horrocks continues his run on BATGIRL! Babs thought taking Cassandra on an ocean cruise would be the perfect diversion from crime-fighting. Boy, was she wrong! Not only is the mysterious metahuman known as Black Wind onboard, but so is a dirty businessman and his mammoth bodyguard, Ludo. Plus, a guest appearance by Superboy!

Spoilers

Somewhat inevitably, Batgirl encounters Black Wind aboard their cruise ship, and there is soon a confrontation, with Black Wind and his supporters claiming they are to bring justice to Vilom Namali, an unscrupulous Tarakstani oil magante who once destroyed a village in the name of oil. A confusing confrontation ensues when Superboy gets involved, and after Black Wind is captured, Batgirl wants to go home. She and Superboy also express an attraction to one another; on Batgirl's side, this is partly the result of an uncomfortability with an undeniable chemistry between her and Black Wind.
