As you can see by the cover, this issue is about Batgirl clumsily toppling forward because her boobs are so big. All kidding aside, the art in this book is nice. Gorgeous, actually. This is especially true in the final pages where we see Batgirl in her original costume made up of a blue cape…

It's an okay issue that reads fast and comes with a cool, poster-worthy cover. But it's also an issue where I found myself saying "Yeah, this is definitely going to read better as a trade paperback." The reason for this is that this issue ends in a major cliffhanger and you're going to have to…

Even though I loathe anytime a member of the bat-family fights meta-humans I actually enjoyed this. I think any fan of Barbara who has loved this series since the beginning is going to be thrilled with this issue because it's the return of a more confident, tactical Batgirl and it references quite a bit of…

"All Snug in Their Beds" is a definite improvement and the opening fight and monologue is fantastic. While it's still far from being a must-buy comic for casual Batgirl fans, those who absolutely love Barbara should really enjoy this issue. There's plenty of action and heart and Batgirl's inner thoughts questioning the role of superheroes…

Apparently author Gail Simone didn't quite understand the Court of Owls' evil plan. There are going to be a few spoilers here because I have to write down the evil plot of this issue. It's just so dumb. So incredibly dumb. Is it a better issue than last month's? Sure. Well, it didn't enrage me…

I knew things were bad when I put down the comic halfway through just so I could complain about it to a friend. Issue #8 is filled with some of the dumbest Batgirl moments I've seen and even while riding the coattails of "The Killing Joke" and "The Black Mirror" falls completely flat. But seeing…

I've enjoyed the New 52 "Batgirl" so far. Sure, the villains have been downright pathetic but I've found the book as a whole to be a colorful, charming, and fun read month after month. I never walked away from an issue of "Batgirl" feeling angry or cheated, but I have seen a lot of the…

This is one of those books that I got a lot of enjoyment out of when I first read it, but when it came time to write the review and really scrutinize things I found myself like it less and less. Enjoying Batgirl #6 is dependent on how much of an annoying fanboy you really…

Brace yourself for the retconning! Following the fun but unsubtle Mirror saga we have a Batgirl who has regained her confidence. She's prepared to face the scum of Gotham and a new villain head-on but isn't quite ready to sit down for a chat with her aloof mother. The new villain is an attractive woman…

I've really been neglecting my comic reviewing duties this week since work has really picked up. Plus, I’m going to be leaving for The Dark Knight Rises trailer screening (Mission Impossible 4) in an hour so…it's been a bit hectic. Nonetheless, the comics I have had a chance to read this week have been good,…

How old is Barbara Gordon supposed to be right now? I think it said in the first issue, but I forgot. She sounds like a teenager. It's not that distracting, but it's definitely noticeable at times. Just thought I'd open with a question before I forgot it. Another question about comics that's bugged me is…

Let's make one thing clear right off the bat: every comic should start with a "Previously On…" page. It makes each book more accessible and it cuts back on page one exposition. I bring this up, not because Batgirl #2 needed a lot of setup, or because its opening monologue was annoyingly exposition heavy. It's…

So who is Batgirl this time? Well, it's Barbara Gordon—the original Batgirl. But isn't she paralyzed from the waist down? Not anymore! Tim Drake's a little younger, Jim Gordon has red hair again, and Babs got her legs back. She must be especially thrilled about it since the incident that took her legs was an…
