I'm not normally a Batgirl fan, but I picked this one up because it was available at the elibrary and I had some time when I could only read on a computer that I couldn't download anything to or access Scribd, no phone or tablet available. It's weird, I know, but not the important part. So I found B...
It's hard for me to rate comics since I'm only just now getting into them, so I'm going to make this really quick. I wanted to share this because I really liked the art style and the villains, and that's why I ended up deciding on 4 stars instead of 3/3.5. So like I said, going into this not knowing...
My husband is a huge Batman fan. I tell you this because, if you've been following me for any length of time, you probably know that I'm only just toeing my way into the Marvel and DC universes. Look, those bad boys are daunting. They're huge and, since I was never so much into the "capes and tights...
Awesome!I love this reboot. While there are still a few "male gaze" positions Batgirl is drawn in, her costume is much improved. I really liked her hilarious commentary, especially during fight scenes. She has some uncertainty in herself, but she's smart and still manages to figures things out. Ther...
This run of Batgirl was one of the new 52. It was a really fun volume and I think I may pick up another from this run. I've heard of Gail Simone for years but this is the first time I have read anything from her. In this universe, Batgirl, aka Barbara Gordon had been in a wheelchair due to being s...
But this is going to be another quick review so I can curl up with Dean and hit another DC graphic novel. After being shot by The Joker, Barbara Gordon has a neural implant put in that helps her walk again. She's just recovered physically, and although the nightmares seem to have tapered off as ...
Crossposted at The Bibliosanctum.Full disclosure. I stopped reading the New 52 after four comics. I read Mister Terrific #1, Justice League #1, Detective Comics #1, and Swamp Thing #1. Out of those four comics, I was only impressed with Detective Comics and Swamp Thing. Justice League was only “meh”...
The story started off rocky, and I don't really care for Barbara's dialog, though I do appreciate the sensitivity with which Simone dealt with Barbara's return as Batgirl. Mostly, though, she just read as a spoiled girl with a lot of growing up in store for her. This series has potential but its inc...
So many mixed feelings here. I wasn't exactly excited about the whole concept. I loved Barbara as Oracle, and I felt like she was, overall, a really positive character. The idea of handwaving her disability away because guys who had crushes on her as Batgirl when they were kids want to erase the las...
