New 52 – Batgirl #14 review

The first of the real Death of the Family tie-ins is a good one. Better, I believe, than any of the Night of Owls tie-ins. There’s actually something at stake here for Barbara, an emotional weight to the…

New 52 – Batgirl Annual #1 review

The Court of Owls is alive and well in Gotham and they have a plan for revenge against Bruce Wayne. The first step is hiring the homeless to burn down some buildings and cause the deaths of countless…

New 52 – Batgirl #13 review

If you want to see Batgirl kick some butt, you’ve come to the right place. Issue #13 is being marketed as a major prelude to the Death of the Family crossover event and its even been given a…

New 52 – Batgirl #0 review

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…

New 52 – Batgirl #10 review

“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…

New 52 – Batgirl #9 review

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….

New 52 – Batgirl #8 review

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…
