A ver si se mejora lo que dejó Stewart. Entretenido, algo interesante pero esperando ver como evoluciona después de esta "introducción".
PD: Batgirl/Babs se sigue levantando la misma cantidad de hombres que Nightwing/Dick se ha levantado mujeres, ¿es una competencia esto?

I really liked this graphic novel and especially loved that this took place in Japan, South Korea, and other places along the map. It was a nice change of pace, but also shows a superhero's job is never done, or on the back burner.
Babs is happy to get away for a little, but like I knew it would be, the villains are never that far away. Vacations are almost non-existent. She meets up with Kai, who is staying at the same place she is checked into. He ends up being at the center of most of what goes on in this read.
The villain in here being a girl whom Batgirl calls "Sailor Clown" with a connection to Kai, that Babs does her best to get to the bottom of. An appearance by her favorite Superhero Fruit Bat who is 104 years old and still has some fight in her, helps her with a fight against this mystery bad girl.
There's a lot going on in this novel, with her possibly starting a relationship, getting knocked out in a fight against an MMA fighter that has connections with the first villian of this story, more traveling locations that adds further to Batgirl Vol. 1: Beyond Burnside. And so much more.
I found that I really enjoyed most of this read and where it lead, how she got to travel around while figuring out what was really going on around her. It was fun and interesting. Looking forward to reading more like it.

3.5/5 - Honestly, not a bad starting place for Batgirl, especially for young readers. It's fun and adventurous and easy to get into. I actually quite enjoyed the main story of this, and now I'm excited to read more of Bab's stories with Larson and the past stories by Simone.

It was just sort of... okay. I found that the joy wasn't here that was in recent Batgirls.

The cute little Poison Ivy team up one shot was my favorite part. The actual story wasn’t particularly thrilling, Babs does some traveling and fights some martial artists.

Oh goody, another reboot for Batgirl.
It's not a complete reboot. Frankie and the other Burnside characters are still around but seriously, can this character keep her canon for five minutes?
The plot's fine, the art isn't to my taste, Barbara definitely gave someone cancer.

A bit of a disappointment after the wonderful Stewart/Fletcher/Tarr trilogy. The real success of that run was based largely on the tension between the different aspects of Batgirl's life -- the superhero stuff, of course, but also the college student, in both its academic and social contexts. This new story puts Batgirl in Asia, which promptly removes an awful lot of material that I really enjoyed -- and suddenly, the whole thing rests on Batgirl being a superhero, which is an oversimplification after Batgirl of Burnside and leads to some awkward scenes. The art is still good, but it's also fairly unremarkable. It looks like a superhero comic, the sort you've seen before. Babs Tarr -- of the previous trilogy -- used a more playful, unhinged, exuberant style, and it suited the character perfectly.

A great starting point for the new adventures of Barbara Gordon! The art and story are fantastic.

oops i recognize this. i might’ve read it on a pirated website…i don’t think i enjoyed it then either.
and that’s saying something considering batgirl is literally one of my favorite characters ever.
even worse, that kai x babs kiss was uncalled for. i don’t need that in my life.
-best character in this volume, random old man on the plane
