Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart
4.0
Man, there's a lot of bad reviews for this comic on GoodReads.
This isn't exactly shocking, I don't think I've read a comic yet that didn't get panned pretty hard by GR users. Par for the course, and a reminder that when it comes to comics, I can't go by GR reviews to see if I'll like it or not.
It's been a couple of years since I read the previous volume of Batgirl. I missed her. I love GBG, Barbara Gordon, Babs, so very much. I loved Gail Simone's version better, I'm not going to lie. But I really didn't have that much to complain about here. The storylines are quirky, Barbara is trying to find her identity in the world, which devolves into superhero selfies.
The Dinah fight. Was...was that in the last volume? Was that in another series I haven't read? I feel like I should know about that and I'm completely lost. She is so beautifully drawn throughout, though. The artwork overall is pretty fantastic.
We did have an AWFUL lot of phlebotonum throughout, though. Hi, nice to meet you pretty red-haired girl I've literally never seen before. Let me tell you all about the theft we had last night seconds after I tell you my name.
Like...really? Really? That's the opposite of organic.
Other than a few glitches, I did find this absolutely delightful, and I loved diving back into her world. Onto the next!
