Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart
2.0
Barbra Gordon just moved to Burnside, and all of her Batgirl equipment is destroyed in a fire. She takes the opportunity to reinvent herself, a new Batgirl the hero of Burnside. However, her new image is based on social media and making herself a star rather than just the hero and she loses herself, the real Batgirl, for a while there.
The storyline and artwork worked together great. Teams of people often make graphic novels, so they don’t always come together as cohesively as this one did. I loved that they included designs for the characters and their different looks giving you great ideas for cosplay and how to build the outfits as well as insight to drawing them as well. I think the idea for the story was a good one, especially for the intended target audience, with a good message. I just didn’t like the story myself as I couldn’t relate or immerse myself into it. That doesn’t mean I love Batgirl any less though!
