Big fun!! I loved how Dick made a cameo on just about every single issue cover (and his jacket was worn throughout) despite having ZERO page time. He didn’t even get a cameo through the phone with Babs! Everyone loves Dick! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cass is the biggest badass in all of Gotham. I love my angry tough daughter.
And I liked the ending scene where Babs gave it to Spellbinder tied to a chair! Incredible disability rep.
I wish Babs was still in the wheelchair, I’m glad to have her as Batgirl on occasion, but it sucked that this badass lady in a wheelchair was taken from the disability community to recreate the original Batgirl. I love my silly batgirls. They’re so fun! (ps. Rian Gonzales’ covers were the BEST!!! So so cute and perfect in every way).

Cloonan and Conrad deliver a trio of Batgirls with zany fun and some more serious storytelling dancing at the edges. The characters create a dynamic group of crime fighters still trying to figure out life along the way, and Corona's pop art style brings the story to bold life with vibrant colors and design from the rest of the creative team. It's big, bold, sincere, and an enjoyable ride from start to end.

Obsessed with the deliciously messy, angular art style. The story was a little unwieldy, but I love the love for all three batgirls. It’s nice to see them share the stage!
