I'm seeing a lot of neg reviews of this and well, I get where they're coming from. Lucky for me I totally enjoyed this purchase! The art was great, good colors, good characterizations, good on all aspects IMO. I love the update on the Batgirl story. Especially the way it simply touched on The Killing Joke but denied it the fucked up angle it took, instead just using it to show this wasn't a retcon story but how she got where she is in this chapter. Interesting story, love how it shows Babs love of tech and her incredible brain but all tied in to current tech trends. This might be a bit "young" for the older comics crowd but let's welcome in some new blood and make them feel comfortable in the world of comics! I love love love the outfit redesign. Super cute, practical, and lotsa fun (yes to the Docs! Always!!).
