Batgirl Vol. 1: Batgirl of Burnside (the New 52) by Brenden Fletcher, Cameron Stewart
4.0
Wow, I think this was my first superhero graphic novel/comic?!?! But yeah, my new roommate has been encouraging me to pick up this book for the last month now and I finally did! I had only previously read a handful of graphic novels, so my roommate said this reboot was a great place to dive into the graphic novel/superhero comic world.
And she was right; this book was so fun and captivating! The plot twist at the end was SUPER twisty, ahhhhhhh. The cast of characters was also beautifully diverse in terms of race, sexuality, and (dis)abilities. I will say though that this volume was a bit confusing at times and required a lot of suspense of disbelief on the science-y aspect, which is why I'm knocking off a star on the rating.
Overall, I can't wait to read more about Batgirl; I've already requested the next volume at the library! Fingers crossed it comes in soon!
