Batgirl, Volume 2: Knightfall Descends by Gail Simone

4.0

2015: Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. Birds of Prey, under the hands of Gail Simone, was a gorgeous thing and It made me super happy to have all my amazing women back together doing amazing things!

2013: Gaaaaah. I do not want to fall in love with someone from 52, especially not the character I'm still mourning.

But I might be doing just that. Barbara is not Oracle, but she's still Barbara and I'm finding myself sucked deeper and deeper in. Loving shoutouts and guest appearances. This one added Lois in. (Who is another one of the stories I haven't been willing to touch or forgive or try to look into yet. So seeing her in a Bab's story was a tiny balm.) See Canary was a cheering point, and hopefully we'll see more of our girls together.

Surprisingly falling in love and applause for a zero/origin issue (and i'm notorious for being all brow furrowed, face making about origin stories, because I feel they are narrative cheating -- but, you know, what can you do when your conglomerate just white washed the whole universe and started over again. Even a cheater is better than no background then.)
