Batgirl, Volume 1: Beyond Burnside by Hope Larson
4.0
Batgirl vs...Asia, basically.
It's been awhile since I read Batgirl, and there are a lot of volumes I don't have access to, but I fell right back into this so easily. There's no big continuity that starts this particular series off, and as a N00b to comics, I appreciate this more than a lot of writers can understand.
The artwork is fantastic, as ever. And we even get a little Poison Ivy cameo in the last chapter (or whatever you call that in comic book speak), which was wonderfully thrilling to me.
One thing I notice with every Batgirl series, and which drives me nuts every time: Why do so many people refer to Barbara Gordon as Barbara Gordon? Like, "Hey, Barbara Gordon, ready to go out to eat?" Like...why? Why is this a thing?
