A review by nancyotoole
Batgirl, Vol. 5: Deadline by Gail Simone, Robert Gill, Matt Ryan, Javier Garrón, Jonathan Glapion, Marguerite Bennett, Fernando Pasarín

3.0

Deadline is the fifth and final run in Gail Simone's run on Batgirl, containing several one shots and the final showdown with Knightfall. While some of the one shots didn't do it for me, the results were overall solid, which pretty much sums up my impression on Simone's run as a whole. Not the strongest of the new 52 comics, but certainly not the weakest. A comic that I was happy to pick up and read from my library, but wouldn't spend my own money on. And that's pretty much how I recommend both Deadline, and the entire run to others: check it out from the library. You will likely find it to be a worthwhile use of your time.

The Deadline arc ends with hints of an interesting future for Batgirl. I will be continuing the comic to see what that future will be.
