3.0

Babs is having a terrible time.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first 2. Probably because I felt like the Ventriloquist villain dragged this down a bit.

This is the aftermath of Babs' fight with her brother James in the last volume. I didn't think he was really dead because this is a comic book. She feels guilty and Gordon is on the warpath for Batgirl. For an interesting concept like that, we don't get as much on it as I would have thought. I'm used to Gordon being a big part of Batgirl's stories but I was surprised by how much we got outside of him in this book.

We get Babs trying to move on and she tries to retire from being Batgirl. She feel unworthy to wear the Bat symbol and she even cuts it out of her uniform. That was really interesting.

I loved Babs and Ricky together and what happens with that made me really sad. Gordon's involvement just made it worse. Babs can't enjoy anything, can she?

I loved seeing Alysia and Bab's friendship. The fight scenes were beautifully drawn, as usual. I wish I enjoyed this more.
