Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart
3.0
Good things: Stellar, colorful art. Great representation. Dialogue that doesn't drive me up the wall.
...now, the things I'm not so psyched about..
I understand that I might be experiencing some tonal whiplash after finishing the Gail Simone run, but the idea of independent, strong badass Babs turning into slightly clueless and confused roomie Babs did not go down super well with me. I understand and respect the writer's decision to go in that direction, but everything seems too dumbed down and the stakes are almost non-existent. It's weird too, because the previous run was dark, and yet Babs just gritted her teeth and moved on. Here, the mopey unsure attitude really doesn't fit the character at all. Weirds me out.
Anyways, it's still somewhat fun, so check it out.
