Batgirl, Vol. 4: Wanted by Gail Simone, Marguerite Bennett, Jonathan Glapion, Fernando Pasarín, Derlis Santacruz, Carlos Rodríguez, Daniel Sampere
2.0
This arc has just not been my cup of tea. I love Jonathan Glapion's inks, but I don't care for the way the artist draws people - somewhere in between not realistic enough and not cartoony enough, if that makes sense.
I love Gail Simone, but I just want this arc to be over. We all know Barbara is going to put the bat symbol back on - why not just hurry up and get it over with?
And James Gordon is written unnecessarily stubborn and unwilling to listen to reason. Especially since his son was a murderer who was just about to do what he does best.
Overall, I think this arc is exposing a fatal weakness to the new 52 Batgirl - we've just been treated to ephemeral teases, especially when it comes to her chair.
I am hoping that Gail Simone has something good planned for the next arc.
