Batgirl, Vol. 2: Knightfall Descends by Alitha Martinez, Gail Simone, Vicente Cifuentes, Ardian Syaf, Ed Benes
3.0
So here is a thing: if Barbara Gordon is so smart, then why doesn't she figure out the very obvious thing about Alaska-the-Siamese-cat?
Because she spends an awful lot of her inner monologue time thinking about how smart she is.
Anyway, I picked this up because I was curious what Gail Simone's Batgirl (especially post-recovery) was like (not that I've read any pre-recovery anyway), especially as it's sadly novel to have your female superheroes written by, y'know, females. I liked it - I'll try to pick up some more to read - but I didn't expect it to be quite so dark.
I guess that goes with anything in the Bat universe? I don't know; I figured the New 52 reboot would be a little lighter. That's a resounding no here, especially w/r/t Cherise Carnes, whose story is pretty vicious and gross.
Also: Batwoman? There's a Batwoman? My comics-fu is pretty weak.
