Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart
3.0
It was only when I was halfway through this that I remembered, "Oh yeah, this is the Batgirl plotline that was called out for being transphobic!" They'd altered the text in the collected edition but it still seems like, really weird? Like why not just... have another woman impersonate Batgirl? It's not like Dagger Type is an established character, right? Why not just have had a woman perfomance artist steal Batgirl's identity. Why.
Whatever.
Overall, I liked this okay. I do like it when books/comics use social media, and I thought the overall storyline was something relatively fresh. Also, although I'm sad to see Alysia from Gail Simone's run leave, I did appreciate the diversity of Batgirl's new squad. And of course, the much-vaunted new costume is pretty dope.
