Batgirl, Volume 2: Knightfall Descends by Gail Simone
4.0
I really love the stories and most of the art in this book, but the internal monologue makes it REALLY hard to read (yellow on black thought bubbles), which reduces my enjoyment of it.
The other other odd bit about this volume was issue 9, which was apparently part of a big DC New 52 crossover story. Thing is, reading in a volume like this, and not having read ANY of the other stories, I had no clue what was going on! It ended, then the regular continuity kicked back in – I had to look up what that was all about. Annoying, because it was actually really interesting, and I would have liked to read more, but I'm not interested in buying different titles to follow one story.
Anyway, liking Batgirl. Like the story, like the protag, like the glimpses of other characters we get.
