Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart
3.0
I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about Batgirl. There were some moments where I was totally confused about the backstory, and there was minimal explanation. Obviously, I need to go back and read the older stuff, but I was super excited for the new costume!
The story line was a little all over the place, but it tied together at the end. In reading some of the other reviews, I have to agree that Batgirl was stuck somewhere between tween and adult without much of an actual college-aged character development. The whole selfie thing was also quite disappointing. Even if her mentor wasn't Batman, that was just too much self-aggrandizing for a hero.
The artwork was beautiful, and had me vacillating between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately the story line was too weak to give it 4. I'm hoping vol. 2 will offer better stories and characters (and definitely villains).
