A review by breevee
Batgirl, Volume 1: Batgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart

4.0

My first Batgirl comic. I loved the art, and the diversity of the cast (though agree with some reviews that felt characters like Nadimah felt shoehorned and didn't get to do a whole lot besides smile and nod while Batgirl talked). I often felt like I might be missing some backstory or should've read another comic previous to this one to understand the relationship between Barbara and Dinah, or who Alysia is, but I guess that was inevitable with a superhero and universe as old as Batgirl and Gotham, even if they are revamped to be younger and trendier. I think I'll keep going with the series and hope some more exposition and character development in later issues will resolve some of my holdups with the first volume.
