Well Batgirl is back, so to speak Barbara Gordon is. Three years ago (I guess we go on a five year rule now) she was crippled by the Joker. Now thanks to some miracle she can walk again. As much as I hate to see the DCU's taken paraplegic taken from us, it's kind of nice to her return to the role as Batgirl.
Great first issue to start her off. She's fun, she's surprising very likeable, and she probably flosses. She kicks butt and takes names which makes for book a fun ride. The art moves the story quickly from the opening action scene to Barbara moving out of her dad's place and into her own. I can really see her develop more as a character being a physical superhero than stuck at a computer.
I'm glad they've shelved all other Batgirls and brought back the original formula. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes comic books, likes girls, or is a girl. If they're a combination of all three, than so much the better. Here's hoping this book survives the cut.
Yep Adrian Syaf is a guy, check out his deviantart page for some more great works.
