Now I wanted to start off with one of my favorites lately and that is the sort of soft re-boot, re-design, whatever you want to call it of Batgirl, I am a huge Barbra Gordon fan, going way back as a kid. I really like this version of Barbra, it makes her real and kind of relate-able to a 20-something. I know some readers dislike this batgirl and call her "hipsster batgirl" and all that other crap, but I am really enjoying this so far.
I thought the new 52 Babs was okay at first, I mean shit got really dark and crazy at times, but it wasn't my favorite read, until this. I got really excited when all of the re-design photos started coming out and of course I helped my friend build her awesome new batgirl cosplay, because seriously how awesome does she look? It just seems like I said before, more relate able. Not to mention she looks like a normal 20-something, that has to deal with things someone around that age would deal with, a long with having to fight crime and other things. Its not just your basic, good guy fights bad guy situation. Babs deals with friendship issues, relationship struggles, things that a 20-something would have to deal with, and to me, that is just as awesome as kicking ass.
All of the issues thus far have been really well written (with out giving away spoilers) and the art is just fantastic. It has really made me love the character that much more, and I just really enjoy reading it every month. I don't think I have disliked one issue, It has sort of made me fall in love with Batgirl all over again.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this little comic favorite! I will be doing more of these soon, and if you have some comic favorites you think I should check out, comment down below!
