BATGIRL #9

The conclusion to “Batgirl Rising” begins here with part one of the four-part “Flood” storyline! A string of bizarre, technology-based “suicides” gets the attention of both Batgirl and Oracle, but for very different reasons. And the two heroes will soon realize that they’re the real targets of a nefarious madman Hell-bent on revenge…

    Glad to see Lee Garbett back, but I miss the Noto covers already :(

  2. flakbait flakbait says:

    Really? I love this cover.

  3. glunders glunders says:

    Yeah, Lau’s covers are a huge improvement art-wise, though they don’t quite capture the personality of the book.

  4. That is a hot looking Batgirl! sssssss

  5. mikeandzod21 mikeandzod21 says:

    So this isn’t tied into Red Robin?

  6. Conor Kilpatrick conor (@cskilpatrick) says:

    @mikeandzod21: That was just a two part crossover – one issue in each title.

  7. rix0r rix0r says:

    Fucking awesome cover.

    Also, I believe that this would conclude the Red Robin/Batgirl crossover, but the crossover only used 1 issue of Batgirl and will finish in Red Robin?  Confusing, but I think that is right.

    Batgirl’s bike was in last week’s Red Robin, as was Oracle…The official crossover is done, but it’s definitely linked.

  9. Fvckstick Fvckstick says:

    an alright issue i thought. I think i have a hard time giving 5*’s to first parts in story arcs and first issues in general. but definatly a solid 4*

    The page where Oracle asks for an air fern and Stephanie’s reaction to the request help seal the deal for me when selecting a POTW. Too many good books this week.

  11. Crucio Crucio says:

    I gotta say I’m sick of Oracle going up against this bad guy over and over and over again. He’s a great villain and her perfect foil, but some other villains would be great or even better get a great nemesis for Batgirl.

  12. Slockhart Slockhart says:

    Is Cluemaster still alive/a villain?  Having never read any pre-Batgirl Stephanie stories, I’m kind of itching for that dynamic.

    This wasn’t the best issue of this book, but this book is like bacon: even the worst is still amazing. Loved the scene between Stephanie and Gordon.
