The thing Batgirl is doing best right now is the short stories; the one-and-done issues, or the quick two/three parters that tell a story as quickly as possible. It makes the series feel more like a fun, drop-in than a meaty, complex continuing series. This most recent two-parter has seen Stephanie become a murder suspect, and go on the run as she attempts to discover the true culprit. It’s great stuff and Bryan Q. Miller is demonstrating his absolutely incomparable skill at crafting a character from an individual who’s been screwed over by editorial more times than I can count. As the new artist on the series, Dustin Nguyen is handling his art chores magnificently; everything feels slightly cartoonier than before, but it works with the book as a whole and helps to develop the world of Batgirl, on the fringes of the other Bat-Books. This book is constantly a must read, and if you haven’t dipped in, this most recent story and the Dracula one-shot that preceded it might be the best place to start.
Art: 5 - Excellent
