As a longtime fan of Stephanie Brown and off the Batgirl legacy, I had high hopes for this series, but I don't think I could have ever imagined that it would so quickly become one of DC's strongest titles.

Final Thoughts: I would have never thought that I would be so enamored with Batgirl but here I am gushing over this title. There really isnt much to dislike either. Granted, this isnt literary high-brow type of comic that people gush over but it is a very good display of superhero comics. Definitely the most under-rated Bat book on the shelves. Read Full Review

Miller has suspense tension, romantic tension and personality friction driving this story along in classic Batgirl mode. That being said, Batgirl remains an adventure comic that delivers action and romance, and not a book that offers anything new or innovative to the field. The genre probably needs books that deliver adventure month after month, but no matter how well-crafted, the reader experience of Batgirl will have a hard time moving above average. We love Stephanie. We're going to read her stories. Now Michael Siglain has to ask Bryan Q. Miller what he wants to say in his Batgirl stories. Read Full Review
