It's terror in the third dimension starring Batgirl, Supergirl and Draculaand Dracula, and Dracula! When Supergirl decides to get away from it all and visit Stephanie Brown on the campus of Gotham City University, a quiet, relaxing weekend turns into a monster movie mash-up! After a science experiment goes horribly wrong, 24 black-and-white Draculas are brought to life, and Batgirl and Supergirl are forced to become vampire hunters in order to stop an army of the celluloid undead!
At first, I wasn't keen on the play off the stereotype that when girls get together they have pillow fights and such but I feel that it was presented in an ironic way. Nothing about being a superhero is ever "normal" or "typical". But that's what makes their relationship special: they both understand that and it bonds them. This issue rocked from beginning to end. A completely satisfying and fun read with awesome art and a masterful story. I'm so hooked on this title. Read Full Review
Stanley Lau's cover is gorgeous. I love the phony weathering, giving the book a tattered horror magazine or old movie poster feel. The internal art by Lee Garbett was solid, especially the pages where the two track the vampires ... some solid page construction there. It would have been nice if there was some way to more easily distinguish the two heroes. I know a lot of my analogies are food related. This issue was like lemon meringue pie: light, airy, not too filling, but absolutely delicious. Read Full Review
I've seen a lot of reviews trash this issue for being a silly doneinone story, which is absolutely ridiculous. This story is meant to be brief and fun and selfcontained; these are strengths, not its weaknesses. This is a bit silly and it is inconsequential, but it is also a ton of fun and extremely charming. This is one of the more entertaining comics I've read all year. Read Full Review
Its a little early, but this book easily could have been a Halloween special. No matter how you want to read it, though, its a real treat and a nice counterpoint to the bleaker books that often dominate the superhero landscape. Read Full Review
Throw in several humorously drawn moments from Lee Garbett as our pair of heroines take down the Dracula's all over town, and a terrific cover by Stanley Lau, and you've got yourselves a one hellova fun comic. I wasn't kidding about the petition. I definitely want to see more of these two together. Must-read. Read Full Review
This issue, like many issues in this series, is a done-in-one, another rarity in the comic book world nowadays. New readers can (and should, hint, hint) check this book out for a comic of a different kind. Read Full Review
A funny issue of Batgirl. I had a laugh, but missed my sense of escapist wonder. Pick it up. Share it with your kids. Read Full Review
