I've been enjoying Batgirl for a while now, but issue #17 has completely uprooted my expectations for the series. Maybe it's the interplay between the two characters, the perfectly constructed jokes, or the utter enjoyment I get from Damian Wayne in general, but Batgirl #17 is unapproachable as the best book I've read this week.

This is a great issue of a great comic book. Its not just the best Batman-family title youre not reading, it may well be the best Batman-family title period. Read Full Review

This is a series about the emergence of Batgirl into the role of a hero, a leader, and a wonderful person. It's a beam of sunshine on the new comics' racks, and it does a great job of brightening my day once every month. Read Full Review

Still one of the"I'm just gonna say it"funnest products from DC nowadays, Batgirl lets you into a sunnier side of Gotham. The inclusion of Damian Wayne into the mix offers one of the best characterizations of him yet, and adds a whole 'nother level of entertainment to the issue. Read Full Review

As dull as the Batman titles have been lately, it's nice to see a done-in-one issue that has a lot of spark in terms of action, character development, and art. Batgirl #17 is worth your time, even if seeing Damian wearing children's clothing and feeling completely out of place. Buy it now, and send a message to DC Comics that this is how to do a team-up that is fun and hits on all the points. Batgirl #17 definitely earns 4.5 Stars. Read Full Review

There's also a good opening dialogue between Damian and Alfred, who Damian has come to accept as "an adequate servant," and the random panel of Stephanie's dream mumblings about killing Abraham Lincoln. Throw in a high speed chase involving a school bus, which Damian stabs (successfully) and attempts to drive (a little less successfully), and you've got everything you need for a great read!
