A series that delivers on multiple fronts month after month! Read Full Review

That's the main crux of the story. Grotesque's true identity is revealed, and Barbara discovers it potentially too late. Now that her dad is guarding valuable art, his life is at risk, and only she can save the day. I'm sure we'll get plenty of action in the next issue, but for now, it's nice to see Barbara recognizing she has value no matter what identity she assumes. Read Full Review

Mairghread Scott's Batgirl run continues to be one of the most intriguing new runs in DC Comics at the moment, but it almost feels like two runs in one. Read Full Review

This is a better than solid story arc by writer Scott with attractive art. I am thoroughly enjoying this title and look forward to the next installment. Read Full Review

This is my only complaint, otherwise I think it's a pretty great comic. The story is fantastic, as is the writing. Just the artwork lets it down for me. Read Full Review

Babs' battle against Grotesque is able to be stretched into something much bigger, bringing some genuinely good moments along with it. Read Full Review

This book is something every Bat-reader, or reader in general, should be checking it. It's likely the best Bat-book being published, without question. The art is stunning and the character work and overall plotting is fabulous. Buy and read with confidence. Read Full Review

This is a good issue. The art is cool; there's a nice style to it. I do like the ultimate of what Grotesque is doing and why. But I would rather find that out with Barbara; it makes part of the issue kind of tedious for me. However, the scene between Babs and her father alone makes this issue well worth a read.

Batgirl's got a lot on her plate, and none of it is particularly tasty, which makes for delicious drama in Mairghread Scott's third installment of the "Art of Crime" storyline. Read Full Review

Scott guides the story through the penultimate chapter with a somewhat stilted rhythm. It's an awkward collection of moments to try to frame inside a single issue. Read Full Review

We meet the new Grotesque and some of the scope of their plot, but not enough to hang our hats on. Barbara's character continues to be elevated in subtle but lasting ways, and this issue has a much-needed talk between Babs and her dad, though it ran a little long. This has been a pretty cool story arc, I think I'm ready for its conclusion now. Read Full Review

Batgirl #28 had all the ingredients to be a strong issue. Unfortunately Batgirl #28 does not handle the transition of who the main antagonist properly. The failure in the execution in this part of the story hurt the overall impact that Scott was looking to have in this issue. Luckily Scott's writing of Barbara Gordon and Paul Pelletier artwork lifts Batgirl #28 up even when the main story stumbles over itself. Read Full Review

What thisissue equally focuses on his Barbaras healing. Not just her physical body andher continued ability to walk, but also the growing understanding between herand her father. I consider it effective character development, though mypersonal preference is to see it in a bit more minimized. Growth is an ongoingprocess, and we often experience spurts of understanding. Im pleased to seeDC avoiding emotional scenes in each issue. Occasionally is fine, but too manyvery special moments detract from the narrative as a whole. Read Full Review

Pelletier does his best with the script but there's not much he can do. Hopefully this picks up. Otherwise, I can foresee this getting canceled. Read Full Review

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 7.
+1 because: just so happy to have BG not be stupid and horrible anymore

This isn’t really bad but it isn’t really that exciting either.

I guess someone had to pick up the abandoned Nightwing story arc... I'm really dreading when that comes to the forefront because it's such a stupid idea. But for now, we just get more family drama which sure is a thing. I don't like Batgirl's ego much. Especially since she keeps screwing up. Maybe a literal genius wouldn't screw up and maybe a literal genius wouldn't figure something out and then tell themselves they already had it figured out, subconsciously. I don't know, I'm not a literal genius.
