In this issue, it's Batgirl for Congress! Plus, masked assassins and awkward exes! Barbara Gordon volunteers to campaign for an up-and-coming reformer candidate who wants to take on the GCPD. That puts Barbara in a tough spot against her father-police commissioner James Gordon. And just when things couldn't get any more awkward, a former flame reenters Barbara's life. Personal angst and a masked super-villain hunting a mystery target. It's gonna be a long day, Babs.
This issue is great. The story takes an interesting turn and I'm curious to see where it goes next. The book is full of personality; it's a great marriage of writer and artists. The team is in complete sync with each other and it shows. The art matches the writing perfectly and it makes an issue that is a lot of fun. Read Full Review
It should be quite interesting to see where the story goes from here. I can't wait to get my hands on the next issue, as I need answers. Read Full Review
A great read that balances the political intrigue and Batgirl's personal character story well. Read Full Review
Though notperfect, the writing has been strong and the artwork superb in the time Ive beenreading this series, maintaining a consistent quality that is nothing short ofrefreshing. In this era where more emphasis is paid to the writer, and less tothe artist(s), this series keeps me coming back for more, month after month. Read Full Review
This book continues to impress me every month. Scott and Pelletier are a powerhouse creative team. Buy this book!!! Read Full Review
This is a great combo of the "Teen detective" vibe of the Burnside run with the more mature Batgirl pioneered by Gail Simone. I hope they end the rift between the Gordons soon, but this is a great run. Read Full Review
While this issue isn't perfect, there's a lot of it that really works, largely thanks to how capable Scott is to bring out the nuance of Barbara as a narrator and character. Read Full Review
This was just a solid issue. This series has very quickly become one of those good ol' reliable reads that come in every month. It's a tiny joy to discover that a new issue of BATGIRL is on the way when I prepare for a week of books. The art is something I've enjoyed dissecting and studying, which I truly appreciate since anything to help me understand sequential art more is valuable to me, inherently. The story is very good and this is simply one of the best books published by DC. Please, read it! Read Full Review
Scott and company arent reaching for something revolutionary with this story. Its a solidly-produced earthbound crimefighter fiction with a badass heroine trying to aid in a fair election, which is admirable in the current political climate. Just enough of a mix of topical action and intrigue to make for an entertaining read. Read Full Review
An action-packed politically charged thriller! Read Full Review
A slow, but methodically-paced issue that seems to be building around the story, instead of towards an immediate conclusion. I can't complain about that; if we must have six-issue story arcs to satisfy trade collecting, then let's make the padding palatable. Despite some other personal grievances, I think this is a solid issue and worth your time. Read Full Review
Batgirl continues the story arc which shows her dealing with Gotham City politics. This second issue raises more questions than it answers as the mystery of who is behind Cormorant develops. Read Full Review
Also, Scott continues to absolutely nail Barbara's voice and inner monologue. Babs is definitely less fun these days, but it's clear that it's due to Barbara's circumstances and not from a complete shift in personality. I really appreciate the authenticity of it all. Read Full Review

And Pelletier just does some of the most uninspired art I've seen in this issue. It felt like a chore to read. He makes everything feel plastic and flat. I feel like he's just the complete wrong choice of this title. We deserve better. Read Full Review
Wasn't the best nor was the worse. A nice solid good issue! Story progressed and great artwork1 We really see Batgirl at her prime well at least more tan what we have seen in the past year or two.
Not bad, but please give us more like the Batgirl annual by Scott. The art is a bit iffy at spots.
This was pretty good. I wasn't bored like last issue. But still, this series could use a little more "oomph."
This story arc is just fine, but there’s nothing here to get me excited.
