After a catfight with Catwoman last issue, Batgirl thinks Selina is right about these statues...Could they be made from...actual living Gothamites? But when her investigation leads her to the KGBeast and he tells how he was involved in Nightwing being shot, all bets are off, and Batgirl is faced with doing the right thing or doing what is right for someone she loves.
This is a great issue. I think this is one of the best books DC is putting out right now. I love Castellucci's writing more with each issue and how ambitious her writing is. The art is great and it's a lot of fun to read. Read Full Review
There are several reasons why I can't wait to get my hands on the next issue of Batgirl, and you only need to readBatgirl #46 to find out why! Read Full Review
The story has been fantastic. The artwork on this particular issue is by Carmine Di Giandomenico, who I feel is one of the most under appreciated artists in comics. He does a great job here as well. Overall, this was a pretty great issue in a constantly improving series. Read Full Review
Its nice to see Batgirl and Batwoman hanging out together, but its not like they get a lot of time together. The messiness of the overall composition of the issue echoes the complexity of Babs life. It all comes along quite well. Its a satisfying chapter in the life of Batgirl. Theres an emotional connection from reader to character. Read Full Review
Batgirl #46 is full of clever writing, luminous artwork, and brilliant character growth. Read Full Review
This issue of Batgirl has a lighter tone while managing to juggle some more serious themes. That lightness really brightens up the book, and makes it an easy read that's enjoyable. While wrapping up one arc it also sets up elements that can be explored in the future, such as Barbara's relationship with Jason Bard, as well as the possibility of her moving away from working with Congresswoman Alejo or changing how she works with her. Even thought the story is moving into a totally different arc, I have hope that we may return to some of these proposed ideas soon. Read Full Review
This is kind of the calm before the storm as Batgirl gets directly involved with "Joker War," but it also manages to just be a pretty decent issue. Read Full Review
The final page is a huge bummer for me, but the basics here are solid: Batgirl action, hero angst, a little Jason Bard romance and some nuance, slightly undermined by confusing storytelling moments and the crossover hook. Read Full Review
Despite a solid handle on its characters, this issue gets very muddied thanks to some nearly incomprehensible action. Read Full Review
Batgirl #46 is an awful issue that is a slog to get through and hilarious for all the wrong reasons. It is rough being a Batgirl fan right now, and I can only hope we get something better and soon! Read Full Review
A lot of cliche writing with a bit of tragedy. But the real tragedy was seeing how disrespectful the writing was to Batgirl's intelligence as she swoons over Jason Bard with the stink of desperation.
