And we are then left with a to be continued. Personally, I can't wait it's a 5 out of 5 from me . Read Full Review

Barbara feels more real than ever as the series takes a deeper look into her day to day life and all the plates she has to spin now that she's back from China. If Batgirl continues with this look and feel it might go down as the strongest character work she's had in ages. Read Full Review

Overall, Batgirl #7 is a return to form for the title, not that it had fallen into bad form in the interim. But with a refocus, and a recenter, this return to Burnside feels as interesting and fresh as it did the first time. Read Full Review

Between the strong plotting and dialogue and the excellent guest art, this continues to be one of the top gems of the Bat-line. Read Full Review

Overall, however, Batgirl #7 is a great jumping-on point for fans, especially YOUNG fans, who want to enjoy the world of a young college student who just happens to swing around at night in a bat-costume. Glad to see Larson has maintained her groove and Wildgoose seems so immediately at home with the title. Its going to be a great ride from here. Read Full Review

This isn't exactly elegant, but it's getting the job done without apologies. I love that Larson has gone in with a surgical knife and is cutting away anything that won't contribute to a healthy Batgirl title going forward. She's also making her own mark by introducing Ethan Cobblepot to the world (can't wait to see what he's all about), and she's brought Dick back into Babs' life in a way that better than just peripheral "ex" nonsense. Wildgoose keeps the energy high in the art and this book has a solid combination of action and character building with a real emphasis on pushing the story forward. This is a very exciting time for Batgirl and I'm very optimistic about this new team! Read Full Review

Overall, Batgirl #7 sets up for an interesting arc that allows readers to see Burnside from a slightly different lens as our heroine returns after having grown a wider perspective as a person. If the series really hopes to address a sensitive theme, the rest of the series' success will lay in its supporting cast and how much Batgirl appreciates the perspective of others as she fights for the less fortunate around her. If that's the goal, Batgirl has set itself up with a diverse range of characters to utilize. If that's not the goal, expect a thinner plot of Batgirl facing a representative of a conspicuously greedy capitalist, or an elongation of the question whether to trust Penguin's estranged son. I'd rather the moral conflict between the two addressing opposing views on how to improve their city, but either way, we should find out soon. Read Full Review

All in all, BATGIRL #7 was an intriguing start to a new story arc, but not my favorite issue in the series. There are some strong themes present, and it would be great to see them explored. I have full confidence that Wildgoose will eventually hit his stride. I'm excited for what the next issues will hold! Read Full Review

This is a strong start to the new story. I really like all of the stuff with Barbara having to face major changes in her town and personal life after being gone for a while. Life moves on whether one is there to see it or not. The art is pretty good as well. I recommend checking this issue out. Read Full Review

The Penguin's son is a very strange romantic interest for Batgirl, but the issue is strong regardless. It's also a surprisingly effective starting point if you're debating giving this series a try. Read Full Review

Larson starts off her new arc of Batgirl with a bang, weaving a complicated web of intrigue and action with brilliant new artist Wildgoose. Read Full Review

Batgirl # 7 is a very strange beast. Barbara Gordon finally arrives back in Burnside, and even she's calling it a "parallel Burnside" where the tech industry has started to force out the local shops and drive up the rents at a ridiculous rate. While that is a very modern problem, it's introduced in a very jarring way as Larson appears to write out the majority of Babs' supporting cast. Read Full Review

Well, that was a bunch of bunk. Penguin's son being in the mix is intriguing, but if the issues going forward are of this caliber, I doubt I'll care. This was almost antagonistic in its poor storytelling. Read Full Review
