This issue of secret origins covers three heroes and a villain: Batgirl, Firestorm (counts as two!), and Poison Ivy. By far, the Firestorm entry was the most enjoyable - Dan Jurgens does a smart move in choosing how to narrate the story that immediately brings us into the world of these two teenagers.

While I haven't been a fan of the current take on Batgirl, this was a interesting way to give the readers a little background in what's going on in her title.  Besides for that though and seeing what happened to Poison Ivy after her Villain's Month issue, this title is still very strange to me.  I can say that this issue does add actual "secret" things that elevates this issue over it's previous installments but not enough to really keep me interested.

These Secret Origins stories are coming to an end and it's probably just as well. Sometimes the writers have managed fresh new ways of telling old stories, or, in the case of this month's Batgirl origin, tell a whole new story that actually ties-in or supports the current action of the regular series. Overall it's felt a little more miss than hit to me over the course of the series, but this issue was pretty solid even though I wish a different artist had been chosen for the Batgirl tale.

This was worth waiting for and honestly makes this whole book worth forking out the money for. Read Full Review
