Batgirl #12

You may remember, I was less than happy with the choice of Stephanie Brown as the new Batgirl, but writer Bryan Q. Miller has proven me wrong. (Yes 'monkey occasionally I can admit a mistake.) "Batgirl Rising" concludes here as Batgirl sets out to save Oracle from the clutches of the Calculator with the help of the villain's daughter (and one-time SuperFriend Wendy Harris). Once again a strong issue all around. And I'll give a shout out to artists Lee Garbett and Pere Perez for giving us just the right look for our spunky, smart, and sassy heroine. A new Batgirl has found her place in the DCU, and I'm glad. Worth a look.
