It's the strength of Barbara's inner voice that carries this comic. Her personality comes through so clearly, and I love that she's honest about how difficult things still are for her.. that she comes so close to losing, and that she has to use every drop she has left in the tank. She never gives up.

Knightfall was an OK villain, her henchmen were kind of lame though. James Gordon Jr rocks up and I had no idea he was evil/a serial killer, so that took me by surprise! Interested to see what he gets up to in the next volume. This is also the first time that I, and Barbara, meet Batwoman. She doesn't say much but she seems pretty cool. ( )

2015: Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. Birds of Prey, under the hands of Gail Simone, was a gorgeous thing and It made me super happy to have all my amazing women back together doing amazing things!

2013: Gaaaaah. I do not want to fall in love with someone from 52, especially not the character I'm still mourning.

But I might be doing just that. Barbara is not Oracle, but she's still Barbara and I'm finding myself sucked deeper and deeper in. Loving shoutouts and guest appearances. This one added Lois in. (Who is another one of the stories I haven't been willing to touch or forgive or try to look into yet. So seeing her in a Bab's story was a tiny balm.) See Canary was a cheering point, and hopefully we'll see more of our girls together.

Surprisingly falling in love and applause for a zero/origin issue (and i'm notorious for being all brow furrowed, face making about origin stories, because I feel they are narrative cheating -- but, you know, what can you do when your conglomerate just white washed the whole universe and started over again. Even a cheater is better than no background then.) ( )

I've little to say about this. It didn't suck, but it also wasn't a "page-turner". ( )

Awesome. I liked the first volume, but in this second volume Gail Simone seems to have hit her stride with Barbara Gordon.

Like the previous volume there are a few different plot lines and bad guys, but they all wind up being pretty complimentary to each other. There's a creepy bad guy called Grotesque. And a bunch of metahumans that seem to be ordered around by a bad guy called Knightfall and Batgirl does a whole lotta fighting.

I was glad that they let up just a bit on the psychodrama stuff in regards to Batgirl's getting shot by the Joker too. It never rang right in this particular series.

There were also some cool scenes with Black Canary (Simone does that relationship so well), and Batwoman.

So while I'm still getting used to Barbara Gordon as Batgirl and not Oracle. I think this one of the better New 52 reboots/new titles. ( )
