I think both versions have their good points. I do think Simone's run suffered from editorial directions. In general, though, I guess I do like a lighter tone for Batgirl; one of my favorite issues...
In the Batgirl: Endgame one-shot, Batgirl calls Frankie by her name, so I guess the algorithm will be named Oracle. It's really a nice flip, having Babs be the one out in the field while an...
I agree, except that I would start from the beginning of Birds of Prey. Chuck Dixon's version isn't as good as Simone's, but her portrayal really follows on and develops from his. Plus, they are...
Okay, this explains a lot. That's really stupid. And my respect for Gail Simone grows the more I learn about the constraints under which she wrote the book.
Because apparently writers cannot imagine someone helping people just because it's a good thing to do or someone having empathy for others without direct experience.
There's also the issue of...
Somehow, somehow, I missed the announcement of Doreen's ongoing. It look like I'll be making a special trip down to my local shop next week.
I just finished Batman '66 Meet the Green Hornet #6, which has a couple "holy" expression, but that probably "doesn't count."
Sidenote: Careers in certain subject specialties can eventually require a second Masters degree. I work as a parapro in music cataloging at a university library, and my boss has, in addition to his...
I really loved this. Very fun book! That made it all the more poignant when in the flashback, it was suddenly Batgirl Barbara sitting crosslegged on the floor, begging Atomina to get up. Seeing...
I just got the printed issue yesterday. "Morning Coffee" was great fun. The story was a treat, and I loved Amy Mebberson's art. She does a really good job on MLP, and even though Wonder Woman is a...
Not bad, but she has good 6 inches of space between the tops of her legs.
Exciting news! I'm glad I saw this thread. Is there any indication of when the print issues will start?
I'm very happy with the ending of Azzarello and Chiang's run. I loved how it took a story that is a good bit more grim than I usually like and brought it around to confirming the central values of...
The poll is closed, so I'll just record my vote for Batgirl here. Birds of Prey was a close second; great to see Black Canary as a confident capable leader with Christi Marx finally done with...
In the certain types of--let's call it "fantasy superheroics," the purpose behind the story is to present things not as they might really happen in the real world, but as we might aspire to be. They...
Experimental surgery and a year of rehab.
Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #1
Nightwing #30 for me. The last third is supposed to set up Grayson, which I plan to pull.
And after I wrote this, I read today's issue of BoP where they go to the barge where Mother Eve has a lot of data and surveillance on a criminal that the team studies and then heads off to defeat. ...
I'm sorry to see Birds of Prey cancelled, but not surprised. Marx never really had much of a chance to put her stamp on this.
It is likely that it will be relaunched in the near future. When it...
Wonder Woman and Oracle team-up? Very interesting....
The latest issue #33 was a good read. One thing that people have mentioned as missing before: she has lenses for her cowl. She puts a good hurting on Ragdoll, too, changing tactics when her usual...
While I love Birds of Prey v. 1, Justice League Unlimited has been the best version of her character that I've seen. The clip you included is one of the reasons why. She is just so professional and...
Yvonne Craig was so good as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. The perfect mix of confidence and cute.
