I see "Archie" in the big cartoony heads on the tiny bodies and in the facial expressions. Notice how BIG the eyes are?
The size of things aside, I hate how Tarr pencils eyelashes and eyebrows...
So, OF COURSE the "girl'" Bat-character is the one who has to be the cutesy, fluffy, fun one, right? If DC gave Batman or Batwoman the "Hip Archie" treatment, fans would frrrreak out. Some of us LIKE...
(never mind)
Cmbmool said "Jean Grey," not "Phoenix." They are different entities. Yes, Jean should have stayed dead. Granted, she's a GREAT character, but by bringing her back, Marvel dilluted the legacy of the...
One problem I have with the art is how rigid Batgirl looks when she's in action. There's no motion to her.
I just finished Batgirl #35. It was good enough writing. Not much of a departure from some previous Batgirl stories but good enough. The worst thing about the writing is the eye-rollingly forced...
Cassandra Cain. Lame origin. Never even wanted to be Batgirl.
It seems like if Barbara has a beyond-perfect memory, she'd at least be able to vaguely recall the guy she almost banged a few hours earlier - drunk or not. She had to have been dangerously drunk if...
It's sad that both the regular cover and variant to #35 give Batgirl green eyes. So lame. RUINS the art.
So ... Barbara's AMAZING photographic memory doesn't work if she's drunk? I'm embarrassed for the "I never forget anything" Batgirl that she made out with a guy and doesn't even remember his face...
I'd have much more faith/interest in this change in direction if the colorist had gotten Batgirl's eye color right on the cover. Geeez, so sloppy. You'd never see Superman with green eyes.
IIRC, the last time we saw the Malice entity, a teenaged Franklin drew her out of Sue's mind, projeted her into an evil Reed's mind, and then that Reed died -- with Malice inside his mind -- during a...

2. Colossus
3. Firestar
4. Beast
5. Jean Grey
And yet that's what your post pretty much said: "How can anyone look at this: And say it's not good? It just baffles me. The artwork is beautiful."
If the question was indeed rhetorical, why...
Because people have diffferent opinions. They're allowed. And my opinion is that cartoony, trendy art bites the big one.
What Sue's force fields can block has been depicted inconsistently. For example, when Jean Grey came back from the dead the first time, Sue's force fields could easily block her telekinesis - but...
The writing seems good enough but that "art"? Yuck.
While at Forbidden Planet in London last week, I found a great Invisible Woman hard cover. It contains the story of how she went from "Invisible Girl" to "Invisible Woman" and has some cool bonus...
I interpreted Knightfall's defeat being the fact that Batgirl published all her data on the Web. The crying was just a bonus.
This was a very good issue. Yes, it felt rushed - but Gail Simone was finishing up two more years' worth of stories in three issues. If she had stayed on the book longer, as planned, the events would...
Yeah, that stinks. I dislike much of the "editorial work" on this title. Firestar is a favorite character of mine, and I don't recognize the personality (or lack of) she's given in this title. It's...
Barbara's being precocious has always been part of her character, so I don't understand the issue with her "acting like a 30-year-old". Next, people will be saying she's "too young to be as smart as...
My opinion is combat boots/Doc Martens are not Batgirl's style. I can accept her wearing that hodgepodge, slapped-togehter suit for a story or two, but it doesn't jibe for me overall. The fact is we...
Batgirl's creation was inspired by the TV show, but she appeared in comics first, so I consider her costume on the cover of 'Tec 359 to be her classic look. YMMV.
P.S. I'm not sure which earlier...
