Steph's mother in Eternal #4, WOW! Just wow.
Thanks for making me hungry for waffles!
Great to see Steph Brown back again in Batman Eternal. The Once and Future Batgirl rides again!
Steph had an interesting and strong back story before, but I have to say they are really building her a great story here. I'm glad this book is weekly so we dont have to wait a month for each issue and her story to unfold.
So happy Steph is back. Eternal is a must for me just for that reason alone.
So how is Stephanie faring in Eternal? Is she the same person we all know and love, or have they botched her character? From what I gather, her origin seems to be (at least mostly) intact, right? If she's being treated right, then I'll start getting the series to support her. I just don't want a repeat of the Helena Bertinelli/Wayne fiasco, where I thought I was supporting a character I loved by buying her miniseries, only to find out at the end that it was all basically a lie (yes, I'm still bitter about that).
I waited to get any Eternal issues until #3 came out. Know it probably didn't make any sort of difference, but wanted to give whatever kind of push I could to Steph coming back.
Became a big fan of hers last year. I was aware of Spoiler from Robin, though buying his series was hit and miss for me, and Cass' Batgirl series back in the day. But it wasn't until I read a fanfic of Steph going to the Marvel verse because of the new52 stuff that I came to love her.
It was called Aegis and the set up is that Loki brings her back after Black Mask killed her in exchange for her agreeing to help him in the future, for whatever reason he asks for. Fast forward a few years, and people start forgetting about her as the new52 is treated as a multiverse thing. Loki brings her over...somehow (can't remember), and she ends up agreeing to be a protector for kidLoki.
Anyway, it was a well written and interesting fic, and I became really intruiged with Stephanie as a character. Then bought the first few issues of her Batgirl series and that was all she wrote. Now I'm a fan for life.

God, I hope DC let's Kara and Steph become friends again somewhere down the road! Their friendship was adorable and so much fun. Their teamup issues in Bryan Q. Miller's run were some of the most fun I've ever had reading a comic in my life. THIS moment, in particular.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Double post, so sorry
