    I know the new direction may have turned some people off but I liked what I saw in the last issue and look forward to reading this one.

    I hate these previews on mobile. Always messes up on my phone.

    Nice to see that they really captured that grad school atmosphere. The art's solid, but I still think the pages feel too crowded.

    Preview looks dense and full of character, charm and so forth. But I didn't read it. I just sort of skimmed the art. Don't want to ruin four pages, that's almost a quarter of a comic. It's one thing with a decompressed title or something, but this stuff is pretty rich and needs savoring.

    But I like what I see. More Canary. Motorcycle anime girls. Babs hanging out with other girls doing things. Bechdel Tests being seemingly obliterated.

    Strong preview, quite a bit going on in the preview and there's a lot of characters being thrown in that could either just act as rich one offs or recurring characters rather than the usual one of two being built up and that's it. The artwork is looking really crisp too

    Twin anime-cosplaying sword-wielding assassins riding motorcycles. That is so incredibly ridiculous that it's awesome.

    I'm loving this so much. THIS is the Batgirl book I've been longing to read. Glad to see Barbara finally back in school, and see her geeking out over tech.

    The villains look like they will be insanely fun.

    The writers have said in interviews that this is post-Batman Eternal, and that there's a moment coming where she decides to distance herself from Bruce - who might also not be in a position to help anybody. And her dad was just in jail, maybe still there? Kind of a douche move if she went to him asking for money.

    Assuming he has any left. I could see him getting out of prison by the end of Eternal, but having lost most of his assets in the process (it's not like he was super-rich to begin with, being a cop and all). The writers seem to be going out of their way to have the other Bat-characters NOT go to Bruce for help/money, even when they really should. Dick apparently never even considered asking Bruce for help after the Joker blew up his circus and bankrupted him for example, even though Bruce almost certainly would have helped him if asked.
