    Even Batgirl is sick of all those depressing and downbeat stories. Damn straight she deserves some fun after all of this!
    Opinions may vary in quality.

    My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.

    My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.

    I think this comic is trying to say something.

    Guess with Dick dead and Jason written by a different editing department the required "bitching about Bruce and whatnot" quota falls to Babs now, haha.

    Could do without all the rebellious teen angst here though. I do wish she was written a little more mature. Doesn't have to be Batgirl Year One mature, but she has been around this hero business for like 5 years already.

    Because one-note, whiny, mean-girl characterisation is what all fans of Dinah Lance have been crying out for, like forever.

    More sad on top of sad for Canary fans.

    And Barb is taking a selfie while fighting crime?



    So glad I dropped this book.

Hold on a second - you'd probably be attacked by a grizzly as well.On second thought..the Grizzlies don't beat ANYBODY here in Vancouver,let alone anywhere else,it's true,it's true!"

    batgirl going full on booster gold is the best thing that could have happened to her. Who cares if she's acting childish she's in her early 20s and having the time of her life

    Team Bitch-Canary. Because who wouldn't be angry if your best friend burned down all your possessions?

    An adult?

    An actual friend?

    A character who deserves to be more than just a giggle-snort for a few people?

    You must be joking. Even the best of friends would be pissed for a while.

    The friendship's still there (if it wasn't, Dinah wouldn't even be in the same state). But Babs is getting some well deserved crap and she KNOWS the crap she's getting is well deserved.

    What the hell is Babs doing!? It's one thing to run an effective propaganda/social media campaign, quite another to go barhopping in uniform.

    Dinah is 100% justified. Thank god there is a reasonable character here.

    Babs needs to get her head screwed on straight.

    I don't like seeing such turmoil in the Babs/Dinah friendship. They are supposed to be some of the best friends in comics. Why can't they just show people getting along; seems to me like there is even more angst than before.
