This mini-series escaped my radar I was unaware how entertaining Batgirl can be written and drawn. There's been more than one occasion where I laughed and was thoroughly engaged in the action. The story is truly a winner, smart writing and witty banter won me over.

This story is every bit as good as you have heard. Barbara/Batgirl has a very unique "voice" and the art has a beautiful, cinematic quality.

It would be great to see a follow-up series as long as they were able to re-assemble the same creative team from this book.
