So a few months back, Barnes and Nobles had a sale on all DC
graphic novels. It was to celebrate the seventy-fifth year of Batman or DC
comic itself. I am not entirely sure but the sale was buy two get one free.
I entered with the hope of buying Batman’s Hush and maybe
another special or two. Upon arriving at the nerd section aka comics and
science-fiction, I was unable to locate hush or any batman comics. I was
disappointed to say the least. Hush is what got me into the batman comics.
But further exploration led to the discovery of volume one
of Batgirl, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman.
Now I love Catwoman, anyone who knows me understands this
fact. But Wonder Woman and Batgirl, I’ve never read. But a Twitter friend is a
huge fan of both. So, on the faith that he had good taste in comics, I
purchased both and am grateful I did. At least on the Batgirl stand, I have yet
to read Wonder Woman.
The first issue of Batgirl gripped me. Barbara Gordon has
regained the ability to walk and has resumed her identity as Batgirl. I hear
fanfare at this declaration. But still holds a secret fear that becomes
apparent at the end of the issue.
The writing style of this issue is what drew me in. It is
tight, action oriented. Perfect for a disciple of batman. The panel’s colors are deep, not dark and the
action scenes look vicious as the compassionate scenes are sweet.
Overall the first issue was brilliant with the introduction
of The Mirror, a killer who seeks the death of those who have survived when
they should not have.
