My mom really came through with this stocking stuffer. I really thought I had given up playing with dolls years ago but Barbara Gordon has never looked so good! 💜💜💜

I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel with special appearances by Nightwing and Batman.

Masked super heroines. My Batgirl is Stephanie Brown which I discovered through recs. Thor and Ms Marvel are good choices too. #aprilbookshowers #masked

writerlibrarian No score in the first period in Ottawa but NY scores on PP in the 2nd. It's 1-0. No score in Washington after 15 s and adds another on a few seconds later Crosby. 2-0 Pens. Ottawa tied the game in the 2nd. Ovi scores with a lethal wrist shot. 2-1 Pens. Karlsson from an impossible angle put the Senators ahead 2-1. Ottawa wins the first game. Caps tie the game. Bonino scores in the last third of the 3rd period and Pens win the first game, 3-2. (edited) 8y

This was my first DC comic! I don't know much about this world, but there were cameos by Batman and Nightwing. 😀 Overall, I thought the story was ok, but I loved how real Batgirl is made out to be. She is strong and vulnerable. We see the way past and present events affect her emotionally and I really enjoyed that aspect. 🌟🌟🌟

Super dark Batgirl story, holy shit 😳 really good though! Gail Simone killed it yet again. Can't believe it took me this long to start this series.

So apparently Batgirl's roommate is from Singapore! And yay they got that right about Orchard Road. And on a previous page, laksa! Also, thanks Gail Simone for making Alysia Yeoh a non-typical Asian character that is, not a nerd but an activist! #comics

BethFishReads Sounds great! 8y

RealLifeReading @Darthdad oh yes I really liked her Red Sonja series but didn't quite like Birds of Prey. 8y

maximoffs @Library-Belle I'm a devoted Marvel fan obviously. My friends that I live with are diehard DC and he gave me a list of what I should read to get a good taste of DC, this was on the list! Really liking it 8y
Library-Belle @steverogers def try to get your hands on some Harley Quinn to try.... What I love about DC is how they use people's minds to make their villains awesome. DC was my first comic love but I'm starting love some of the Marvel women such as Scarlett Witch and of course I'm a major Loki fan. 8y
maximoffs @Library-Belle I'm pretty sure Harley Quinn is on my list somewhere. Trying to balance comics and novels has been hard lately! 8y
moranadatter Yay! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Second the rec for Harley Quinn. 8y
maximoffs @kmdartist I think I'll always be a Marvel girl but I can appreciate DC more now 8y
moranadatter @steverogers I'm the opposite probably because I grew up watching tv shows starring DC characters. Thanks to the X-Men, I started reading Marvel comics and learned to appreciate them, but I was in college by that time. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were a part of my childhood. The things we read when we're young... 8y
maximoffs @kmdartist absolutely! I think whoever you read first really becomes your love 8y

This is my first DC comic. I have no interest in choosing sides between DC and Marvel, I just want to read cool stories especially with kickass ladies. This did not disappoint. Barbara is really admirable in this. I'm not such a fan of so much narration but that's just personal preference
