I tried reading the new, lighter in tone Batgirl series and it is DEFINITELY not being written with me in mind. And the cover

Posted by TWuG Mar 17 '15, 19:26

was about as opposite in tone to the contents of the book as is possible.

I think the book is well written, but just not something I would enjoy reading. And the art bugs me.

But I'm thrilled it's brought in an audience that was underserved and hope the cover issue didn't damage that.

Since the cover is not being released, it shouldn't. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 20:42
Is it Gail Simone? -- nm - David Mar 17, 19:33 10
- No. I loved her take on the character. The new angle is very much tween-centric. - TWuG Mar 17, 19:42 [Image] 5
  - It's that Spiderman Loves Mary Jane style that Kim loves. -- nm - David Mar 17, 19:50 1
    - Good analogy. It reminds me a bit of the style used in Locke & Key. - TWuG Mar 17, 20:04
  - I like that art a lot. nm - Dignan Mar 17, 19:49 1
    - Honestly, I think the art is fine, but it doesn't work as "Batgirl" art for me. - TWuG Mar 17, 19:56
  - Yeah, a little more comic strip than comic book. -- nm - tobor.2 Mar 17, 19:45
- no she left the book months ago. -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 19:38 3
  - DC has one real talent and they don't even treat her well. - David Mar 17, 19:39 2
    - yeah but they brought her back. And gave her two new books to do. She left the last time of her own accord. -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 19:44 1
      - she also writes Red Sonja now -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 20:14
