The narrative makes a few small errors and one of the book’s subplots is lackluster, but these do not affect the overall quality of the collection. Watching Batgirl struggle against them is an odd mix of inspiring and terrifying that proves to be very effective. Two villains dominate this collection, both are well written and bring a ton of history with them. 3: Death of the Family, by Gail Simone, is a dark and gripping trip through what is sure to be one of the most harrowing experiences in the life of Barbara Gordon. There are a few small flaws at random points but the collection as a whole is a major success. It also helps that these characters are all well written. Here, Barbara Gordon is forced to face off against two enemies whose very presence has a huge effect on her life. Overall: This is a rough volume for Batgirl but an intense and interesting one for the fans. The Firebug storyline is not that interesting. Both villains are well written and bring out an intense range of emotions from Batgirl.Ĭons: There are a few inconsistencies in story and art. James Gordon’s storyline is great and ends with a great segue into the next volume. Pros: The Joker is every bit as brutal and psychotic as fans would expect.
