Batgirl, Vol. 4: Wanted
by Gail Simone
This was a solid followup. Volume 3 was better but some things I did love in here. This is broken into two parts. First half revolves around a crazy puppet master chick with a doll who can, you guessed it, talk and kill people. Sounds dumb right? Actually it's the best part. Super exciting and fun and the villain is creepy as fuck and perverted so makes it entertaining. Then we have the second half where Knightfall go after Gordan cause he knows too much. Inbetween we got some fun little moments with Ricky and Bab going on a date and then something horrible happening. It's pretty full and a lot works, but not all.
What I liked: I enjoy Ricky and Babs. I think we get to see outside of the Batgirl suit and that's always a plus for character growth. I also really enjoyed the doll, as he was just super creepy, and his one liners and such were funny as heck. I enjoyed Batgirl not getting over the events of the last volume. What he had to go through with the Joker and then her brother was entertaining and tough. So Glad it's taking the time to show that.
What I didn't like: Knightfall or whatever their name is isn't all that interesting. Infact I find them really over the top and boring. I also didn't like how Gordan was reacting. I get his hatred for batgirl up to a point. He knew his son was a piece of shit, and I get parents love their kids that much, but after the history of his son and then Batgirl I just wasn't buying it.
Still a solid volume for Gail's run. I enjoyed this tiny bit more than 2 but not as much as 3. On to volume 5, the final one, and hope it ends strong!
