Every single time I open a comic I hope for the best. Trust me, I don't ever want to READ a bad book. So when I opened the newest Batgirl I had some hope but my expectations were super low after hating the first volume. I actually skipped volume 2 but figured I wouldn't miss much. So I jumped right into volume 3 and...WHOA! This was SUPER fun!

So what's Batgirl up to lately? The first two issues are fun small little self contained stories. One focusing on Batgirl helping figure out what happened to a missing girl who joined a swim team. Then we have another small story of Batgirl helping a little girl finding her doggie. Or famous doggie actually from Instagram. Then the main story comes into play which focuses on Nightwing and Batgirl tracking down a old enemy (or so they think) and at the same time getting flashbacks of their first adventures together and falling in love.

Good: I loved everything with Teen Barbara and Dick. They grew up fighting crime together, and of course starting falling for each other. So seeing that wasn't only cute but well done. Then we have them tackling more adult issues, especially after lately what Dick has been through and how he's adjusting to life with his girlfriend. This is pretty damn fun too. I also really enjoyed the storyline and the "villain" even if it was more of a backdrop to the love story here. Oh and the single issue of Batgirl helping the girl find the dog was super cute.

Bad: The very first issue was pretty crappy. It felt honky and campy and not in a good way. I mean did we need to find out why a girl is electricity and trapped inside a pool? Besides few funny moments this was meh.

Overall, SUPER big surprise. This is going to make me go back to volume 2 AND read volume 4. Batgirl just jumped up for me into the "gotta read" section from coming from "Super crappy" at the start. Nice job Hope!
