Batgirl, Vol. 6: Old Enemies by Mairghread Scott
4.0

Wow I'm surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did.

This is basically one major story arc, then a small one, and then a two parter. The first one is a bit political, but hold your horses before you start screaming, it's done pretty well. Babs is working with the woman trying to change the city from the inside, while having to be against the police. It's actually pretty interesting how Babs deals with her father here. The one single shot issue deals with James and him getting out of prison. If don't know why or how check out the Batman who Laughs mini. Then last one is Babs dealing with getting kidnapped and escaping.

Overall, this feels just fun. It's not mindblowing but it remains fun through the whole volume and that matters. I was never bored, I enjoyed her adventures, and I actually liked the fight scenes here. Some of the art was off at points and nothing major changed, but the stuff with James was great. A 3.5 out of 5, I'll bump it to a 4.
