Batgirl: Stephanie Brown Vol. 1 (Batgirl by Bryan Q. Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects the entire first year of Stephanie Brown's run as Batgirl and the multi-story arch, Batgirl Rising which highlight her taking up the Batgirl mantle from Cassandra Cain.

While I don't think she's nearly as interesting a Batgirl as either Cassandra Cain or Barbara Gordon, she does win me over by the end with a combination of dedication and a desire to help people. In addition, Barbara Gordon is a bit of a secondary lead in here. The story was released after Batman Beyond and does have that kind of vibe of her training her successor. However, unlike Bruce in Batman Beyond, she has her own life and storyline.

Overall, this was a well-written book that sold me on a character and a concept I wasn't sure what I'd feel about it. Overall, nicely done.
