Batgirl #38 Review

This Year of the Villain tie-in issue works a lot better as an installment of the regular Batgirl series than last month’s did, with more of a focus on Barbara’s day to day life and her struggles with her dual identity. It also gave the book’s new creative team more of a chance to shine.

Carmine Di Giandomenico’s artwork continues to impress, particularly in some of the fun design details for Killer Moth and Batgirl herself. The sort of stitched together design for Batgirl shows just how down and out our heroine is, but also that she doesn’t give up, literally piecing together a suit from the remains of all her other fried costumes. It’s a neat look that will be fun to see carry through this arc.
