Bryan Q. Miller deserves to be on this book for as long as he bloody well wants.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm still a little disappointed that there's still no mention of her teaming up with Cassandra at some point. All that other stuff sounds cool, and maybe he just can't say anything about the subject, but that's the teamup I've been waiting for since issue #1, and I'm starting to despair that it just won't happen.

Sounds interesting enough. When this book first came out i had pretty low expectations, but here i am 17 issues later, excitedly looking forward to reading it each month. Books just been a lot of fun

Bryan Q. Miller deserves to be on other books besides this.

Agreed, I'm surprised he hasn't been writing other DC books by now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Miller should write a new Young Justice lead by Damian. He really gets the character and deserves to write him monthly.

I love how no-one who was shrieking about Morrison 'sending Steph off to England' and trampling all over what Miller wanted to do with Steph has admitted they were wrong, since clearly, Miller's happily doing his own thing.

I'm an admitted trade reader, but I thoroughly enjoyed Batgirl Rising, and I can't wait until the trades catch up to the beginning of Nguyen's run as an artist.

I didn't care much for Steph before and I figured with Dustin coming to the title I'd give her another shot since I love his art.

Still can't stand her and I don't see the fuss on why this is a supposedly a good book

If people think a book is good, the odds of them fussing are very low, believe it nor not.

I agree. I mean she can be fun as a supporting character sometimes like back in "Robin" and Cassandra Cain's "Batgirl" but she is just annoying in large doses. I don't get the appeal. I'm told it's a fun and light-hearted book, but I just have not seen it from what I've read. Well I guess I can see how the book is fun and light-hearted but I just can't get past Stephanie's personality to enjoy it.
I love Nguyen's art but I can't justify getting a book that I know I will hate exclusively for awesome art.

To the people who don't like the book, have you read issue #17? It was just so good I can't imagine why people wouldn't like it.

**Mr. Holmes** · 02-04-2011, 02:05 PM

As a fan of Tim Drake's ongoing back when Chuck Dixon was writing it, I really dig Batgirl. It's the spiritual successor to Robin, more so than Red Robin, in that way. I feel they've made Tim too much of a Batman-lite for me to really enjoy him as a character anymore.

Umm...so what's the issue with her personality? Is it too bubbly for you or something?
