A very enjoyable comic. Who is Bombshell? What is going to happen to Stephanie's father? Can't wait to read more comics with Batgirl!!!

More Batgirl fun, but I have the sneaking suspicion that this book series is about to be canceled.

This was the era of DC I truly enjoy. Stephanie Brown was a poor choice as Robin, but made up for it as Batgirl. Bryan Q. Miller’s writing made Batgirl quirky & fun with self-deprecating humour that has become Stephanie Brown’s trademark. The art in this book was beautiful regardless of artist (Dustin Nguyen, Pere Perez, Ramon Bachs, & Derek Fridolfs). If I remember correctly this was the end of the series, which was unfortunate.

Honestly, Stephanie Brown as Batgirl felt like the most righteous thing DC had ever done to her character. We have an amazing well-rounded girl like Stephanie who isn't afraid of making mistakes because she knows she's going to fix them. We have a girl who's so courageous even in the face of extreme adversity but still manages to have a good punchline in her head before improvising her way out. And most of all we have someone who's just so entirely normal. She's juggling college, has these run i...

Spoiler was never really a great hero name, but then again, it made sense in context.With the ever-fun Stephanie Brown stepping into the purple&black bat cosplay, she seemed like a less egotistical Darkwing Duck (with the actual Darkwing Duck mannerisms falling to Damien...bloody hilarious!) and would have been a fine addition to the Batfamily...if only if only...

GOD, WHY IS THIS SERIES SO AWESOME?! AND HOW/WHEN DID I GIVE IT FULL CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS?! AND AND AND WHY DID IT DECIDE TO GO TO A THEME PARK WHEN IT WAS IN CONTROL OF SUCH A PRECIOUS PAYLOAD?!?!Alrighties, clearly I have had too much caffeine. The sane version of that convoluted intro was more or less: "Wow, this most recent read from The Batgirl series really took my emotions for a ride. The writing is so very clever, and I don't even know when I fell in love with these characters, all I...

she is so good to me.

Poor Steph. This is her last outing as Batgirl, and her best. She was just so good in the part, and it's a shame she got bumped. I'm grateful to Miller for a very good run, and for giving Steph the best possible farewell. I especially liked the issue guest-starring Squire, and for the guest appearances by most of DC's young female heroes towards the end. I love Babs, but I miss Stephanie already.

Stephanie Brown is easily the most underrated woman in the DC Universe, I love her

Batgirl: The Lesson picks up where the previous volume left off, collecting eight issues (Batgirl #15–22) of the 2009 on-going series and contains three storylines: "The Lessons", "Chalk ♥ Outline", and "Five Minute Fast"."The Lesson" is a six-issue storyline (Batgirl #15–17, 19–21), which has Stephanie Brown starting her second semester at Gotham University with new classes, new allies and a vigilante stalker to top it off. However, what Gotham City's Batgirl isn't prepared for is the arrival o...

Super big fun. I love Miller's writing on this book, along with Ngyuen's art. Together they have created an accessible character that is all her own without the heavy hand of Batman in the foreground. Miller tries to sell the book on Batgirl alone and I bought it with no problem.

The Lesson collects the final issues of Bryan Q Miller's Batgirl run, before being cancelled and replaced with the New 52.Stephanie Brown is growing up. She's at uni. She is finally gaining some independence and growing away from needing Oracle to do everything.Miller has done an amazing job of capturing the essence of a young person doing the best they can, in a job dominated by the super powered and super intelligent. She has doubts. She stumbles on more than one occasion. But I think what mak...

This series ended kind of abruptly, but it had a lot of good parts. I didn't even mind all of the filler issues.The Lesson lasted just about this entire volume and I'm not entirely sure it had the climax it was meant to. I don't know the history of this series, but I'm thinking they were given maybe 3-4 issues to wrap things up. Some wrapped nicely and others...not so nicely.Still, it wasn't a bad ending to the series, just not a stellar one.

Far more like it - the art is occasionally a bit hit and mess, but I would far prefer to see someone trying to be Frank Quitely than someone trying to be Rob Liefeld like in that Titans tosh from yesterday. Nicely written too - it’s refreshing to see a writer kind of be aware of their limitations and instead of heading for cliche (again see Titans), head for something reasonably straightforward and low level threat (it’s very telling the worst issue here is the London one - Miller is good at tak...

In this third and final volume of Bryan Miller's Batgirl comics, Stephanie is mostly alone as Batgirl, with Oracle and Proxy both busy with other things/their life. Stephanie's secret identity as Batgirl and her history with her parents comes into play here, and we also get to see "girl power" as Stephanie is not afraid to call on her superfriends for help. She's come quite a ways from the first volume, when she didn't even want Oracle's help. Since this run of Batgirl was cancelled before the f...

Fractured and hampered by tie ins and the coming of the New 52, but Steph still shines through.It's sad, when they announced the New 52 I was happy and sad at the same time, I wanted a hard reboot I thought that's what we were going to get (but we didn't) but it also meant that it was logical that a lot of the baggage good and bad of the DCU would be gone, and Steph was on that chopping block. This is her swan song and thought it is flawed there are some real gems in this final collection.World:...

Aww I really loved this series. Great characters, great premise, everything (except for villains. Up until the very last issue, they were bland and forgettable). I've read a fair amount of Barbara-as-Batgirl, a little bit of Cassandra-as-Batgirl, and now this series, and I have to say Stephanie is by far my favorite Batgirl.

Damian-Steph team is hilarious.

This trade collects issues 15-24 of Brian Q. Miller's Batgirl series.Here we have the end of Miller's Batgirl, one of the most unfortunate casualties of DC's New 52. For those unaware, DC cancelled all of their titles in August 2011 and launched 52 new titles, with a lot of rebooting and retconning. Barbara Gordon was given the Batgirl mantle back, leaving no room for Stephanie Brown for the moment.But to focus on the positive, this volume continues to achieve the high standards of story and art...

Vol. 3 marks the end run of Stephanie Brown as Batgirl. It's a satisfying conclusion to Steph's (too-short) journey as the "Violet Avenger". If you've followed Steph's long and sometimes convoluted journey from estranged daughter of third-rate villain Cluemaster to minor sidekick as Spoiler and her short stint as Robin, Miller's work on Batgirl is a treat.Stephanie has come into her own as Batgirl in this final volume. She may have been impulsive in Vol. 1 (Batgirl Rising) and still hesitant in
