    Batgirl #14 Review

    No Caption Provided

    Cover - 5/5

    - Would I pick-up the comic based on the cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the cover portray what happens in the issue?

    Art - 3/5

    - Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

    Color/Ink - 3/5

    - Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening?

    Layout - 5/5

    - Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?

    Story - 5/5

    - Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story arc? How well did the issue further develop the characters?

    Verdict - 4.4

    - What I think: I actually enjoyed the cover art and would definitely pickup it up. Not sure if it was the Art or as another reviewer stated the Ink/Coloring but I was enjoying the art at the start of the issue and toward the end it was like I was reading a totally different comic. I also didn't care for Joker's look compared to what I saw in Batman #14 - Funny Bones; Men of Worship. Overall I enjoyed the story. I am just joining in on DC and therefore never read Killing Time so this was another good read to learn more about what happened and how it effected Barbara and how she has grown. The overall plot was good, and I can't wait for the next issue to see how not only the Joker story plays out but also the plot twist involving her brother.

      Ok, I'm super annoyed with Ed Benes' tendency to significantly overemphasize T&A, and Batgirl's certainly fallen a bit conveniently to show them off.... but otherwise this is a PHENOMENAL cover. The teeth and roses all around Batgirl, and The Joker in an elegant spotlight, it's clear he's meant to have just stabbed her, but he also probably danced a tango with her, and you don't know if he stabbed her before or after that. It's just so great.I'm already not really a fan of Ed Benes' artwork,...
