A young Barbara Gordon is trying to save her family from the horrible disaster that is affecting Gotham but does she have what it takes to be such hero?
First of all you must know that this issue is not written by the ongoing writer Gail Simone but instead she's being replaced this month by Marguerite Bennett and based on the strenght of her work here I would consider it a downgrade to go back to Simone.
For one, I'm not exactly a fa of Bennett's writing since she's new to the industry, she has only released two works a Batman Annual co-written along Scott Snyder which was quite good and a Lobo issue in Villains Month which was truly underwhelming, I didn't know what to expect from her on this issue.
However, she not only exceeded expectations but she also delivered one of the best issues from this series. Bennett's portrayal of Barbara Gordon is not as fan-wanky in comparison to Simone's and her narration is much more adequate without the usual Simone's quirks that can get a bit annoying at times. The story has also interesting twist and automatically makes you care about the protagonist.
Fernando Pasarin continues his excellent work on this series that is expressive when it needs to be and tells the story perfectly.
Excellent issue. I'm getting more and more interested in Bennett.
