Comparing The Uncorrected And Corrected Batgirl #35 Previews

The AV Club have run an "exclusive" preview of Batgirl #35. Exclusive in that it has fewer pages than ours from a few weeks ago – and they don't have big DC COMICS lettering slapped across it I suppose.

But the two do seem very familiar. So here's a small look at some of the minor changes between uncorrected preview and… corrected preview.

The phone number of the moving team…

…has become slightly more fictional.

I have '555' in my home phone number. So, I guess, that means I'm fictional too.

Other amends include minor balloon placement…

Blurred lives…

And colour amends.

But it's very minor and it's still the same comic. As one female comic creator criticised it to me,

Cam and the other dude writer have Batgirl getting blackout drunk, almost fucking a dude, and it all being played for laughs/totes OK within about 2 pages of the book

Which… I don't know, as in a) That's not what I read and b) They are painting a very human Barbara Gordon who makes the kind of mistakes that people make.

But it does make the point that, despite the cartoonier look, and the lighter brighter tone, this is not Batgirl in Riverdale. The comic is still as mature a book as the previous iteration of Batgirl was and is probably still not suitable for six year olds.

Though six year olds are more likely to want to read it, given Babs' immensely appealing artwork.
