And X-Force. Now these are the guys, in Batgirl, who would have made Robocop a much shorter film. Katana gets her… cherry popped? It does get rather Fifty Shades very very quicky in her first comic. Powers: Bureau #1 delivers some rather entertaining Marvel Comics swearing to deserve its mature readers label. And that's how Avengers Assemble does it[...]

We knew that Gail Simone was coming back to Batgirl But what about her artist Ed Benes? He was absent from DC's April solicitations. A few days ago he posted on Facebook; Oi pessoal, hoje eu estou usando esse espaço para, para avisar que estou me afastando dos quadrinhos por um tempo, talvez um ano ou dois[...]

It's a gem, but it should come polybagged, with a MR rating on the cover. MIND THE SPOILERS You've been warned, no more crying in the comments section! THE KILLING VOWS This Batgirl/Joker meeting did NOT go as planned Gail Simone releases a dark streak inside Barbara in BATGIRL #15, that feels both genuine and unsettling. LOSING FACE Ugh, sorry[...]

Not a hoax, Gail Simone returns: DC Comics have now reversed that editor's decision in the wake of considerable online protest and, I'm told, a reluctance to have every single person asking questions during convention season dressed up as Batgirl saying "Where's Gail Simone?"

Gail Simone is the new Batgirl writer. Also NOT A HOAX.

Gail Simone's firing from Batgirl is one reason why: It may have been all in the language – she didn't leave, she was pushed It may have been that circumstances changed If so, it appears that they changed back Either way, I have been informed from all sources that Simone is no longer on the title[...]

They may be delayed because there are… let's go with "issues"…  to sort out. For instance I understand that Batgirl #17 and #18 won't be written by Gail Simone This specifically isn't an indication that Gail is off the book, I have been explicitly told that this is a fill-in writer situation. With Gail Simone's workload at[...]

A chance to reintroduce a host of supervillains to the new DCU, and putting them up against superheroes they may not always have been associated with. Apart from Batman and The Riddler. We've already reported on The Prankster in Nightwing, now I understand we can look forward to the rebooted Ventriloquist and Scarface in Batgirl. Created by Alan[...]

Today, on her message board, Gail Simone replied to the rumours we've been reporting that she may be leaving the Batgirl title. She simply stated; I have not left Batgirl.

Ireland, Israel/Palestine, wings and horns, when it comes down to it, it's all a load of balls.

From what I've heard from friends who enjoy this character's legacy, this dude's a badass, so it only seems fitting to pair him with a cover artist who is equally so.
