Batgirl #39

      Every comic dreams about the same thing: coming up with that shocking final page that leaves the reader suffering until the next issue finally arrives to alleviate his or her suffering.

   The truly successful ones are pretty rare. But if you've been following this series, you've been asking some questions - like, what happened to Batgirl? Is this really Batgirl? What's up with Black Canary? Why is Batgirl poor, in college, not in a wheelchair, etc. etc.

   Don't expect any answers quickly - but I'm hopeful that things may happen soon.

   So, no spoilers - but if you like surprises, you'll probably want to pick up this issue.

Grade: A-
