Batgirl Vol. 3 #1-14 (Ongoing, Update)

This is a compilation of the ongoing Batgirlnow Volume 3 in library termsfrom issues #1 through #14, all high-quality MInutemen scans. The new Batgirl is part of the Batman: Reborn series of titles launched after DC Comics' successful Battle for the Cowl crossover event. Some might consider Batgirl a bit lighthearted in tone compared to the rest of the current titles of the Batman family but somehow I like it that way. This comic doesn't take itself too seriously, unlike the over-bearing, the-darker-the-tone-the-better approach taken by other creative teams in the Batman family comic books. That's why I like Power Girl, too.
Quoting from the DC Comics database:
Batgirl is one of Batman's side-kicks and a member of the Batman Family similar to Robin. She patrols Gotham City fighting crime using her mastery of the martial arts, her wits, and an arsenal of high-tech gadgets. There have been several women to take the position over the years.

The original Batgirl during the Silver Age was Betty Kane, produced along with a character named Batwoman as love interests in response to accusations that Batman and Robin were homosexuals. This was later removed from continuity, and the character was reintroduced under the alias Flamebird. The most well-recognized Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, niece of Commissioner Gordon, and the original in modern continuity. She was Batgirl for many years until the Joker shot her through the spine during Killing Joke and paralyzed for her life. Barbara still fights crime from her wheel-chair as Oracle, an international super-hacker and invaluable computers expert for heroes everywhere. Helena Bertinelli, better known as Huntress, took the position during No Man's Land but later relinquished it. Cassandra Cain, daughter of the assassin David Cain and one of the world's greatest physical combatants, became the next Batgirl while seeking redemption for her father's crimes. She was manipulated into going rogue by Deathstroke and taking control of the League of Assassins, giving up the cowl after she had recovered from her mental breakdown. The teleporter Misfit briefly called herself Batgirl when she started her vigilante career on the streets, although she changed her name after she was taken in by the Birds of Prey. Stephanie Brown, originally known as Spoiler and a former Robin, is the current Batgirl.
