I wonder if they are going to have to actually hand this out to the talent working on the title?

Meh, whatever. A lighter tone and no more Simone makes me think there's a chance Batgirl could be good. It sounds a little like the Supergirl title when Kelly Sue Deconnick had her cup of coffee on it.

Looks rather appealing, but I'm with dupont -- I didn't know she was a kid in the New 52. My impression when all that was unveiled was that basically the adult Barbara Gordon had gone from being Oracle to being Batgirl ... though of course I've never really followed the character except for the Stephanie Brown series that ended shortly before the advent of the New 52 stuff, so it's not as if I were exactly taking notes.

I didn't know Batgirl was a kid currently. Looks rather appealing, but I'm with dupont -- I didn't know she was a kid in the New 52. She's currently in her early 20s (I think 22). That art makes her look much younger and I think it's more about the change in tone.

Yeah, she looks like a kid in the art. At least she doesn't look like a sexualized kid, which is what I would have expected before clicking the link.

I just sometimes listen to some very different things, from one spectrum to the other, and sometimes, I get myself in a rut, so to speak, of music that just speaks the same thing or voices the same emotion. Like the last five songs I decided to listen to after hearing the first one on random shuffle.
Random: Main Street -- Bob Segar (easily my favorite song of his, and favorite of music period.)
Choice #1: When You Say Nothing At All -- Allison Krause (beautiful song...I happened to hear a male country singer's version of it in someone else's car and wanted to poke my ear drums till I was deaf)
Choice #2: Alone Again (Naturally) -- Gilbert O'Sullivan (a childhood memory song, when while most of the words escaped me, the melody and the gist of the song were still familiar ... still are to a point)
Choice #3: Always With You Always With Me -- Joe Satriani (easily one of the greatest guitar pieces ever written)
Choice #4: Lightening Field -- Sneaker Pimps (the closest band to the perfection of Portishead ... well with Chris Corner, that other gal not so much)
Choice #5: Swayin To The Music -- Johnny Rivers (this and Main Street are my favorite songs to dance with my wife to)

An associate of my wife's did that design. Personally I'm not a huge fan of that style as I prefer my Batgirl like the depiction she usually has been, a pretty young woman in her early to mid twenties. Of course if she's supposed to be in high school this makes sense. Still, I'm just not a fan of the design or art style in general. She definitely looks more hipster now.

I don't like the hipster influence on the design either. I don't know why DC can't just stick with classic costume designs.

One of my step-grandfather's sons, an insurance executive, crippled, went missing in Omaha and was the subject of a show. No one ever figured out what happened. That sucks. Do you know the name of the son? I'm trying to remember which episode you're referencing. His name was Bob Kenkel.

Every so often one of the CBR blogs has a piece that catches my fancy. Today's The Line is Drawn was one of those.... The Line is DrawnThey asked artists to do a what if scenario involving other creators creating classic characters...so we have a bunch of examples but my two favorite were these... What if Mike Mignola had created Dr. Strange..... and what is H.R. Giger had designed Galactus.... There are a handful of others in the article as well. -M For some reason I never look at that column.
Did Mignola do that piece ? Cool we're finally going to be seeing more Dr Strange. Love the Cthulhu
and Galactus by Axel Medellin...that artist is on the Elephantmen arc I'm reading now. The guy is good, as is the series.

It's not a Mignola piece but artists aping the style of another for the week's topic. A lot of times the column is meh for me, but sometimes it really strikes my fancy, so I usually at least give it a glance to see what's going on.

Did I miss an announcement somewhere? What is the CCF Featured Content Team? You did not miss an announcement. Patience grasshopper. To quote on of my favorite comics writer's standard answer to everything...wait and see. You'll at least need to wait 'til Shax is back from vacation. -M
