Batgirl #8

Batgirl has now confronted her guilt about being able to walk after so many people in her situation are not and her hatred towards the man who simply looked on while the Joker shot her.  Is that it for the confrontations about something that's happened in the past and maybe she could look forward to the future?  Maybe?

Things I liked: complaints about the subject matter aside, I did really enjoy the way this story read.  Simone has a talent for dialogue, including the dialogue boxes and thought balloons.  This is probably one of the wordier books that I read but it doesn't get in the way of the action.

Things I didn't like: while Batgirl was confronting the man who looked on while the Joker shot her, she was letting him bleed to death from a gunshot wound.  And revealing her secret identity.  I hope the ambulance was just really late in getting there.
