Batgirl (2016-) Vol. 3: Summer of Lies Kindle & comiXology

From the Eisner and Ignatz award-winning author Hope Larson comes the next chapter for Gotham vigilante, Batgirl!

 Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson are a very different kind of Dynamic Duo. No matter how far apart their careers as Batgirl and Nightwing take them, they always seem to be drawn back together. But the true nature of their undeniable feelings for each other is a mystery even these world-class crime-fighters can’t crack.

 They’d better figure it out fast, because when a deadly villain from their past resurfaces, the star-crossed superheroes are forced to remember a time they’d like to forget. And once they realize that they’re caught in a trap years in the making, it may be too late for either of them to escape with their lives, let alone their hearts.

 Can Barbara and Dick defeat the powerful enemy behind it all? Or will this case be their last dance? Find out in BATGIRL VOL. 3: SUMMER OF LIES Featuring art by Chris Wildgoose, Eleonora Carlini and Inaki Miranda and guest-starring Catwoman and the Mad Hatter.

The summer of lies is a great story worthy of a cartoon adaptation. However the first two standalone stories accompanying it are just okay

This comic storyline highlights the hero life is not always black and white. These heroes experience trauma and have to deal with the aftermath of those they could not save.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I Was Trying to Do the Right Thing..."
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019
The third volume of Hope Larson's Batgirl run actually includes three separate stories, though the last is the longest and definitely the best. They're a nice mix of Barbara Gordon tackling old school villainy and more contemporary issues,

In "Troubled Waters" Barbara is investigating a haunted public swimming pool, in which several swimmers have seen a strange purple energy. Along with the over-enthusiastic host of a ghost hunting reality show. It's a short but fun tale that is totally lifted from Fred's backstory on season three of "Angel", but also showcases Barbara's intelligence and mystery-solving skills.

"The Truth About Bats and Dogs" has Batgirl team up with a little girl called Esme (not as bad as it sounds) and Catwoman to investigate the disappearance of several cats and dogs in the neighbourhood. This is probably the weakest story of the three, with a silly villain that has equally silly motivation, and not enough exploration of the Batgirl/Catwoman dynamic.

Finally, "Summer of Lies" involves Batgirl and Nightwing looking into a series of bizarre drug-related occurances after they're each lured to a rooftop to watch two young women take their own lives. Realizing that they bore a strange resemblance to a woman called "Ainsley", the two begin to investigate.

A nice sense of mystery is build up around this, with Barbara saying "I never told anyone else about that summer," and flashbacks filling us in on what exactly happened back when they were still teenagers. It's a great look at the relationship between Barbara and Dick, their ongoing flirtation, friendship and ability to work as a team, and ends on a surprisingly poignant note.

There's a strong sense of community throughout these issues, with Barbara not only calling on the assistance of other vigilantes, but people who contribute to society in other, equally important ways. It makes you feel as though Burnside is a place worth fighting for, despite all its flaws.

The artwork and colouring is also very good, finding the right combination of realism and splashy comic style. A nice touch was the difference in Batgirl's costume between the flashbacks and the present-day story: as a teenager she wore grey and yellow, as an adult she wears purple.

Another fun read - not particularly deep, but diverting and enjoyable.

Quel PLAISIR ! Ainsi retrouver un des meilleurs duos de comic books, Barbara et Dick ou Batgirl et Nightwing !
On commence avec 2 petites histoires annexes, très sympas sans rien révolutionner, l'histoire principale elle est quasi parfaite, un savoureux mélange de romance entre nos 2 tourtereaux et une histoire de drogue et d'addiction finalement plus mature qu'il n'y parait !

La simplicité scénaristique quand on l'analyse de plus près fait sa force, on tourne sur 4 personnages max, Barbara, Dick, Ainsley et la Red Queen (alors rajoutons le chapelier fou), le tout se forme sous une enquête plus surprenante que prévu. La vraie force de cette bd repose sur le duo Batgirl/Nightwing qui joue ENFIN sur la carte de la romance entre eux, Dick vient de perdre Shawn et Barbara prend les choses en main. Cela fait partie du charme de ses personnages qui se tournent constamment ensemble depuis qu'ils se connaissent, je suis très heureux d'avoir un soupçon de ce couple, même si l'on sait qu'ils ne les mettront jamais vraiment ensemble.

La menace elle, est crédible ! Satisfaisante même car le thème de la drogues chez les jeunes est abordé et franchement c'est suffisamment mature pour être saisissant... Le combat final est un poil rapide voir facile mais ça ne nuit en rien au plaisir de lecture, l'enquête était finalement le but, une enquête pour remettre le couple Bat/Wing sur les rails.

La bd est parfaitement ryhtmé, la mise en page est folle de clarté et les dessins sans être extrêmement détaillés mettent parfaitement l'histoire en relief. Cette Batgirl, qui n'est pas au goût de tout le monde, j'en conviens, moi me plait énormément, un bol d'air frais dans le Bat-Univers si sombre. J'ai déjà hâte de voir où le volume 4 m'emmènera !
