"It's good to see Barbara Gordon kicking ass in the cowl again...Ardian's Syaf's artwork is enjoyably dynamic."—io9

DC Comics delivers more excitement with "Batgirl Volume 2: Knightfall Descends." The graphic novel collects issues #0 and 7 through 13 of the monthly title. It's written by series regular Gail Simone and illustrated by Ardian Syaf, Ed Benes, Alitha Martinez, and Vincente Cifuentes.
"Batgirl Volume 2: Knightfall Descends" consists of four different storylines with interweaving subplots. "A Fire in the Heavens" tells the tale of the first time Barbara Gordon donned a costume and embraced her destiny as an agent of the Bat.
"A View from Below" and No Darker Shadow" pits Batgirl against a murderous masked metahuman calling himself Grotesque. He's bent on taking the finer things in life from the rich and privileged of Gotham City for himself.
"In the Line of Fire" puts Batgirl in the middle of the Night of the Owls as she comes face-to-face with a female Talon.
"All Snug in Their Beds," "Heart of Cold Steel," "Every Time I Fall," and "A Blade of Memory" has Batgirl facing down against a foe named Knightfall and her minions. The vengeful angel of death believes it's her mission to cleanse Gotham City's streets of criminals through her own means of capital punishment.
Simone crafts great stories that keep the reader glued to the book all the way to the climactic end. The villains in her tales are well-thought out and each has their own tantalizing characteristics, schemes, and abilities. Although it feels rather "convenient" that the Court of Owls just happen to have a female Talon to do battle with a female super hero, her back-story and the climactic battle that ensues more than make up for this "coincidence."
My favorite of all the storylines is the one featuring Knightfall.
