Last issue Stephanie got shot while she was trying to help her friend, Fernando Garcia . . son of real-estate mogul Stefano Garcia. There were some fires at some of his holding in Devil's Square, and Steph could tell that Fernando maybe had some idea of what was going on. So . . she was following him. When she sees him at a diner, she decides to go in and try to get some information. Unfortunately, that was at the same time that someone decided to abduct him. In the melee that ensued, Stephanie was grazed by a bullet. After escaping from the ambulance ride, Stephanie wants to figure out who took and friend and why. That's when she crosses paths with Batman & Robin. Long story short, Batman disciplines them both, and takes them both off the case. While they're cooling their heels, Stephanie comes up with a plan. She doesn't want Damian to try to stop her, so she invites him along. She decides to go and interrogate Fernando's girlfriend, Jordanna Spence. The problem is, Jordanna knows Stephanie, so she's afraid that she may unwittingly give away her identity. Anyways, they find out that Stefano is a serious gambler. And as with any gambler, sometimes he wins, and sometimes he losses. To cover a recent loss, he abducts his own son in order to bring Batman into Devil's Square. Once there . . Roulette has a gauntlet set up for him. In order to get out of this, Batman's going to have to get past Freddie 'Riot' Frankenstein, Roxanne 'Rocket' Sutton, and Dr Phosphorus. They've already caused his new Bat-Mobile to crash, and now they're coming after him personally. Jordanna shows Batgirl and Robin what's happening on the internet, just as Oracle discovers the same information. I think Bryan Q Miller is doing a pretty decent job with this series. I really like the way that he's got Stephanie and Barbara's characters working together. It's kind of a love/hate relationship. And he seems to be building on their teamwork with every issue. I also like Lee Garbett's style of art in this series. It's got kind of a raw kind of feel to it. Which I think fits perfectly. I know we're only on issue #6, but I really hope that this series lasts longer than the last. I really enjoy the Batgirl character. No matter who's under the cowl. I do hope though that we find out soon what's up with Cassandra. I miss her.
