BATGIRL #41 (DC Comics)
I liked Batgirl #41 quite a bit. Babs Tarr is nailing layouts and she had a high bar set for her, but I really miss Maris Wicks on colors.
— Mad Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) June 24, 2015
There are a few pages that suffer from odd luminescent lighting and background fills that don't match the series style.
— Mad Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) June 24, 2015
I'd honestly prefer to see the series come out less often with a more consistent look, than have it every four weeks with some assists.
— Mad Magnett (@ReverendMagnett) June 24, 2015
The biggest takeaway from Batgirl #41 though is that Babs Tarr is going to have a place in comics for a very long time. Top notch.

Daredevil #16 has one of my favorite page turns of the year. Samnee is a master.

I suspect I'll be writing yet another piece examining how effectively Samnee and the DD team control the reading experience.

The first six pages of Daredevil #16 are perfect comics. I've read them a few times already today and my jaw drops on page six every time.
