Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I decided that I wasn't going to meet my PDF goal - mostly because I wanted to read Readercon books.   Lately, I haven't been able to focus on much, and my insistence on reading something, anything, has to do with getting myself out of my funk.   More than usual, I'm allowing myself to flake and mood read as much as I want.   When this came up on sale, I decided I wanted to read this.  I ended up getting some Black Canary with the rest of my Apple settlement money, too - and yes, it lasted this long.   

I also got a Fran Wilde audiobook - Updraft - for four bucks, so that might be my main audio read for a while because love, love, love her shorter work so far.   

Anyway, Babs called to me, and I've already started the next issue.   This does a lot with her father, who confesses he's the new armored Batman.   Sanctified by the police department, he's going to take down vigilantes.  She almost tells him she's Batgirl and doesn't. 

And then that comes back to bite her in the ass in the worst of ways.   Of course it does.   The art is slick, the writing moves this along nicely, including a plot with Livewire, and uses Babs' personal life - her father, and her roommate who knows about her secret life - to get in some nice character development before the fighting scenes.   

Lovely, full, this series gives me everything I want.   And again, I love that Babs' isn't just a fighter.   She in fact looks for other solutions if possible, and I love her for that, and for her big heart.   Love, love, love. 

I needed this right now.   This cheered me up immensely.
