5. Batgirl
Gosh, I love Barbara Gordon. I've loved her since Batgirl: Year One and everything I read about her makes me like her more.
The New 52 Batgirl run started off on a high note with the incredibly talented Gail Simone writing the book. Simone's character work is always fantastic (especially in her DC books like Secret Six) and Batgirl is no exception. Bringing Babs out of her wheelchair bound role as Oracle was a controversial decision, so letting Simone (who'd worked extensively on the character in Birds of Prey) helm the reboot was an incredibly wise decision.
But after Simone's work on the title was done, the book still continued strong under the guidance of Brendon Fletcher, Cameron Stewart, and Babs Tarr. This period, referred to as the "Batgirl of Burnside" period, took the character in a lighter, cartoonier, action-packed direction and I loved every panel of it!
Babs Tarr's art is incredible, to the point where I've started thinking, "Man, I wanna buy that page" at every page of every issue. Batgirl is one of those books that managed to change hands and still be just as great in a completely different way.
