The latest installment of DC's SuperHero Girls series finds the titular team of heroines getting ready for the spring dance, investigating an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs, and puzzling over the mayor's mysterious behavior. While Barbara Gordon tries to fix up her commissioner dad with a date, Lois noses around the lab, uncovering unusual clues about its activities, a connection to the mayor, and a seemingly innocuous program for eager kids. Labat's sleek, candy-colored artwork matches the breezy mood of the story and renders the characters in a style that echoes their classic comic-book origins. Things take a turn when Barbara's scheme collides with the investigation, and Lois finds herself on the trail of a bigger story than she'd ever hoped for. A subplot about journalism's responsibility to hold powerful individuals and organizations in check adds unexpected depth to the somewhat fluffy narrative. With a speedy pace, an episodic structure, and a sunshiny happy ending, this action-packed, girl-powered comic will likely please middle-grade readers who liked Gotham Academy.

Batgirl hits center stage in this new crime caper original graphic novel, DC Super Hero Girls: Date with Disaster!
Catwoman is out alone on the prowl one night when KABOOM—an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs—rouses the other girls from their slumber. Star students Batgirl and Lois Lane both know the lab incident is fishy, and they meet later to share clues. But nothing could've prepared Batgirl for what they see next--Batgirl's dad on a date!
Batgirl is grossed out until her friends convince her Dads get lonely, too. And with the school dance coming up and everyone pairing off--heck, even Principal Waller has a date with a guy named Deadshot--maybe it'll be okay just this once. The girls place a personal ad for Commissioner Gordon while they delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the explosion, but they're about to discover more than who is behind the attack on S.T.A.R. Labs. Could it be that posting an ad looking for dates for the commissioner is like advertising catnip for criminals?
DC Super Hero Girls: Date With Disaster! continues to develop the relationships forged in DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis, Hits and Myths, Summer Olympus, Past Times At Super Hero High and Out of The Bottle. Written by Shea Fontana, this Batgirl-centric story is perfect for girls ages 6-12.
