Firstly I want to say this review will be rather short due to the fact that I read this like three weeks ago and have been unable to write this till now.
Story: The story to this one is that a killer is on the loose in Gotham, with a heavy trademark of leaving his victims in open places with full body makeup and posed perfectly as human dolls. All of his victims are big name models as well to further perfect his image. Batgirl catches wind of his killings and see's it as a personal vendetta to bring him to justice. Batman ask's her to back off the case but she chooses to avoid his advice due to thinking she may know the killer from her pre-Batgirl life.
Drawing: The drawing in the comic feels like the perfect Batman style. It draws out like a traditional comic that fits into Batmans perfection. Though I was never a big fan of the Batman comic books, This one has the same basic style but seemed to really bring me into it's stylized world.
Color: The color I think is what really brought me into the art style. it was perfect to match the art work and even better for setting the overall dark tone of the book. Sadness and regret. The color pallet makes up of purely dark colors and heavy shadows. None of the colors go to far above a light basing, a single coat of paint, if you agree to that saying.
writing: The writing in the book really would just flow perfectly, you'd never stutter a word in your mind or misunderstand what was going on. You can tell that the Writer wasn't just thinking about the money in terms of greatness. I became interested in this comic over the hand full of other Batman comics I have simple for the writing. it just felt, right.
I give Batgirl: Dream House, a pleasing 4 out of 5, and a reconmendation for you to pick it up.

Very nice review. It makes me want to read. And I'm not a very big fan of comics, although, I might give this one a try.
