I usually don't read Batgirl, but I love a good wedding issue. Its amazing how real and adult it felt. Usually in a wedding issue, something goes wrong. That something is typically a bad guy attack or something explodes.
Not Batgirl #45. Dick shows up leading to him and Barbara having a serious conversation about their relationship. It's so well done.
This is not one to miss.
Probably the worst Batgirl comic so far.

A good review I found.
Some more reviews:
No issue of Batgirl to date has felt as cohesive and as strikingly on point as #45, a true testament to the team DC Comics has assembled and supported on this title.
This issue may just be one of the best issues of the comic so far.
BATGIRL # 45 tells a logical, well-told emotional story that's only aided by the absolutely sensational artwork.
This creative team has done a lot of great things with Barbara Gordon, but this wedding issue definitely takes the cake.
Everything about this issue was in perfect working order. The creative team, especially Babs Tarr, threw a pretty spectacular comic book wedding full of great character moments, some real heartbreak, and a heck of a lot of charm.

It seems that there is an almost equal amount of good and bad reviews. Critics seem to like it while the average reader doesn't. I think people don't like it because the creative team has taken away a lot of what makes Batgirl Batgirl.
I actually love the new take on Batgirl. I prefer it to Simones for sure, but this issue was just so... bad. Each to his own though.
Not to be argumentative (or maybe "in the spirit of friendly argument"): it is not true that there are an almost equal amount of good and bad reviews for this issue. There are 9 good reviews and 2 bad reviews. If you take the 5 in the middle, I would say 4 probably belong with good and 1 clearly belongs with bad, giving 13 good reviews and 3 bad reviews. Either way, good reviews outweigh the bad more than 4 to 1. Perhaps it is true that critics like it while "the average reader" doesn't, but I don't profess to know what the average reader thinks. It seems to be selling at almost the same level as the critically acclaimed and seemingly universally loved Grayson... Why would a significant number of readers be buying and reading something they don't like? I'm sure I've done this on occasion myself! But I don't really get it.
I was taking the user reviews into account as well. I actually have no opinion on the book as I haven't read it.
