Batgirl #1

Batgirl surges forward on Adam Hughes's dynamic cover — her flowing red hair, sleek black-and-gold costume, and purple cape framing a confident, fierce expression as a swarm of shadowy bats fills the teal background behind her. This New 52 collection, written by Gail Simone with art by Ardian Syaf and inks by Vicente Cifuentes, brings Barbara Gordon back to the cape and cowl in *The Darkest Reflection*. The New York Times called it a must-buy series, and one look at this cover makes it easy to see why.
