Batgirl #49

This 2016 issue of Batgirl arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover by Babs Tarr — a close-up of Batgirl's face, her cowl fragmenting and peeling away amid a swirl of golden marigolds, swirling bats, and glowing geometric constellation lines that suggest a mind under siege. The image feels simultaneously dreamlike and unsettling, perfectly capturing the psychological tension hinted at by the story title "Mindfield." With Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher at the helm and a rich artistic ensemble inside, issue #49 promises a deeply personal chapter for Barbara Gordon.
