Batgirl #1

Part of DC's 2016 Rebirth initiative, this fresh #1 launches "Beyond Burnside" with a cover that radiates momentum and possibility. Batgirl dominates the upper half, red hair flying and fist raised with confident energy, while below her a sword-wielding figure in a schoolgirl outfit, a hooded warrior, and a backpack-toting young woman with tinted glasses hint at the broader cast waiting in the wings. Rafael Albuquerque's linework paired with Dave McCaig's warm, sun-drenched colors gives the whole image a vibrant, globe-trotting feel that makes this an inviting entry point for readers old and new.
