Batgirl #10

Batgirl finds herself at the center of a harrowing siege on this July 2010 cover, her masked face caught mid-shout as a horde of glassy-eyed techno-zombies presses in from every direction, grasping hands reaching toward her from the rain-soaked darkness. Stanley Lau's cover art captures the desperation of the moment with moody blue tones and real intensity, teasing Part Two of "The Flood" — a four-part arc that suggests Stephanie Brown's tenure as Batgirl is anything but a quiet patrol. With Bryan Q. Miller writing and Lee Garbett and Pere Pérez on interior art, this issue delivers on the promise of its gleefully pulpy "Dawn of the Dead — Technically" banner.
