Batgirl #12

Batgirl stands battle-worn and rain-soaked on this striking Artgerm cover — her black-and-gold bat-symbol costume torn, her purple cape trailing behind her, and a guarded, watchful expression beneath the cowl that hints at a hero who's been through the wringer. "The Flood, Part Four of Four" promises a climactic chapter from Bryan Q. Miller's run, with interior art from Lee Garbett, Pere Pérez, and Walden Wong bringing the story home. It's a compelling snapshot of Stephanie Brown's Batgirl at her most tested, and a satisfying issue to have in any DC collection.
