Batgirl #22

Crunch Time!" indeed — Batgirl's cover for January 2002 captures her in full combat mode, simultaneously sending a heavyset brawler flying while tangling with a second opponent in green, all rendered with Damion Scott and Robert Campanella's kinetic, street-level energy. The bold orange circle behind her silhouette gives the chaotic brawl a graphic punch that perfectly suits Kelley Puckett's action-driven run on the title. If you like your heroes outnumbered but unfazed, this issue's cover makes a compelling case.
