Batgirl #24

The "Wanted" arc reaches its second chapter with this tense New 52 installment, and Alex Garner's cover captures the desperation perfectly — a red-haired young woman in a hoodie crouches bloodied on the ground while an armed man in a suit looms large and threatening behind her. Gail Simone, Fernando Pasarin, and Jonathan Glapion bring their considerable talents to "Dragnet," promising high stakes as Barbara Gordon finds herself in the crosshairs. It's a gripping middle chapter that wastes no time reminding readers why this creative team made Batgirl one of DC's most compelling titles in 2013.
