Batgirl #29

Batgirl finds herself caught between loyalty and danger on this striking 2019 cover by Sean Murphy, which shows Barbara Gordon mid-sprint in her yellow-and-grey costume while Commissioner Gordon levels a gun directly at her from behind, police vehicles lighting up the Gotham night in the background. The tagline "In the Crosshairs of Commissioner Gordon!" makes the tension between the two unmistakable — when father and daughter end up on opposite sides of a confrontation, the stakes feel uniquely personal. Mairghread Scott brings this "Art of the Crime" arc to its finale with art from Paul Pelletier, inked by Norm Rapmund and colored by Jordie Bellaire, making this a compelling chapter to have on your shelf.
