Batgirl #30

Batgirl finds herself in a dire situation on Clay Mann's striking cover for this 2014 New 52 entry — a massive, armored predator with a single blazing eye looms over a clearly shaken Barbara Gordon, debris exploding all around them as she struggles to break free from its grip. The cover tagline promises "A New Nightmare" in the form of the Midnight Man, and that threat feels genuinely menacing given the sheer scale and ferocity of the creature bearing down on her. Written by Marguerite Bennett with interior art by Robert Gill, this issue looks like a tense, high-stakes chapter in Barbara's ongoing New 52 adventures.
