Batgirl #31

The cover of Batgirl #31 (2002) makes an immediate impression: a white-robed, hooded figure dominates the foreground, holding an eerie mask aloft while dark armored soldiers loom behind her — and the bold "Legion of Doom!" banner leaves no doubt that Batgirl and guest-star Connor Hawke are in serious trouble below, tangling with a swarm of red-armored attackers. Penciled by Damion Scott and inked by Robert Campanella, the composition pulls the eye from that unsettling central figure straight down into the chaotic melee where Batgirl and the son of Green Arrow fight side by side. "The Catafracts" looks like a sharp, kinetic team-up with a genuinely threatening ensemble of enemies surrounding our heroes.
