Batgirl #37

Batgirl #37 is a tension-packed 2019 entry in DC's "Year of the Villain" event, kicking off "Oracle Rising Part 1" with a cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Cam Smith that immediately sets a foreboding tone. Batgirl stands defiantly against a crumbling brick wall, her arms bound in tattered wrappings, while an enormous shadowy bat-signal looms behind her and a pair of glowing red eyes loom ominously from above — the tagline "Killer Infestation!" making clear she's up against something deeply unsettling. With Cecil Castellucci writing and Carmine Di Giandomenico on art, colored by Jordie Bellaire, this issue looks like a genuinely gripping start to a new chapter.
