Batgirl #42

Batgirl faces a high-voltage threat in this September 2015 issue, with the cover by Cameron Stewart depicting a crackling, white-haired Livewire looming triumphantly above a crouching Batgirl, bolts of electricity blazing across the entire composition. The tagline says it all — Burnside gets shocked by Livewire — and the dynamic between a grinning, empowered villain and a Batgirl who looks ready to fight back sets up a genuinely charged confrontation. Stewart, Fletcher, Tarr, and LaPointe bring their sharp, kinetic energy to this run, making issue #42 a standout entry in one of DC's most visually lively series of 2015.
