Batgirls #17

The cover of Batgirls #17 poses a sharp question — "Who Watches the Batgirls?" — as a looming Batgirl in full cape and cowl stands center stage, flanked above by a red-haired figure in glasses and below by a hooded, masked blonde in purple, all set against a dramatic clockface backdrop. Jorge Corona's cover composition gives the trio a striking sense of tension and hierarchy, hinting that someone — or something — has these heroes in its sights. With Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad kicking off "From Hell's Heart Part 1" alongside artist Robbi Rodriguez and colorist Rico Renzi, this issue looks like a genuinely compelling start to a new chapter for Gotham's bat-suited duo.
