Batman Beyond #41

Batwoman takes center stage on Dustin Nguyen's striking cover, cape billowing as she swoops through a gleaming futuristic interior toward a figure trapped below in what appears to be a glowing containment pod — and the cover itself poses the urgent question: is she too late? This fifth chapter of "First Flight" delivers the kind of high-stakes tension that the Batman Beyond world does so well, with Dan Jurgens writing and Sean Chen on interiors backed by Sean Parsons' inks and Chris Sotomayor's vivid colors. The whole creative team is firing on all cylinders in 2020, making this an issue that fans of Neo-Gotham's darker, more daring corners won't want to skip.
