Batwoman #12

Batwoman lunges into action on this visually striking New 52 cover by J. H. Williams III, her red hair blazing as a vivid serpent coils around her black-and-red costume — while a terrified blonde figure and a grinning, blood-streaked face loom in a fragmented mirror-like reflection to the right. The bold star motifs anchoring the composition hint at a team-up dynamic worthy of the story title "World's Finest I: Blood Tides." Williams III's fluid, painterly linework and Dave Stewart's rich colors make this 2012 issue a genuinely eye-catching entry in Batwoman's New 52 run.
