Birds of Prey #22

A red-haired woman in glasses — her expression intent and searching — studies a glowing holographic mask that hovers in the darkness before her, its eerie stylized face casting light across her features. Cover artist Annie Wu frames this quiet, suspenseful moment with striking economy, pairing a warm palette against cool shadows to terrific effect. Part three of the five-part "On the Run" arc, this issue from Kelly Thompson and artist Sami Basri keeps the tension of DC's Birds of Prey series running at full tilt.
