Hey folks, in a few seconds you will see the best (unmasking related) comic cover of humankind. I saw it on Tuesday after work, and my mouth was open for several minutes….
What did I see? Let’s start at the beginning, first there was this cover:

…the brilliant and promising cover for Batgirl Issue 23 that was released last month. After the brilliant cover the comic itself presented nothing great, only the hope for some Batgirl unmasking action in the near future stayed strong.
And now, just 2 days ago the cover art for Batgirl 26 was released….and oh MY GOD! Like I said…I starred at the image on the screen before me and I was….thrilled….and so happy².
Ok, I guess you wanna see what I saw….here it is…the cover for Batgirl 26:

….how much better can it get? Not much…. 🙂 🙂 🙂 . Very close to perfection!
Here’s the link for more infos about the story: Batgirl 26
After the police hunted her for the last issues… Batgirl forced to unmask before her very own father?
The art itself is fucking amazing if you ask me. Batgirl pulling violently on her own mask….streching it…..revealing the face of Barbara Gordon! The look on her face…priceless!
Her biggest secret. And her father doesn’t know about it, it would be so devastating for her…
Now the bad part of the story…the comic will be released on December 11th! ARGGGGGG! NOOOO! Three month to wait…Damn, I have to calm myself. Siggi, be patient!

What do you guys think?
Epic! Covers are often just symbolic. I hope this is not the case 😀
Reminds me of this classic one though:

I think there is a good chance that it will happen. But we may know more after Batgirl 24 (in october).
The art is great but yeah the interior art and actual stories haven’t been so great at all for this series. If Simone actually has Brbara coming out to her father it would be the most interesting the book has ever been
Yeah, does look pretty cool. Can’t wait. I’ll have to wait longer…because I collect the larger format books. (6 comics in one book) I already have the first 2 (12 issues)
Don’t worry, if ANYTHING happens in the comic that is unmasking related, you may see it here 😉
Really like the way they portray the mask. I know that sort of mask wouldn’t provide much protection, etc., etc but dammit that’s the way Batgirl’s mask should come off her face! Definitely part of “my perfect unmaking.”
