Batgirl #38 is in stores from DC Comics next week, by the creative team of writer Cecil Castellucci and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico. Throughout the weekend and early next week, DC Comics will hand an EX-X-XCLUSIVE preview of this and other comics to one of their compliant media partners, part of the secret quid pro quo system that fuels the click economy that drives the 24-hour comics news cycle.

But we've got one first. You should have seen how quickly one website posted their "exclusive" Justice League preview, twenty minutes after we did yesterday. Hilarious!

Anyway, left for us at a secret drop point in a hermetically-sealed envelope by a Mysterious Benefactor, these first two pages of Batgirl #37 shows Lex Luthor meeting with the new Oracle to offer her his dark gift (which we still maintain sounds oddly sexual). Check out the preview below.
