|

It's Miracle Molly time! James Tynion IV is quitting Batman in November, in order to focus on his creator-owned line, including his Substack Comics, The Blue Book, and The Department Of Truth: Wild Fictions. He is also using his Substack subscription to talk about his many frustrations working for DC Comcis (and the good stuff too, of course). But is he also using his comic books as well? Today sees the publication of Batman Secret Files: Miracle Molly, starring the character he created for the main Batman series and revealing the origin of his anarchist technomage, with artist Dani. And it's hard to read it as anything but. We have Mary Kowalski, working for Helios Robotics as a junior engineer, unappreciated in her role.
