the art on that looks fantastic, like a cross between frank miller and bill sinkiewicz.
It’s a shame that DC has decided to demote the hell out of Cyborg because I would love to see him and Miracle Molly meet.
Could still happen. Bruce actually mentions Vic in Batman this week.

I found this issue surprisingly powerful - Mary/Molly's choices were tragic no matter what, and I felt really bad for her and the family she left.

I thought the art was awful. The story was not bad, though they really beat home her unsatisfaction with her life over and over.

I liked the art and the start of the story (bored regular person) but the catalyst for change was weak, her seeing "Molly" is hackneyed and the half-assed "how" of her becoming unleashed potential/powered villain wrap up was really weak.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
I would've liked to have seen Mary before she started listening to The Unsanity Collective, felt like she was becoming more and more withdrawn the longer she spent listening to them. I've seen comparisons between Mary and Selina Kyle in Batman Returns, glad to see I wasn't the only one who saw that.
I'm currently reading Batman, Detective Comics, DCeased: Dead Planet, Dark Knights: Death Metal, Daredevil, Thor, Nightwing, The Rise of Ultraman and Red Hood and The Outlaws. I'm also trade-waiting the Hickman-era of X-Men comics.
