Now there’s a cheery cover! And where this is headed is spelled out on the splash. I continue to be struck by how you get the Todd McFarlane feel from art that’s…

This issue is extra-sized, but the reason is stupid and not related to the story. Somehow, not much of Betty’s life was ever really delved into. She was always too much on…
