thanekosIt's written by Cecil Castellucci, who finished out the most recent Batgirl book.
It's drawn by Marguerite Sauvage, who drew a story in that volume's last issue, #50.
The villain of this story is the villain of that one, the Dick-Tracily-named biotechnician and hacker Vi Ross.
In this story, Barbara combatted Vi's latest efforts in the Gotham neighborhood of Burnside by " [making herself] more mobile. "
( She kitted herself out for a ' test run ' of that paradigm. )

Being the thin-skinned addict of fakey online validation that I am, it’s been strange following the reaction to the new Sandman titles. There’s little of the familiar modes of comment and discourse one expects of a mainstream big-2 title, at either end of the analytical/shrill spectrum. None of the big spikes in engagement and excitement (nor arseholery and abuse) every New-Comicbook-Wednesday.
Rather, the Sandman fandom is a patient, thoughtful bunch who don’t so much declare their views as matriculate them, often over the course of the whole month between issues, or indeed only after the trade has dropped. They’ve taken us in with gradual (and often cautious) enthusiasm, and have - I hope - been rewarded. They’ve certainly been very effusive, in often downright cerebral fashion, about the work.

My contention is that humans are living increasingly disenchanted lives. We’re forgetting the wonders of fiction. People are lurching towards psychic extremes: some veering towards an anodyne sort of rationalism – let’s call it an acceptance of Realpolitik – which essentially amounts to losing the ability to be moved by the unreal. Others are veering towards radicalised religion, which I’d describe as an orthodoxy based on mistreating stories as fact. Both are extremes defined by taking things too fucking literally. -- Si Spurrier

One of the first things I said was, “I want to make sure we're offering something to appeal to somebody who has been watching Riverdale and is interested in picking up the comics while also being true to the established history and legacy of the characters." It's been about finding that balance of the soap opera and darkness of Riverdale contrasted with the kind of wholesome, All-American nature of the classic Archie comics. -- Nick Spencer
