In "Mimsy Were the Borogoves," the Mad Hatter's latest scheme takes a chilling turn when he abducts Dr. Kirk Langstrom, the Man-Bat, dragging the unstable scientist into a twisted game that threatens to reshape Gotham itself. Written by Brian Vaughan and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Rick Burchett, this issue dives into the mind of a villain whose madness is as precise as it is dangerous. The cover, a striking piece by Tim Sale, captures the eerie tension of a city on the edge.
