Joy Operations 2

In Joy Operations 2 (2025–present, Dark Horse), the series expands on its predecessor's world of corporate-controlled superheroics, delving deeper into the ethical and personal costs of a system where joy itself is a managed commodity. With only one issue released so far, the creative team—anchored by writer Brian Michael Bendis—sets the stage for a sharp, satirical take on modern work culture and identity. This sequel matters as a continuation of Bendis's exploration of power and agency, offering a timely, darkly humorous critique of how happiness is packaged and sold.
