USUALLY PLAYING second string to her best friend Jinx Holliday, Danni Malloy takes centre stage in this month's Chilling Adventures Presents... Strange Science.
"Make no doubt about it, Danni is absolutely our hero here," editor Jamie Rotante tells Red Alert. "But she's also a kid, so she's going to hit some bumps in the road. Thankfully, just as she's been by Jinx's side in her demonic misadventures, so too does Jinx journey along with Danni."
Written by Magdalene Visaggio, who has previously written the duo in several titles including the recent Jinx: A Cursed Life, the 32-pager reveals that Danni is transgender. "This was an idea Mags has been considering for some time, but it just came down to finding the right way to make it work," explains Rotante. "Once Mags was given the note to make it a sci-fi horror, she came back with a pitch so perfect that we wanted to make sure we got moving on it ASAP.
"The idea was this was never going to be an after-school special; this was always supposed to be story-driven first, with a main character who happens to be trans."
