Mother Panic Vol. 1: A Work in Progress
Mother Panic Vol. 1: A Work in Progress | Jody Houser
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
As part of the new DC's Young Animal imprint, a bold new take on the world of the Batman comes from writer Jody Houser, artists Tommy Lee Edwards and Shawn Crystal and DC's Young Animal mastermind Gerard Way--MOTHER PANIC VOL. 1: A WORK IN PROGRESS. The shadow of the Bat falls over all of Gotham City, from its dark alleys to its glittering high-rises. But a new vigilante has just stepped away from that shadow, and she has her own brand of violent retribution to deal out to the city's corrupt elites. Meet Violet Paige, a rich young celebutante with a bad attitude and a worse reputation. No one would ever suspect that this tabloid-fodder wild child has a secret hidden beneath her spoiled heiress exterior--a secret that has driven her to become the terrifying force of vengeance against her privileged peers known as Mother Panic! But even as Violet launches her all-out assault on the rich and twisted, her shaky allies threaten to betray her, and every one of Gotham's guardians--from Batwoman to the Dark Knight himself--is hot on her trail. Will Mother Panic continue to strike terror into her enemies' hearts? Or will her violent quest for justice reach an equally violent end? Collects MOTHER PANIC VOL. 1: A WORK IN PROGRESS #1-6.

Mehso-so

A great idea that gets weighed down by a bog-standard gritty vigilante story and a bad fill-in artist. The parts about the vapid 21st century cruelty of Gotham‘s hipster class is often brilliant; the rest could use some work. And the backups are particularly rough, to me.

Still, there are definitely small flashes of worldbuilding brilliance here. Wish it got to do more of that.

“Superhero women drinking coffee” is my new aesthetic. (Pendant top left is mine, newly acquired at Emerald City Comicon, made by the author of Mother Panic herself, and serving as a warning to those around me). #bleedcaffeine #isthisweekoveryet

It was a good day at the comic book store! Finally got to go pick up my new issue of Bitch Planet and the first trade of Mother Panic. Really loving what DC's Young Animal is serving up! (Right, @RavenRenegade ?)
