Probably my favorite volume of Mother Panic, but a pretty disappointing finale. Violet finds herself flung into an alternate future after Milk Wars and fights against a Gotham City controlled and gentrified by Madame Gala. So why is this my favorite volume? For starters, Houser's dialogue is better. Violet isn't constantly spouting expletives and seeing her relationship with both versions of her mom helped her feel like a human being worth caring about. I've become a bit of a fan of Mrs. Paige too since I've learned more about her as a character and what she brings to the table. Violet gets revenge on her brother this volume, but it's not *her* brother. Just this future's version of him. So while it's cool to see Violet finally confront him, the result just feels empty. It's an interesting choice having Violet decide to stay in this future, but it still feels like this was not the intended ending for the character and keeps her isolated from the rest of the DC universe. There's way more stories to tell with Violet Paige and I hope one day shes reintegrated back into the main universe.
