Mother Panic: Gotham A.D.
by Jody Houser
Mother Panic jumps into a future...we've seen this a million times. However, luckily, Mother Panic does a awesome job of it.
After the strange events of Milk Wars, we have our favorite super "don't give a fuck" hero taking down villains in a even worse Gotham than present day. Reminding me of Robocop like Detroit, this Gotham is overrun with crime even more than usual, and Mother Panic here decides to recruit her sidekick in battling the evils of this world. When a new group of maniacs come around, taking down some of the most fearful villains ever (including even the joker) things get dicey for our hero when there might be a hero-turned-bad who comes into play in this futuristic Gotham.
Good: The art is solid throughout, throwing some really cool fight scenes, and sick designs on some characters. I also love the way Jody writes everyone here, all feeling like real people, living in a crazy superhero world. I also thought the pacing was quick and fun, giving us enough world building to be invested but giving us character moments to care. The ending is satisfying even if it is the end (for now).
Bad: Sometimes the storytelling can go a little wonky and character motives don't make sense a bit too often at times.
Overall, very very fun. I want more. I really enjoyed the 2nd half of Mother Panic series and it's a shame it's coming to a end. Jody Houser did a great job of creating a new hero. Give me more please! A 4 out of 5.
