Mother Panic: Gotham A.D. (2018) #1

Mother Panic (Single Issues) #13

by Jody Houser, Tommy Lee Edwards (Cover Art), Paulina Ganucheau (Penciller)

After the fallout of MILK WARS, Violet Paige finds herself in a Gotham City unlike any we have seen before. Ten years into the future, in a world without a Batman, Gotham City has been taken over by the Collective, with Gala acting as Head of Citystate. In a high-tech town with zero tolerance toward caped crusaders and masked vigilantes (except for those designed by Gala and her association of aristocratic artisans), what’s a woman who has vowed vengeance to do? And what’s happened to her mother, Rebecca Paige? Perhaps The Joker, now a sad clown who makes balloon toys shaped like tommy guns and machetes on the abandoned Gotham docks, has the answers. Find out for yourself as Mother Panic returns to a different Bat-time, different Bat-channel.

Interesting first issue, had a bit of a Dark Knight Returns vibe! My only question is this the future, alternate timeline, another earth? Not too clear on that yet.

The art is so cool. Love the gorgeous contrast of the white costume against the coloured background and how the text boxes stand out. I also liked the rhyming bits of dialogue.

Story wise, I didn't know anything going into it, so I don't think I shall continue. It's not bad or anything though, but I'm not invested in this character that I don't know anything about, which makes this difficult to rate. I'll give it 3 stars, mostly for the art and the nice dialogue bits.

Not bad but not really something I plan on following.
