Mother Panic #1 Extended Preview

[Godlike13]

This was cool . I like this Mother Panic. She's crude, bitter, and self destructive. I dig it. This i my kind of new character. Plus the art was great.

[millernumber1]

Hmm. I thought it was kind of interesting, but the art (maybe mostly the coloring) didn't work for me. It was hard for me to connect with what was going on. The design and poses are cool, but I don't like the lack of differentiation I felt between the characters and the environment. At least, that was my impression. (It could also be that I'm feeling oversaturated with comics right now - I'm reading way, way more than I usually do).

Violet is interesting and she goes after the upper class.People that Bruce has a blind spot for.I like the art.

This was cool.

I think the Young Animal books' narrative disjointedness is a little annoying because right now I'm more intrigued by the books than invested in em. But hoping each comes together by the end of their respective first arcs. (I hated Cave Carson though.)

On a whole, a really interesting line, and looking forward to some good stuff from this book in particular!

Well, except when he takes on the Court of Owls.

Man, this book really doesn't hold your hand, I can tell. Neither a good nor a bad thing, just a thing.

It was pretty slow-moving, and again, mysterious. Not a whole lot to piece together yet. There's an artist who makes artwork from corpses... I think. Or just uses their blood? She kills people, that's the main point. Violet is after her and one of her associates, out of revenge. Even when she's made aware that these people are hurting children, she doesn't really care, so that's interesting. Also, Violet hates Batman. Any worries I had of her just being a carbon copy of Kate Kane were totally dispelled in this issue.

Intriguing, very intriguing.

I think you've over-simplified things.
When you say "Even when she's made aware that these people are hurting children, she doesn't really care", are you basing that assertion just on the last page of the story, where the (former) bodyguard says something and she responds "I care about having more ammo"? Who's to say that's not just an act to get the information she really needs, but that part of her would also be concerned about children being mistreated? Even if she doesn't do anything about the children immediately, would that mean she doesn't care, or would it maybe mean she doesn't want to rush in right away until she thinks she can actually do something that will actually solve that problem?
Also, I'm assuming the guy (Hemsley) who made the mistake of showing his "artwork" to his (now former) bodyguard is the same as "Fred", the guy who was on the hunting trip with Violet and her father in the flashback? (That scene also sort of explains why there's a deer head on the main cover of issue #1.)

I'm basing that on various interviews I've read describing Violet. Jody Houser has been (I think) pretty clear that Violet is not a nice person. A recent description of her was that there would be a 50/50 chance of her stopping to help someone being mugged if she saw it. She's selfish.

Considering this is a Vertigo book from a line coordinated by Gerard Way, it's not hard to think she is sellfish and maybe her intentions are more obscure than our usual Gotham heroes... any of you guys thought she really looks like Moon Knight?

[seusilva]

And about the murder-art there's a excellent (EXCELLENT) graphic novel about the theme called "Moi, Assasin" in french, from Antonio Altarriba, an spanish writer... I don't think it's translated yet to english.

Or likes of the Black Glove or Rupert Thorne.

Or Mother. If i remember correctly thats how he contacted her.

Considering this is a Vertigo book . . .

It may seem to be a Vertigo book, but the Young Animal line isn't Vertigo.
It will even have connections to what happens in the DC Universe (which I don't believe Vertigo books have had for a while now).
