Mother Panic infiltrates Arkham Asylum in this exclusive preview
DC’s Young Animal imprint has been responsible for some of the most interesting, off-kilter superhero comics of the past two years, so it’s a pity to learn that the publisher will be shuttering the line in August with the conclusion of its current series. That said, 18 issues isn’t a bad run for these books, and the teams have built up concepts that are ripe for further exploration if the line returns in the future. Young Animal isn’t afraid to take risks, and its core series were creatively rejuvenated when they returned for second volumes that took the characters and ideas in bold new directions. Mother Panic became Mother Panic: Gotham A.D., sending Violet Paige to a future version of Gotham City that allows writer Jody Houser, artist Ibrahim Moustafa, colorist Jordan Boyd, and letterer John Workman to go even bigger and stranger with their interpretation of Batman’s home city.
