About the series
Gotham City gets a new kind of vigilante in Mother Panic, a DC series launched in 2017 that follows the brutal, high-tech crusade of Violet Paige, a socialite with a traumatic past and a thirst for bloody justice. Primarily written by Jody Houser and Jim Krueger, with gritty, expressive art from Shawn Crystal, John Paul Leon, and Phil Hester, the 12-issue run stands out as a dark, mature entry in the Young Animal imprint. It matters for its unflinching exploration of trauma and revenge, carving a unique, punk-rock corner of the Bat-mythos.
