Mother Panic Gotham A D 2018 3

Arkham Institute has been branded a place of healing, but the horror that lurks behind its walls makes the old asylum look like a tea party. Will Violet Paige be able to rescue her mother from the CollectiveÕs clutches, or will a certain artiste spoil her chances? And what has happened to Dr. Quinzel?!

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.

The Cult of the Bat has taken things too far. Mother Panic is enlisted by the Gotham City Sirens to help end the mad reign of Jason Todd, last of the Robins. But as the heroes past and present clash, are they all just playing into the hands of the evil Collective?

The cybernetically enhanced vigilante known as Mother Panic has been transported forward in time--but the near-future Gotham in which she finds herself has changed beyond all recognition! In this new reality, Batman disappeared years ago. Madame Gala and her sinister Collective now rule the city, creating masked heroes and villains as living art projects. Under the Collective's high-tech tyranny, unsanctioned costumed crusaders face a lethal zero-tolerance policy, which poses a problem for Mother Panic as well as her kid sidekick Fennec Fox--not to mention all the Jokers and Robins who are warring for Gotham's soul. To rescue her mother and defeat the brutal Collective, Violet Paige will have to navigate a city whose streets and power players are now a warped reflection of the ones she knows so well. But can Mother Panic master this fallen world's twisted topology quickly enough to redeem Gotham City's future? Find out in Mother Panic: Gotham A.D., a shocking new chapter in the ongoing chronicles of Gotham's White Witch from acclaimed talents Jody Houser (Stranger Things), Ibrahim Moustafa (Doctor Fate) and DC's Young Animal mastermind Gerard Way!

After six months of learning the ins and outs of her new status quo, Violet Paige decides itÕs time to go public: Gotham CityÕs favorite bad-girl celebutante is back! But not everyone is pleased to learn of the socialiteÕs sudden resurfacing, least of all her estranged brother, who thought he had her on ice for good. Meanwhile, the Cult of the Bat begins to make moves, and itÕs no laughing matter.
