I think this is an excellent kick off to our new story arc and I can't wait to see where Jody Houser takes us. Also, beautiful artwork from John Paul Leon, I hope we get to see him for more than a couple issues. Be sure to pick up a copy of Mother Panic #7 from your local comic store. Read Full Review

This month's issue of MOTHER PANIC is great if you're just jumping into the series and it certainly captivates the darker tone Jody Houser is working towards. Violet's character has a lot going on with her, regarding her past, that's being unveiled in this installment. Read Full Review

This is issue 7. That means, it would not take much for you to get caught up. I can not recommend to you strongly enough that you should get caught up. If you love the Bat or hate the Bat, this book is for you. Read Full Review

Anytime you start to question why this series needs to actually be set in Batman's backyard, it delivers a firm reminder. Read Full Review

Reminding me of Batwoman's first run in 'Detective Comics' as much as anything else, Mother Panic #7 feels very different from the other Young Animal titles, but still holds up the same level of quality and care, with utterly gorgeous art throughout and a strong story that I want to know more about.

Mother Panic continues to be a really fun book that delivers on what I want, Gotham without Batman or most of the usual crew. It's a big city with a whole lot of nooks and crannies to explore without heavy crossover material. Violet's story is coming alive more and more each issue as we know her, the support group that's being fleshed out around her, and the seemingly changing nature of her goals. This installment brings us some great artwork from John Paul Leon and the end result is a pretty engaging book that has me excited for what comes next. Read Full Review

Surprisingly, Mother Panic returns to it's true form with this issue! I don't know what the "Pretty Arc" was all about, but the tone, writing, and style completely abandoned what had been established in the first three issues. This issue though" This feels like the real fourth issue, and John Paul Leon's art is a great counterpart to the script. If Mother Panic continues on this path, I'll look forward to reading it again!

Going into its third story arc, Mother Panic has matured into something worth reading.  While not perfect, and perhaps a bit too loose with the gratuitous expletives, the story and mystery surrounding the titular character are becoming more engaging by the page. Read Full Review

Violet learns a life she once saved has faced almost certain death yet again, there's a new killer out there and now she has to take a deep look into her place in Gotham! Read Full Review

However, I do recommend this book because of its strong emotional moments and the continuing slow reveal of Violet's past. Keep in mind, this is a book for Mature Readers, there is some R rated language along with a cover price of $3.99. Read Full Review

In the end, I would say that Mother Panic #7 shows improvement from where the series began. It's easier to parse and seems to have a better idea of the series that it wants to be. It's long term storylines are relatively compelling" particularly the plot threads that relate to Violet's past. That said, this book remains a bit thematically shallow, in my opinion, and this issue was not a particularly bombastic start to a new arc. If this book is for you, I suspect you know it by now.
