So...the series is already 1/3 over. It's a bit difficult to accept this, given how good the opening issue is. Clarke, Bennett, and company have done such a good job of putting together a genuinely engaging fusion between satire, emotional drama, and traditional superhero story that it seems a bit tragic that it's only going to be around for a couple more months.

Leila Leiz delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. There is a richness to the visuals that are eye catching and the visual style is fantastic. Read Full Review

The breaking of the fourth wall where Maya addresses the readers is what drives the superhero's journey and makes the reader connect to the character. This is complemented with great artwork and different panel sizes that allow the reader to peek into Maya's mind as she tries to define her identity as a superhero in a world full of controlling men.

M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1 is a unique story, but one that is trying to do too much in a single issue. Still, it mixes good messages you can learn from, a foreboding sci-fi future, and superpowers in a way that's never been done before. It's an idiosyncratic comic, to say the least, and while it has jarring tonal shifts it has the promise to become your favorite comic that tries something new. Read Full Review

So, when all is said and done, I think M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1 delivers its poignant message about the struggles of women in this world through the cheeky lens of Maya with an impressive amount of skill and self-awareness. It makes strong statements and adds a bit of humor to the story for good measure. From where I'm standing it seems like the book manages to deliver on what it sets out to do. Read Full Review

M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1 is a relatively familiar superhero origin story, elevated by its witty conversational voice, humor, and clever artwork. Read Full Review

I'm not giving up on M.O.M yet but there need to be less Gwenpool style lampooning for the readers and more character and plot development. There only is three issues and based on issue 1 it needs much thicker books to get to where it needs to go. Read Full Review

Mother of Madness #1 fits as much as it can in the 50 pages it's been given. In terms of an origin story and the initial adventures of a hero, it uses those pages well. In terms of a book that's going to poke fun at a whole slew of topics. It could use more nuance. Read Full Review

Good artwork and colors cannot save a comic debut that lacks any semblance of reader immersion in its setting. Read Full Review

The Mother of Dragons has traded in her fire-breathing lizards for Madness but, unfortunately, fails to take flight. While there were brief glimpses of meaningful storytelling, M.O.M.: Mother of Madness #1 leaves the madness behind in favor of blandness. Read Full Review

I liked it.

I LOVED it! It was such a refreshing take and I can’t wait to get the other issues. Not gonna lie I didn’t think I was gonna love it and I thought it was one of those celebrities-just-bired type of projects, but I can see how Clarke really thought and put an effort to it.

First solid issue, with good pacing, relevant themes and very good illustration. Should lay the foundation for a great series.

I decided to give Emilia's new comic a chance since I admired her as an actress and to be honest, it's not too good, but there's a first time for everything. Maybe the follow-up issues will be better.

The book made me very stupid.
