Mother Panic has always seemed like the odd man out in DC's Young Animal lineup. It's the only one of the four books to feature a wholly original character, yet in many ways that characters more comfortably fits the superhero mold than Cave Carson or Shade. It even takes place in Gotham City. And it's clear from the art alone that this is a far darker, grimmer book than the rest. At its core, Mother Panic #1 tells a fairly straightforward story of a new vigilante making her debut on the Gotham scene, but the tone and presentation are more than enough to set this series apart from the rest of the Batman family.
Mother Panic #1 is probably most intriguing as a counterpoint to writer Jody Houser's work on Faith. Whereas that series offers an idealistic look at a new heroine building her reputation, Mother Panic introduces a much darker and more brooding anti-heroine. Violet Paige is an heiress of Gotham celebrity who returns to town with a very violent mission in mind. The fact that she actually says the line, "F*** Batman!" during the course of this issue tells you all you really need to know about the character and her relationship with Gotham's other heroes.
