Bad Mother
BAD MOTHER by Christa Faust & Mike Deodato
A nerve-racking thriller from crime writer Christa Faust and blockbuster artist Mike Deodato Jr. (The Resistance, Infinity Wars). April Walters is a hit-and-run victim of life -- a middle-aged soccer mom whose inner fire has been snuffed out by her dreary suburban existence. When her teenaged daughter goes missing under mysterious circumstances, April embarks on a harrowing mission to find her; a journey that takes her through the underbelly of her suburban community and sets her on a collision course with a massive crime syndicate and its lethal matriarch. Tested to her limits and beyond, April discovers that hell hath no fury like a mother scorned.
This new series (not to be confused with the hit franchise, BAD MOMS) has a pretty familiar start but with a much cooler vibe and tone. This one feels like KILL BILL meets TAKEN meets THE KITCHEN. While all those comps are very similar, our hero, April, is what sets this one apart. She’s witty, dangerous, smart, and determined. This is the perfect fit if you’re looking for a new gritty action hero!
