<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A nerve-racking thriller from crime writer Christa Faust and blockbuster artist Mike Deodato Jr. (The Resistance, Infinity Wars). When her teenaged daughter goes missing under mysterious circumstances, suburban soccer mom April Walters 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- The title may be misleading, since April is one great mother when she struggles to find her kidnapped daughter in Faust's (Peepland) latest. She is, however, very bad for the criminals in her town. A middle-aged mother with a husband out of the country for work, April does her best to keep a happy home. When her daughter Taylor returns from a date with bruises, April rushes out to confront the attacker. When she only finds dead bodies, she returns home to an empty house and no daughter. Ava, the local criminal boss who is running both a meth and sex trade operation, is now holding Taylor captive because her boyfriend, the recently deceased body April found, was stealing from Ava. April, working diligently to find Taylor, begins to dismantle Ava's empire. The final confrontation between April and Ava is fun to behold. The characters are believable, especially April as the protective mother, and Ava is a diabolical schemer without mercy. The illustrations are realistic and beautifully drawn by Deodato, Jr.VERDICT A short five-issue story that is a must-read for mature readers. Fans of the common woman defying odds to save a loved one will enjoy. <p/><br><br>"An engaging take on a crime story, AWA's Bad Mother miniseries is a bold combination of the Punisher and a soccer mom." <b>-Screen Rant</b> <p/><br><br>"Bad Mother #1 is a solid crime thriller set-up, and the pleasure of a crime story is waiting for the chips to fall and to see how far April will go to get her daughter back." <b>-Bleeding Cool</b> <p/><br><br>"Bad Mother couldn't have arrived at a better time, with the resurgence of older women who would be considered past their prime cast in the genre roles we often see both real and fictional men in." <b>-SyFy Wire</b> <p/><br>
