From bestselling Marguerite Bennett (Witchblade, Animosity) and artist Eleonora Carlini (Captain Marvel, Vicarious), comes Mommy Blog, an unsettling black comedy.
Published by Image Comics, Mommy Blog is the ultimate black comedy. The upcoming one-shot comic follows Astrid, an aspiring social media ‘super mommy’ who investigates her community after the mysterious disappearances of several neighborhood children. With a chainsaw in hand, she’ll stop at nothing to find and capture the predator responsible for their heinous crimes, even if the other rival moms get in her way.
The comic is cited as the perfect read for fans of Dexter and The Stepford Wives. Image also hails it as Real Housewives meets Fatal Attraction. Now that some high praise right there. Check out the official synopsis:
In this scathing, brutal, outrageous black comedy, Astrid is an aspiring social media “super mommy” keeping tabs on her glamorous gated community after the disappearances of several neighborhood children. Certain a predator is afoot, she turns all of her cunning, creativity, sugar, and spice to catching the killer—and if her rivals for “Mommy of the Year” get caught in the path of the chainsaw, well, you have to break a few eggs to make a cruelty-free omelette, don’t you?
“If readers want something funny, cruel, scathing, and just a damn good time, MOMMY BLOG is for them,” Bennett said in a statement.
Carlini added: “Drawing from Marguerite’s script was stimulating and fun. I loved Astrid from the very first pages—there’s something about her that I feel speaks to every woman. I could relate to her, both in the pain she keeps silent and the anger she expresses. I believe readers will love her too.”
