Image Comics Sets Release Date for ‘Golden Rage’ Follow-Up, ‘Mother Knows Best’

Image Comics announces Golden Rage follow-up miniseries, Mother Knows Best, which comes to shelves this April!

Fan of The Handmaid’s Tale? What about Netflix’s smash-hit survival drama Squid Game? If your answer is yes, then Image Comics has the comic for you. Written by Chrissy Williams, with art from Lauren Knight (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and colours from Sofie Dodgson (Tank Girl), Golden Rage is a dystopian comic set in a world where old and infertile women are deemed useless to society, and are therefore abandoned on a secluded island. Naturally, abandoned together, they spend their golden years fighting to the death.

Now, Image has announced that the popular title will return in April with Mother Knows Best, an all-new 5-issue run.

On X, Williams teased that the upcoming follow-up, Mother Knows Best, features “more grandmas, tea breaks and machetes than ever before!”

Additionally, in a statement, Williams shared her excitement to be returning to the Golden Rage series. “I’ve always thought of Golden Rage as aspirational—I hope my days also end with such good friends and stabbing weapons,” she said. “I can’t wait to share this series with everyone.”

Artist Lauren Knight teased a little of what’s to come. The series is doubling down on what it does best. “There’ll be more fights, more wrinkles, and more hot flashes than ever before—and we prove definitively that, yes, denim is for all seasons.”

The original 5-issue series garnered impressive reviews from critics. It was praised for its strong characters and premise, all wrapped up in a brilliant execution. Golden Rage was compiled into a graphic novel in 2023, which you can find on Amazon here.
