Welcome, @ObscurityofDCClub and other members of the DC Community! Welcome to Obscurity of DC’s forty-sixth Ultr-Obscure Book Club! This week, we’ll be focusing on…
MOTHERLANDS!!!
AGE SUGGESTION: 17+
Number of Issues: 6
Synopsis from dcuniverseinfinite.com: In a crazed future where unhinged technologies and interconnected parallel Earths have given rise to a spectacular class of super-criminal, the most beloved celebrities aren’t actors or rock stars, but the bounty hunters who traverse an exotic multiverse in search of impossible prey! But when the spotlight-shunning, strait-laced tracer known as Tab finds herself in an ultra-violent race for her greatest prize yet, she’s forced to work with her greatest enemy, the only person capable of IDing him: her own elderly, overbearing and hypercritical mother, who was once the most fabulous and celebrated bounty hunter of them all.
Now that that’s over with, here are some discussion questions:
- Despite being a bounty hunter, Tab tends to be very respectful and use proper manners (at least at first). How does this contribute to the complexity of her character and the series as a whole?
- Simon Spurrier (the writer of the series) curses very often and very excessively. Do you find there to be reason behind the profanity, or is it just there for #funzies? Explain.
- How do you think the flashbacks impacted the story? Did you enjoy them? Were they necessary? Explain.
- Do you think Selena cares more about Tab or fame? Explain.
- Why do you think the series is called “Motherlands?” How does family play a role in the series?
