The mother of dragons is now a mother of a new comic book series! Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke has written and developed M.O.M.: Mother of Madness, a three-issue miniseries for Image Comics. M.O.M. follows Maya, a single mother who is a scientist and a superhero, as IGN details:
"We're always calling mothers superheroes, and I'm like, what if they were? What if they legitimately were superheroes?" Clarke told Entertainment Weekly.
"Maya has had a very hard life, and she finds herself in a place where everything that makes her unique, she hates and is ashamed about. It's only in the discovery of her powers that she finds her true acceptance of who she is."
Clarke assembled an all-female creative team for the project, including illustrator Leila Leiz, contributor Isobel Richardson, and cover artist Jo Ratcliffe. The Game of Thrones actress describes the tone of M.O.M. as "Deadpool-esque" in its humor.
Clarke isn't the only actor jumping into comic books. Keanu Reeves made his comic book writing debut with BRZRKR, a 12 issue limited series at BOOM! Studios.
