About this eBook
The reimagined Hanna-Barbera line leaps into the future with an unexpected vision of a high-tech world on the brink of disaster! Meet George Jetson, a family man in a post-digital world. His wife Jane is a brilliant scientist working off-world at a conference, his daughter Judy is a social butterfly trying to discover her true calling and his son Elroy is busy using technology to break the rules. Helping keep order in the house is Rosie the Robot … who houses the memories and personality of George's own mother! With Jane off in space and George busy keeping an eye on Spacely Sprockets’ infrastructure, Elroy gets into some trouble on his own, disturbing undersea ruins and accidentally triggering explosive consequences. But there may not be time enough for it to matter, as Jane has learned that something’s heading for Earth at incredible speed, and the collision may mean the end of life as we know it, unless the hapless George Jetson can survive first contact… Writer Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn) and phenomenal artist Pier Brito (Daredevil) bring the world of the future home in The Jetsons! Collects The Jetsons #1-6. “It's a fascinating and chilling new take on a classic franchise, and it forces us to ask plenty of questions about our own future.” —SYFY Wire “The Jetsons is a perfect dystopia.” —The Verge

This book is a masterpiece with phenomenal art and serious topics that were way deeper than thd cartoon. I won't spoil much but OSHA/workplace accidents that aren't your fault, assisted suicide for someone old, and valuing your last days as a family be were all heartfelt themes. I like how Jane is a NASA scientist to update with the times rather than housewife who comically steals George's wallet in the intro. Judy and Elroy aged a bit, and I like the Rosie the Robot backstory that I won't spoil. I also liked George's speech to be thankful for the opportunity though I wish he would've included forgiving that workplace accident though Spacely redeems himself.
