After the apocalypsis happened, the human race has been trying to adapt and there's no better example than the Jetsons who will try to help their people to live another day.
A new reinvention of a classic Hanna Barbera franchise has appeared. Just like The Flintstones, The Jetsons was a show focused on the classic look of the American family except with a futurustic kind of theme that also dealt with topics like consumerism. However, unlike the recent reinvention of The Flintstones, The Jetsons doesn't deal with exactly the same topics.
Jimmy Palmiotti is in charge of this new series and decides to not focus so much on satire like the already mentioned example as much as how the world tries to live in this new situation along with classic human ideas. The setting of the story is quickly explored and explained and shows a creative take of the original series which took place above the skies but there wasn't any real explanation behind that, here however, is revealed that humanity needed to get above the planet because of its destruction and things are going to get even worse in the future. This kind of direction gives a bigger emphasis to the plot and shows a completely different tone from The Flintstones.
The themes about humanity are nicely explored which include the use of Rosie who in this story is actually George's mother who transfered her consciousness to a robot after she died. The way how this choice affects her is clearly and interestingly explored just like the reaction of her family to it and the depiction of concepts like the afterlife and fragility of a persongets very compelling.
Pier Brito handles the artwork and is pretty appropriate. He depicts characters solidly along with clear storytelling with a rough style.
Solid beginning, interested to see more.
