DC Comics - The Jetsons (2017)
So I just got around to reading the Booster Gold/Flintstones crossover released a few months ago. What I didn't realize is that the final portion of the book serves as a prologue to DC's upcoming Jetsons series... But this ain't your momma's Hanna-Barbera Jetsons, lol...
-First off, there was evidently some sort of global disaster that washed away the earth's land-masses and killed most of the population. This forced humanity to orbit earth until the catastrophe was over... So that's why humanity lives in the sky in the Jetsons' timeline!
-Secondly, Judy went to see her dying grandmother in the hospital -- she evidently had a terminal disease, and was choosing to die via some sort of euthanasia process. Here's the bombshell, though: she had her consciousness digitized and uploaded into a Robot... So Rosie the Robot(the Jetsons' robotic maid) is actually George Jetson's mother!!! F*cking hell, mind = BLOWN! 😑
...Suffice to say, if the series itself is half as good as those 8 pages were, it should be a super-fun read!
