The 2017 comic book by DC Comics reimagines the 1960s Hanna Barbera properties alongside Scooby Apocalypse, Wacky Raceland and Future Quest.[1]
This series was written by Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn) and illustrated by Pier Brito. The cover collection is by Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn, Convergence: Action Comics). It collects The Jetsons #1-6, as well as an 8-page story from Booster Gold/Flintstones Special #1. In short, the story takes place a few years after the animated series, and tells the story of Jane and George trying to stop the course of a meteor heading towards their planet that will eradicate all human life. In this book, the origin of Rosie, the family’s mechanical maid, is told. It is in fact the sub-conscious of George’s mother uploaded into a robotic shell.[2]
