Mom & amp; Daughters: novel is the sixth novel in the comic book series of Canada, Dave Sim's Cerebus . Sim thought the novel was the last part of the main story. It collects the Cerebus # 151-200 in four volumes, the seventh to tenth volume of the "phonebook" of the series, titled Aviation i> Reading and Thoughts .
After two quiet novels and focusing on the characters ( Jaka's Story and Melmoth ) where the Cerebus character takes rÃÆ'Â'le supporters, Cerebus appears and takes over the stage in the series again. The novel is full of climactic events, including the disclosure of the identity of the Suenteus Po, the battle of the sword between Cirin and Cerebus, and Cerebus has a long conversation with his creator - Sim himself.
Of particular note is the part of the text that became a big part of the third book of the novel, Read , and especially what was the last problem that compiled the book - problem # 186, where Sim spoke to the reader in the first person about the idea his idea of ​​gender. His writings in the editions of "Male Light" and "Emptiness of Women" have made Sim misogynist and lost many readers.

​​â € <â €
Cerebus, who has twice been the prime minister of the Iest city state (first at High Society) and then the very powerful Pope, has fallen from grace at the end of the Church & State . The fascists, the matriarchal Cirinists invaded the Iest, and Cerebus hid, first with Jaka (love in her life) and her husband.
After Jaka was captured by the Cirinist because of an illegal exotic dance, Cerebus believes he has been executed. She picks up Jaka's doll, Missy, with him and finds a cafe where to spend the rest of her life, paying her with rare gold coins, whose value has become superinflated as the Cirinists have collected all the gold in the city.
Cerebus came from a near-catatonic country where he spent the duration of Melmoth when he heard Jaka's ill-treatment at the hands of the Cirin. He gets angry and starts attacking the Cirin with his sword, clutching Missy to himself.

Books
Sim considers Mothers & amp; Daughters into a novel, but divided into four books, as indicated in the indicia of each problem. The four books were collected into separate "paperback" phone book volumes.
Book One: Flight
( Cerebus # 151-162)
The return of Cerebus from the Cirinsts hide and slaughter leads to a very short revolution. When the word reaches Cirin, who is busy with burning books, he sends his troops and rebels brutally, but before they can capture Cerebus, he disappears.
Artemis, with Elrod as his sidekick, also staged his own impromptu revolution under his new personality "PunisherRoach", a parody of the Marvel The Punisher comic character, armed with a pearl-coated automatic crossbow. Punisherroach plowed through the Cirin before Elrodt took him to a brothel, where he fell to a whore named Blossom, who calmed him somewhat.
Mrs Thatcher and Mrs. Kopp (parody of Canadian Criminal Member of Parliament) each tried to take over the power of the Cirin. Cirin works to manage his sect and regulate his own Ascension, while obsessing over Astoria and his relationship with Cerebus.
Cerebus ascends to the Seventh Sphere and finally gets to the Eighth Sphere where he speaks with Suenteus Po - who, he finds, is mysteriously a third aardvark. Po warns Cerebus does not believe what George (Judge of the Church & the State) has told him, because he is unreliable.
Book Two: Women
( Cerebus # 163-174)
Cerebus collided back to earth. He is assisted by a mysterious old woman who is openly spied on by the Cirin; he sent her to the bar to hide. This story arc includes a parody of Neil Gaiman Sandman in which Roach plays "Swoon" (parody Dream) and Elrod plays "Snuff" (a transvestite parody of Death). Astoria and Cirin symbolically duel in dreamland. This book includes excerpts from books written by Astoria and Cirin that describe their different beliefs. Cerebus flies across town to kill Astoria, but is distracted by the coming of Suenteus Po.
Book Three: Reading
( Cerebus # 175-186)
The book consists mainly of two long texts. Both of these stories are accompanied by a long discussion between Cirin, Astoria, Cerebus, and Suenteus Po. Po provides information about aardvarks, including that all aardvarks have Cerebus "qualities", and an attempt to convince each of the others to abandon their power pursuit and return to what they most like, then leave them to their destiny. Astoria is convinced and well traveled, but not before giving Cerebus information about his history with Cirin and also informing him of his hermaphroditic nature. Cerebus and Cirin then engage in a long and brutal sword fight, leading to the start of another Ascension.
The first revolves around a writer Reads , which is a heavy picture book popular in the Cerebus world. In this story, there is a strong red thread about the dangers of commercial success and "selling". The series moves from this storyline to a long essay attributed to Viktor Davis, a fictional author of Reads . This essay puts forward the theory of the nature of sex, describes the "Void of Woman" focused on feeling, and "Light of Man" focuses on reason and that "feeling" (void) seeks the destruction of "reason" of light). This is the conclusion to this book that Sim produced the # 186 edition, which earned her a reputation as a misogynist.
Book Four: Mind
( Cerebus # 187-200)
Cerebus and Cirin rose, then separated by mysterious powers. When Cerebus flies through the solar system, he is shown a picture of his past and is forced to reconsider his actions and his faith. He then finds a bodyless voice calling himself "Dave" who recognizes himself as the creator of Cerebus. "Dave" shows Cerebus the history of the Cirinist movement, revealing that Cirin is actually named Serna and is the best friend of the real Cirin (old woman whom Cerebus encounters in Women) but seizes Cirin's leadership and effectively exchange identities with her. "Dave" then gives Cerebus information about his past, showing that Cerebus unwittingly destroys his original destiny, causing a chaotic impact that has affected most of his adventures. Cerebus demanded that "Dave" make Jaka love her; in response, "Dave" denotes Cerebus's vision of a possible future between himself and Jaka, all of which are unfortunate to both of them because of the nature of Cerebus. After a period of penance and self-reflection on Pluto, Cerebus asks "Dave" to place him in a bar he remembers from his days as a mercenary.
Issue 186
Cerebus # 186 was published in September 1994. The problem is the end of the Read collection in Mothers & amp; Princess story. This then became one of the most controversial books in comic history.
Sim speaks directly to the reader through his fictitious version of Viktor Davis. Sim has long been critical of modern feminism. The text of this particular issue speaks directly about events in the real world (rather than the Cerebus storyline) and the involvement of men versus women. 'Viktor' offers that many modern problems are increasingly deteriorated by the influence of women, in particular their alleged tendency to make important decisions based on emotion rather than intellectual reasoning. He describes the role of gender and male-female relationships with a visceral metaphor with the effect that "Void Women Gobble Men's Light," and shows that most men in long-term relationships with women are treated slightly better than "housepets".
According to Sim, Cerebus problem # 186 is "one of the few Cerebus that returns to sell virtually overnight", and the word content makes headlines in the comic community. Reaction is generally a combination of shock and anger, followed by a sharp decline in the number of readers. Having been known as a pioneer for independent comics, his essay says brought Dave Sim's reputation as a misogynist and marked him as a pariah in comics.

Publications
Originally serialized at Cerebus # 151-200, Mom & amp; Daughters were conceived as a novel, but were collected into four volumes of "paperback" phone book. As in Jaka's Story and Melmoth before, and as in all Cerebus stories to follow, the problem displayed is the current problem number from Cerebus comic, as well as the current number Mothers & amp; Daughters storyline, so problem # 155 from Cerebus is also indicated as the # 5 installment of Mothers & amp; Daughters . Four books from Mothers & amp; Girls , however, are not indicated with the name or number of installments on the cover.
The volume of Cerebus "phonebook" has text-free thorns until the publication of Flights . After that, all volumes (and reprints from previous volumes) have text on their spines, including the title and volume number.
