We do speak of love on Apokolips. Barda has been raised with only pain and punishment, never love, or understanding, or hope. Even as she fights under the cruel hand of Granny Goodness and Darkseid, Barda still sees beauty and secretly wishes to feel love. A gripping graphic novel, I hope there is a second one!
Thank you to NetGalley and DC Comics for this DRC.

A look at the events that shaped Big Barda. Lots that I liked, especially Barda thinking what she experienced with Orion was love because she hadn't ever had a similar interaction. I didn't loooove the art, it was a weird attempt at softening the classic Kirby look that didn't really work for me.

Is this a new hero story? I don't know if I've ever heard of Barda or this universe before!! I really liked it though. The art style is a bit too cutesy for a murder planet imo, but I feel like it still was enjoyable.
