Literally all I knew about Midnighter was that he's an openly gay superhero but I was like yes, I want to read that. It was fine. He's definitely an openly gay superhero. Kind of like a slightly less angsty Batman, but also with no memories of his past I guess? Maybe more of a slightly less angsty Wolverine.

I prob would have felt more invested in the story if I had ever read any other Midnighter story, but I liked this fine and followed the plot pretty well. if you read enough comics you can jump on board to a stolen Macguffin plotline pretty easily. I liked the crossover with Grayson, too. (I read the first volume of [b:Grayson, Vol 1: Agents of Spyral|23505378|Grayson, Vol 1 Agents of Spyral|Tom King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1440046679s/23505378.jpg|43109801] also based on it having been on some list of LGBTQ comics for what I think are weak reasons, but it was a fun book so w/e.)
