This might be the best hero origin story I've read in years!
I read this book in one sitting, that's how much I wanted to see the mystery get solved.
The shift in art styles while Jena is storytelling is beautiful and haunting.
It's refreshing to read a graphic novel featuring a disabled protagonist, written by someone who is disabled.

I'd recommend this book to both fans and newcomers to the DC universe, as well as anyone looking to diversify their bookshelf.
