I read this as a preview to see if the library should purchase it. There is some excellent stuff here, but I couldn't give it higher than 3.5 stars because I was also really confused. I did not know anything about Darkseid and the war that rages on in Apokolips before starting this, and that left me at a loss during parts of this story that jumps around a lot. I had a friend explain some stuff to me, but alas. However, I did love a lot of the conversations between Scott Free and Big Barda. Lots of things to think about. I recommend this, but maybe only to those who are familiar with the whole Darkseid/Apokolips stuff.

I have no previous knowledge of the series/show and while I found the storyline intriguing, I also found it confusing. The artwork was fine, but it was hard to follow the battle scenes. I was also confused if this was a prelude to the show or just some side and background stories. It felt incomplete if so. I may check out the show to find out more....more

It is cute and sweet (not sweet as in "Cool" but sweet as in heart touching) and both main characters are likable. Even if someone does not like reading about gay love, it's pretty innocent, not too preachy and still something relatable. I think I'll be ordering for my library.
