Mister Miracle: the Great Escape | Varian Johnson

3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

Escaping Apokolips is hard enough when you don't know your real name, struggle with PTSD, and have a giant crush on your biggest enemy...but escaping as a hero will take nothing short of a miracle. Scott Free is a student at the Goodness Academy, on the planet Apokolips, ruled by Lord Darkseid. Sounds pretty cool, right? Wrong. Scott Free wants nothing more than to leave Apokolips for planet Earth; the only problem is that no one has ever left Apokolips of their own free will...or alive. Scott Free has a plan, a foolproof plan, a plan that his found family depends on for their own freedom. But that plan never involved falling in love with the head of the Female Furies, Big Barda-the one person tasked with ensuring he never escapes. From the Coretta Scott King Honor-winning author of The Parker Inheritance, Varian Johnson, and afrofuturist artist Daniel Isles (DirtyRobot) comes the story of an escape plan that will take a miracle to pull off. Lucky for Scott, everyone calls him MISTER MIRACLE! Okay, fine, no one calls him that...yet.

Mister Miracle: the Great Escape | Varian Johnson

so-so

3 ⭐ I didn't enjoy this story. I think mostly because I have no knowledge of the character and the story seems to start in the middle. The characters are either in another world or demission, maybe hell???? They want to escape and get to earth. The reason I say hell is because they are trained to die and rebirth or reform. But Mister Miracle has been able to escape the “school” or “training facility” but not able to help others do so yet.

LibrarianRyan The story was not holding my attention. It also felt old in illustration, both in style and color. This could be because I was reading a galley so I will hold judgement on that factor. Over all, I did not really enjoy this book, which was sad. Maybe a second go I will like the character better. I do know some kids who will love it, and as such should be added to library‘s DC collections.
