This was great! I have no idea how it plays into the rest of the DC universe, but I’m super eager to read another installment!

This was great! As I work my way through the YA DC imprint, this story felt very much like a comic book. His great escape was his escape from Granny Goodness, and this was that story, along with his love story. My only complaint was the art style- some of the faces were more stylized than others, and at times, it jarred me out of the story.

This is the kind of book I wish DC was in the business of more often. It's a single story unrelated to anything else. It's one volume only. A nice beginning middle and end. It also has all the good energy of past elseworlds stories. Daniel Isles' art is phenomenal and a perfect fit for the way this story is told. It's Apokalips but in a prep school and it works. It has all the fun Apokalips vibes but still feels fresh.

I would probably rate this four stars normally, but I’m giving it an extra star to counteract will the pissy comic book fans who are mad that this reimagining made Scot black, which is a DUMB reason to dislike this book. It’s not canon to the main DCU! It’s called a reimagining for a reason, Jesus.
