This comic book came with a surprise ending that will make you think. As I don't know how to review this book without discussing this revelation, I think I need to do the whole spoiler warning thing.
Stop reading now if you don't want spoilers.
I mean it. Stop now.
Okay, still here?
In this comic book young Adora is fated to confront the Distance. While the Distance is a nebulous dark force, legend tells of its destructive wake as it destroys the worlds of all who must face it. When it is revealed that Adora is the one the Distance wants, she is determined to save her home and the people she loves. Luckily, her adoptive father is able to put together a band of sworn protectors to guard her as she ventures into the world.
After following along on Adora's adventures as she marches forward to confront the Distance, you discover the entire tale is unfolding within the mind of a non-verbal autistic child. It's a poignant ending, one that inspires compassion and empathy. It will also make you rethink everything you just read/saw.
