Mister Miracle: The Great Escape by Varian Johnson
adventurous
funny
medium-paced
3.5
Not knowing anything about Mister Miracle going into this, I admit it took me a while to actually figure out what was happening. I think some of the writing relied on the fact that readers will probably know some background for this character, which is fine! It just took away from the story a bit for me.
However, I did really love the art in this! The color scheme throughout is just fantastic. I think it meshes well with the drawing style and the story itself. I feel like sometimes these DC graphic novels can be hit or miss with the art, but this one was great!
Outside of the confusion with the world building, I did like the story arc and the writing for the characters in the story itself. Part of me just wishes that a bit more context was given at the beginning of the book, especially since these YA DC graphic novels are kind of hinging on the fact that readers might not have background knowledge on the character.
All in all, if you've liked the YA DC graphic novels this far, you'll probably enjoy this one too!
