Mister Miracle: The Great Escape by Varian Johnson

adventurous slow-paced

3.0

 

I did not enjoy this story at all. I think mostly because I have no previous 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.  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.
