When Granny Goodness decides her champion, Barda, is becoming too soft, she assigns her the task of breaking the seemingly unbreakable Scott Free, but as Barda questions Granny's motives she finds herself drawn to Scott in a way she never expected.
Barda was such a fun read! The panels are in full color, and there are phrases repeated throughout the book which really drive home both Barda's backstory and the book's setting. While Barda is a character from the DC universe, which I know almost nothing about, I was still able to enjoy the book even if I couldn't catch all the references. The characters are well fleshed-out and diverse, both in design and personality, and Barda herself is very likeable and relatable. The book has a nice mix of action and introspection, and I'd recommend this to people looking for superhero books or coming-of-age stories!
