An exciting tale unfolds in ‘Barda’
I have read a fair amount of DC graphic novels lately. Each one has been a ton of fun and taken me on some action packed adventures. When I heard about Barda I couldn’t wait to start reading it. I was able to get a digital copy of this graphic novel and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Barda here:
Darkseid is…and life on Apokolips is tough—but then, it is hell after all. And no one knows this better than Barda, Granny Goodness’s right hand warrior.
But Barda has a secret…she is in love. Or she is drawn to the idea of it anyway, whether it be the beauty of a flower, her affection for her closest friend, Aurelie, or the mysterious and fierce enemy warrior, Orion, who is the only match for Barda’s strength.
But when Granny decides Barda is becoming too soft, she assigns Barda a task that might be more than she can handle—to break the seemingly unbreakable Scott Free. And as Barda questions why Scott has such hope and what he might have done to promote such hatred from Granny, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she never expected.
The only thing is, we do not speak of love on Apokolips…
I had a tough time putting this graphic novel down. It begins with Barda trying to obtain an important relic for Darkseid. They have a run in with Orion, and barely get out of there in one piece. Granny Goodness gives them a task, and at first they are more than happy to do it. Yet over time as learn more about this prisoner it begins to change them. As this graphic novel comes to a close, life for Barda will be changed forever.
Barda is available now. You can order this graphic novel on Amazon, at Barnes and Noble and on Bookshop.
