! ".a fantastic balance between action and introspection. A visually arresting account of a Fury's promising beginning." -Kirkus Reviews "A love story set on a world without love, with a sort of cosmic Romeo and Juliet (with a far happier ending) at its plot's center, Barda is a magnificent superhero comic that reads like YA sci-fi, and it finds a rich, fascinating inner life in a character who'se spent decades in the shadow of her husband or her teammates." - School Library Journal.
