Ngozi Ukazu's BARDA
The nice people at DC were kind enough to send me an ARC of this with an eye to a possible blurb. Which I was delighted to give it.
This is going to be a fabulous read for anybody who's a New Gods fan—as I've been since early 1971. I've sworn numerous great oaths not to spoil anything (which is just as it should be)... so all I can do for the moment is point you at Barda's page on the publisher's website, and urge you to preorder this in the way that suits you best.
Ukazu is such a talent. Not only as a writer, but as an artist as well. She wasn't on my radar before, but she sure as hell is now. 😀

so anyway free comic book day is a great idea because I’d never have heard about @ngoziu’s Barda without it, and the graphic novel is stellar!
Not only is it a great story with beautiful art, it’s extremely faithful to the themes of Kirby’s Fourth World, which basically never happens. It’s clearly written with love and I’m going to be thinking about it for a long time.
If you like superhero stories that feel mythical, where things are cohesive and characters feel real, or if you just want to read about a cool woman falling in love and breaking out of hell, then go to your local nerd store and get Barda.

Me hoping that the Check Please fans who get into the New Gods because of that new book make Lightrion as popular as it deserves to be.

I also got the opportunity to finish up the version with my Big Barda 😄 Man, I'm so lucky and grateful to meet such fantastic artists with differing beautiful styles on this app. The collab version is still the superior one! 🙌

The DC Body Swap Brawl
🔥 Round 4, Final Brawl 🔥
Location: The Flash Museum
A loving homage to Central City's scarlet speedster, this museum serves to educate visitors about the life and legacy of The Flash. Exhibits depict the hero's greatest battles and achievements with relics from the various people who have held the mantle. In fact, some such artifacts have so much potential, the place has been broken into several times.
Team 5
Barda Free (Big Barda) in the body of Clark Kent (Superman)
Jason Todd (Red Hood) in the body of Serifan
Vykin the Black in the body of Jason Todd (Red Hood)
Team 13
Cassandra Cain (Batgirl/Black Bat) in the body of Bruce Wayne (Batman)
Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) in the body of Guy Gardner (Green Lantern)
Jo Mullein (Green Lantern) in the body of Duke Thomas (The Signal)
