Orion - Ngozi Ukazu

In this highly anticipated sequel to Barda, #1 New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Ngozi Ukazu (Check, Please!) takes readers on an epic sci-fi adventure featuring the fan-favorite New God Orion. When Prince Orion uncovers his sinister parentage, he must decide for himself if he is destined to be a hero--or a villain. nThe festivals on New Genesis are merry, and the gods who fill its skies are lovers. But Prince Orion, adopted son of the Highfather, is none of these things. A brooding, battle-hungry warrior, Orion wonders how he was ever chosen to become an intergalactic prince, secretly in fear that he does not belong on the planet he calls home. n nAnd then Orion's darkest nightmares are confirmed when the Highfather himself brings Orion's true parentage to light: Not only is Orion from Apokolips, adopted as part of a cosmic pact, but he is the spawn of the tyrant Darkseid. How can Orion face his loved ones as a beast from Apokolips? How can he live with himself when a tar-black evil runs through his veins? And when Darkseid threatens to destroy all New Genesis, Orion will have to answer the ultimate question: Could he ever be a hero? Or was he born to become a monster?n
