Barbara Gordon is a high school master hacker, but her life changes after a gunshot leaves her paralyzed. She is sent to the Arkham Center for Independence for physical and mental therapy. Barbara is less than thrilled by this, but she begins to notice that things are not all they seem at Arkham. Strange noises and missing patients force Barbara to reach outside her limitations to figure out what’s going on.
If you like a graphic novel a bit on the dark side, this is for you. I could not put it down. Barbara Gordon is a great character. Her frustration at being in a wheelchair and a sudden switch of circumstances and friends mixed with a creepy mystery makes for an engaging read. The illustrations add to the feel of the book. I’m hoping for book two.
