Unlike Geoff Johns’ darker New 52 reboot, which the character has pretty much followed for the past decade, Waid and Mora’s debut sets the tone by recapturing the whimsical storytelling and magical wonder that comes with watching a child wield the power of gods. ![]()

In poignant scenes, the teen learns about his uncle’s beloved, lost to AIDS but present through the truths of the home’s staged stories. Carefully crafted chapters pose puzzles and connect to the prior visual narrative. The poetry of Yeats and references to The Winter’s Tale add luster. Inspired by the actual Dennis Severs’ House (where scent, sound, setting, and the motto “You either see it or you don’t” transport visitors to 18th-century London), Selznick provides a sensory equivalent throughout his eloquent and provocative text. ![]() Observant readers will recall this recently viewed address. Joseph is searching for an uncle and something more elusive-family. Fast-forwarding to the 1990s, the author describes in prose a runaway who peers longingly into a candlelit dwelling.
