If you're wondering who Resistance: Book 1 is for, look no further than the quote on the back cover by creator Carla Jablonski's fellow young adult author Jane Yolen, who knows what she's talking about because she wrote The Devil's Arithmetic .
It's become obvious at this point that Geoff Johns' comics in recent years have a clear meta-element, and unfortunately not in that transcendent Grant Morrison "We have 4-D vision that allows us to gaze into an entire fictional universe" sense.
Appropriate to the title of this comic, I actually have a secret boner for ops-type comics -- stuff like Global Frequency and The Ultimates , where heroes are given mission briefings and deployed instead of just deciding that they need to go out and kick things.
