VERY FINE/NEAR MINT

WELCOME TO GOTHAM ACADEMY! Gotham City's most prestigious prep school is a very weird place. It's got a spooky campus, oddball teachers, and rich benefactors always dropping by...like that weirdo Bruce Wayne. But nothing is as strange is the students! Like, what's up with Olive Silverlock? Is she crazy or what? Where did she go last summer? And what's the deal with her creepy mom? And how come that Freshman MAPS is always following her around? And is she still going out with Kyle? P.S. Did you hear the rumor about the ghost in the North Hall?! GOTHAM ACADEMY is a new, monthly teen drama set in the shadow of Batman and the craziness of Gotham City, with new characters and old plus a secret tie to Gotham's past…

Reviews

I have to admit first of all, I am a sucker for "silly" comics about heroes I love. Spidey Loves Mary Jane, Batman Adventures, Peter David's old school Young Justice? I loved them all. The art was always great. The stories fun, albeit somewhat lighthearted, most of the time. It just felt like something I'd always make the time to read. And that was the 1st impression I had when opening Gotham Academy. Karl Kerschl's art is fantastic. The story by Becky Cloonan starts off somewhere between mystery and sci-fi. Our 2 new "leads" are fresh to batman readers as well. I hope that this book will try to maintain an all ages/creepy vibe that it supplies in #1. And as of right now, it's a book I will reccomend for readers of ages 10-100. It's a great new story and I look forward to the next issue.
