Gothic Academy home to the wealthiest and most elite students in Gotham City and apparently a ghost that is scaring all the students. Olive Silverlock is hoping that her second year at the academy will kick off to a good start but it does anything but. She gets stuck looking out for her ex boyfriends annoyingly cute little sister, and then all the weird ghost drama and mysterious goings on, have her on the look out. She ends up teaming up with some other students to investigate and see what is going on, on campus but none are prepared for the truth. Slow at times, but still charming. The DC tie ins (Bruce Wayne, Cobblepot, Gotham, etc.) are also pretty cool.

I picked this one up because I have been told that Gotham Academy is going to be teaming up with one of my faves, LumerJanes for a few issues in June. Gotham Academy follows a group of students and the adventures that have. I enjoyed the story and the illustrations were great!

I dunno. I found the characters very irritating and the story pretty clunky. That said, I enjoyed the artwork and the idea behind it.

This was an interesting beginning. There is lots of mystery of what is exactly going on. One mystery was solved, but there are still so many questions that need to be answered. Also, Bruce is suspicious. I'm not sure if I'm missing information because I haven't read any Batman comics, but I've gotten to the basic plot. Olive still has lots to learn about herself. Maps is definitely my favourite character. Her bubbly and inquisitive personality is so endearing.

A very good start. Maps is super fun, and I enjoyed meeting her and Olive. I'm a little curious about Olive's past, but most of the rest of the story didn't do a lot for me.
The art was pretty good, matching the feel of the story.
High point: belfry shenanigans.

Fun. Looked good. Fleshed out some of Gotham's history without too much Batman.
