Gotham Academy: Second Semester, Vol. 2 by Karl Kerschl, Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan, Adam Archer, Rob Haynes, Jon Lam, MSSASYK

3.0

The closing of Olive's possession arc would have been more impactful, had it not been for the sudden inclusion of new characters. Olive's ancestor Amity is on a path of vengeance, and is coming for all the original families of Gotham - which includes Wayne, and some others. So while Calamity is out there setting fires, the Detective squad is trying to find a way to speak to the spirit and make her leave Olive. The plot was unnecessarily convoluted and I didn't even find it satisfying to have all the threads wrapped up - no sequel to the original first volume has lived up to it, and the sudden out of character behaviour for some main characters meant it was a messy finish. Honestly, the only thing I could heartily recommend this series for is the artwork - the storyline is not nearly as good as I expected it to be.
