A fun little side story for fans of Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy. I have been putting this one off until I finished reading Gotham Academy. I've already read almost every piece of Lumberjanes content available, but Gotham Academy just didn't jump out and bite me in the same way that Lumberjanes did so I've only read the first volume, and I was worried that I wouldn't understand the story because of this.
That said, I think that the first volume of Gotham Academy is all that is needed to have read in order to enjoy this crossover. This comic requires that you have a familiarity with both Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy in order for it to make sense, but I think a familiarity is all that is needed. Of course I'm sure I didn't pick up on some things and some of the characters were not particularly familiar to me, but it didn't really matter.
The story is fun, the characters work well together and the plot was much more impactful than I thought it would be for a crossover oneshot comic.
I would recommend this for fans of Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy, for those who like one or the other, but not for those unfamiliar with either series.
