This was actually very good! The story tells of a young girl who is in her second year of Gotham Academy, there is now a new girl that she has to show the ropes to. The story is funny and a lot better than I expected it to be! It does have minor connections to Batman but this series can clearly shine on its own. I Highly recommend it!
I'm not much of a DC reader, but I enjoyed this one. The art was great and it looks like this is going to turn into a great series. Mind you, I'm no expert (obviously), but I start had fun with this one!Happy reading!
Boarding school set in Gotham City? Sounds awesome and it is!
I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed this! The story was nothing mind-blowing, but I enjoyed the art and the atmosphere. I will definitely be checking out the Gotham Academy trades.
This was all over the place, I had zero idea where the plot went
That fourth star is aspirational.I found a lot to like in this surprisingly dense series kick-off featuring a white hair heroine grieving her mother (sorta) and trying to find her place at sleep-away school. The art and colors are quality. The character development, not too shabby. The diversity of cast was more than decent. However, I had a LOT of unanswered questions. I think there were too many layers of mystery to the story, but I'm willing to forgive that --so long as the developing relatio...
I really like the art, but was confused by the plot in some points. As it went on, it made more sense, but parts seemed to skip oddly (scenes having unclear/bad transitions, some events happening too quickly or oddly). I love the art and character designs, esp heathcliff and maps. Maps is mildly annoying but midly charming.I guess more like 3.5, but I'm hitting 4 just because I liked it enough and would like to read more.
Fantastic start. I love the background art.
my kind of art style--checkdecent inner conflicts/purpose--checkpersonable sidekick/s--checkhas mystery and potential--check It was a good opening to a different take on Gotham--school life of all things!
A+!
This was interesting enough, although I doubt I'll stick with it barring some amazing reviews of where it heads. It seems a lot like DC is trying to make their own Locke & Key, with Batman in it, of course.
Well-timed to debut between the start of a new school year and Halloween, Gotham Academy takes elements of both and mixes it up into something resembling the two. Because, wow, is Gotham Academy deliciously gothic! The school itself looks like the classic, centuries-old boarding schools in England and even the headmaster plays into that idea, making his grim first appearance with a candle. Our hero is Olive Silverlock, a returning student to Gotham Academy, who is tasked with chaperoning the you...
The life and times of students at Gotham Academy.I didn't particularly care for this, but I'm clearly not the target audience. I've had enough stories that focus on kids in schools for a lifetime.
I have been meaning to review this for a month and reading issue #2 has finally given me the pants kick that I needed. Gotham Academy #1 throws us right into the first day at the Academy for Maps Mizoguchi, who happens to be the younger sister of the guy that our (seemingly) lead character, Olive Silverlock, has been dating. The first few pages in particular, but generally the whole issue, reminded me of Gotham's version of Hogwarts... complete with its own Filch in the form of Headmaster Hammer...
Right off the bat, my three stars goes to character Maps, she's the only character in this first issue who was both interesting and had a personality while everyone else is rather forgettable including main character Olive Silverlock. Olive turned out to be another generic boring emo character. I wish Maps was the main character instead of Olive.As for the story it was okay, nothing really happened in it. I know this series is aimed towards tween/teen girls but the writers could at least have so...
A strong start to a wonderful all-ages series! Looking forward to the next issue!The characters are intriguing, the mysteries unfold with great suspense and the exposition is handled in a really natural way.The art is beautiful as well. It has an animated movie feel, with the detail of Ghibli-esque backgrounds.Bonus points for an appearance by Bruce Wayne.
Will review after first arc, notes below:1) love the different tone DC is going with this series. 2) art is AMAZOMG (intention spelling), beautiful framing, wonderful line work and the colors my god3) interesting characters that I hope to learn more about4) great tone5) great start.
Really enjoyed this!!I really enjoyed this comic!! can't wait till the next one comes out!! I just wish they were even longer!!
This looks to be a great start to a fun series. The characters and art are really gorgeous. The color schemes are nice and moody (like anything in Gotham should be). I love the idea of following a story about young girls (and boys) in a moody academy dorm story trying to solve mysteries in the Batman universe. It's not quite clear if this will leave up to that expectation. The first comic can also be a little confusing. Like you missed an introduction or something considering the main character
This was a cute story of what I have no idea. I'm not even positive at this point what it actually has to do with Gotham other than it's a familiar setting to attract interest. I'm hoping there's more of a back story, which they seem to hint at, but other than that I know nothing going into this. Why does Kyle look like he's ready to work at the local burger place in every panel?The story is interesting enough, and the main girl not the one I expected to be the main girl, which I think makes it
