Gotham Academy Vol 2: Calamity
Gotham Academy Vol. 2: Calamity - Brenden Fletcher,Karl Kerschl,Becky Cloonan

I found this volume quite a bit more interesting than the first one but not quite as much fun. It's much more serious, what with Olive's family history  starting to come into play more. The mystery of Olive's family seems central to the plot but her group of curious friends keep the tone a little light-hearted. 

I really enjoy supportive all the friends are. Especially Maps. She has got be my favorite. Her song at the beginning of the first issue in this volume was adorable! They definitely keep a little mystery surrounding some other characters and I hope that their backgrounds get explored further in the following volumes, but for now I'm happy to be digging deeper into what Calamity is all about.

Gotham Academy Volume 1
Gotham Academy Vol. 1 - Brendan Fletcher,Karl Kerschel,Becky Cloonan

I was pleased to find that this series is not about a young version of all our favorite Gotham city heroes and villains. Those stories are fun but it's even better to branch out now that we have so many of them. This story is about Olive and Maps and the crew they assemble.

Loves: nothing is what it seems, Olive's perspectives allows some old characters to be enriched, Olive and her crew, the way they come together, that no one tries to usurp her leadership over the situation, everything that is Maps but especially the nerd girl side, the way they all look a little different, that being hung up on a love interest neither interferes with nor drives the story forward.

Okay, everything. I loved everything about it. Everything that makes me love Lumberjanes, makes me love this. I suppose that's why they did a crossover series! It is now on my TBR.
