Gotham Academy Vol. 2: Calamity
Gotham Academy Vol. 2: Calamity | Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher
The sensational award-winning series continues and welcomes the academys newest transfer, Damian Wayne, as writers Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher team with artists Karl Kerschl and Mingjue Helen Chen. At the beginning of the term, Olive Silverlock returned to Gotham Academy as a shadow of her former self. But thanks to her new friends and their Detective Club sleuthing, Olive was finally starting to feel whole again. But now, Olive is seeing ghosts. A spectral, robed figure is haunting the Academy-and haunting Olive in particular, appearing to her and giving sinister instructions. Could this spirit be the key to unlocking the secrets of her familys dark past? Or is Olive simply losing her grip on reality? Collects GOTHAM ACADEMY #7-12 and DC SNEAK PEEK: GOTHAM ACADEMY #1.

I was so confused starting this volume a few years after reading the first but a quick re-read of vol 1 made for an easy transition into Maps's epic poem 😂 this series is creepy and quirky enough to feel satisfying even though i think I'm missing a connection to the greater DC universe (re: Arkham escapees?) Maps continues to be everything i wanted in a grade school bff 😍 #mommyreads #DC #comics

This was great, though I am a little confused about the ending. Maps is still my favorite character. She makes me laugh out loud!

Fun second volume of the series. More supernatural creatures, including a werewolf and a half bat half boy (not to be confused with Batman). I enjoy reading this series and plan on continuing it.

Today's lunch break book. I can't say I'm loving these comics, but they're a fun, easy read. I've got a few students I think will enjoy them.

MarriedtoMrT I liked the first a lot more than the second. I‘ve had the third for about nine months but have yet to read it. 🤷‍♀️ 6y

I finally found time to read some of the comics I checked weeks ago. This volume was just as enjoyable as the first. It was nice to see more longstanding Batman characters make appearances. I'm eager to see what'll happen in volume 3. #comics

BillBlume Glad to hear this. I fell in love with volume 1, and this is on my TBR. 7y
Chelsibno @BillBlume I was so excited when I saw my library got this volume in. I loved volume one so much! 7y

Olive's backstory progresses, more mysteries and thrilling action scenes, plus new characters introduce themselves with fun connections to the Gotham we thought we knew. Fun stuff! Love the dark art. And now going in search of book 3!

A definite pick but it didn't seem as strong as the first to me. I wasn't in love with the beginning -- the foreshadow then the solely Maps and Damian story. I liked it but I wish the placement in the timeline was different. Also, the last story felt rushed and abrupt. Still, I'm looking forward to more mysteries and watching Olive figure out her family secrets.

4 ⭐️. Y'all - I am officially old. Because even though I super love the art in this series, LOOK AT THAT SKIRT. It is a *school uinform* skirt. Can we talk about how Olive can possibly sit down in that thing?! It's not the only instance. I really dig this series, but COME ON. Can we not?

Aside from that annoyance, I really enjoyed this. Loving the Scooby Gang vibe. Maps is the best. Looking forward to the Lumberjanes crossover!

Weaponxgirl I always wonder how they sit down in comics too! 7y
LizzyM 😂I am old, too. Plus I think that about a lot of skirts a lot longer than that!😳🤔🙄😜 7y
Chessa @LizzyM @Weaponxgirl Right?! I mean, I'm totally supportive of whatever a woman wants to wear. But the *uniform* aspect of it creeps em out - like are there choices or is this the only option? They're in high school! The uniform makes it seem like forced sexualization instead of a teen expressing their own sexuality/clothing preferences. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much. But it does make me raise an eyebrow. And wonder how cold her butt is. (edited) 7y

Another great volume for this series! I'm interested in the mystery surrounding Olive's family and I love all the other little mysteries that they talk about but aren't the priority. It gives the reader the idea that there is a lot to this world and this set of friends. Maps is definitely my favorite and I love her song at the beginning.
Lota of fun!

Much of the charm from volume one is back but it's obscured by poor plotting and terrible panel transitions. Damian Wayne, who was introduced so dramatically at the end of the first volume, is just as dramatically dismissed in this one. Confusing panels, poorly paced action, and a muddled plot all contribute to this volume being pretty poor. It manages to come together in the end, but I worry about future volumes.

This trade collects issues 7-12 of Gotham Academy. In this collection, Olive learns more about her mom and her family. The friendships and detective club are some of my favorite aspects of this series. This is a great series and a lot of fun. I highly recommend it. Cannot wait to read more.

If you loved Lumberjanes and are looking for what to read next, Gotham Academy is for you! A super lovable band of teenage characters in a spooky, Hogwartsish atmosphere solving supernatural mysteries. You don't need to have any prior knowledge about the DC Universe, it stands alone. SO GOOD!

Vol. 2 was even more intriguing than the first! Again, I'm in love with the art and with the mystery that drives Olive's story forward - but most of all, I love Maps and the friendship she and Olive share!
