3.5 STARS!
Not as good as the first but I liked that we got to know a lot more about Olive's mom and more about Olive herself. Looking forward to Vol. 3 :)

Whilst I still absolutely adored this, I didn't love it as much as I loved Volume 1. I feel like it was missing some of the elements that really made me really fall in love with the first volume. I still love all the characters and the art is still perfect, but yeah - it was just missing something? I think it was because there was less focus on the group as a whole and it felt slightly disjointed. I loved seeing the friendship between everyone and it was lacking a little in this. It was still amazing though and I'm excited to see what happens next!

"Five by Five? Five what by five what?"
"That's the thing, no one knows."
Further proof Maps is amazing.
The storylines are even more compelling here than in Volume 1. So much more about Olive's origin story, and even a little bit about Tristan.
BRING ON VOLUME 3. After I get some sleep, anyway.

This series continues to be beautiful and fun, even when the Scooby Doo reveals become extremely predictable.

While the plot does move forward a bit, it didn't reveal as much as I thought it would. Maybe I just don't have the backstory of Calamity to understand what's happening fully. Still loved the characters, but I didn't like this volume as much as the first. There is some bad shit going on though that the kids don't understand yet.

Not sure this was an improvement on Vol. 1, but had fun parts with Maps and deeper parts with Olive. Liked the Robin cameos. Looked great like the first collection.

When I read the first volume of Gotham Academy, I absolutely loved it. That was one of the rare times where the artwork in a comic book had just as much to do with my loving it as the writing--possibly more so in that case. The artwork remains amazing in this second volume of the series. The writing wasn't as strong this time around, but that has more to do with the story feeling less self-contained in this volume. You can tell the series is playing a longer game this time, so things don't tie up as neatly in this second volume. I still plan to get volume three in the series. I just hope more of the story gets resolved this time around. I loved that Tim Drake makes an appearance as Red Robin, because he's my favorite character in the "Bat family," but it's such a brief appearance. I wish Tim could have contributed more to that issue.

I really like this series, but it doesn't feel super cohesive and a lot of Batman villains just pop up at random.
Some of the best art in the game, though.
