I'm so thrilled that Gotham Academy is back! Though we've had other comics to enjoy with these beloved characters such as Gotham Academy / Lumberjanes and Gotham Academy Annual, it was about time we get back to normal. From DC Comics, written by the original Gotham Academy trio, Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan, and Karl Kershl, with art by Adam Archer and […]
Gotham Academy is back and it's so good to see the whole gang on the page again. From DC Comics, Gotham Academy Annual #1, written by Brenden Fletcher and Becky Cloonan, with art by Michael Dialynas, is a rollercoaster of an issue. It comes to us before the start of Gotham Academy: Second Semester, and you won't believe what happens. Here's […]
The internet nearly exploded when Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy was announced, and I was one of those people jumping up and down eager to see how the two worlds collided. The dark twisted world of Gotham Academy is much different from the setting in Lumberjanes, though Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types has its moments. […]

Who else can't wait for Gotham Academy: Second Semester? I know I can't. It's exciting to think about what will be coming next for the colorful cast of characters. Today, artist Karl Kerschl gave us a bit of a hint by revealing the cover to the first issue. Things look pretty tough don't they? After much consideration about Olive's character, […]
I've been waiting for this crossover event to begin with such excitement. As a fan of both Gotham Academy and Lumberjanes, it felt like a match made in comic heaven. However, to most, it may be a mystery how the two could possibly come together smoothly. The dark twisted world of Gotham Academy is much […]
Well, we'll take all we can get, won't we? Ever since the last issue of Gotham Academy, my mind has been yearning for any bit of Gotham Academy: Second Semester I can get. When I found out that Karl Kerschl would be returning as artist, I was beyond thrilled. He was the original artist on the book, and he is brilliant. Earlier […]
I'm a fan of Gotham Academy, yes, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the "Yearbook" storyline. Having different mini-stories throughout the issues truly has enhanced the overall ARC. Gotham Academy #18 written by Brenden Fletcher, Faith Erin Hicks, Natasha Alterici, with art by Annie Wu, Moritat, Hicks, Adam Archer, and Alterici, takes us through some incidents in the past that directly […]
Today brings us the final chapter of Gotham Academy's "Yearbook" ARC as Maps and Olive are put to the test as they try to assemble the perfect yearbook. The result? An issue filled with entertaining variety. In case you weren't aware, Gotham Academy #17 includes three separate tales from different creators, all while Maps and […]
Tomorrow brings the release of Gotham Academy #17, which is also the final chapter of their "Yearbook" ARC. Maps and Olive are put to the test as they try to assemble the perfect yearbook. Much like David Petersen's Mouse Guard Legends of the Guard, this issue will bring together a few different creators to tell […]
The internet nearly exploded when the Lumberjanes Gotham Academy crossover event was announced, and I'm sure it will explode again tomorrow because we get to see some of it! BOOM! Box's Goldie Vance #1 is hitting shelves, and you'll find a preview of Lumberjanes Gotham Academy in the back. This is one of these comics that you just know is going […]

So, yes, Maps lives. And Blue Beetle #1 launching in September after its Rebirth issue. Read more on Bleeding Cool's DC Rebirth coverage here.
DC Comics announced a lot of creative teams for their DC Rebirth initiative. But it seemed that they were missing two. Two that may be very dear to people's hearts. While they said that Justice League Of America and Super Sons would happen, even without mentioning creative teams there was no news of the previously […]
Bleeding Cool was the first site to call that Lumberjanes would be under-estimated by retailers and turn into a hit. We also called BOOM! Box's second success story, Giant Days. Earlier this week, we called your attention to Jonesy doubling its initial orders and selling out in a similar fashion. The new Boom! Box series in […]
The news of the Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy crossover comic has been all the rage this week. In fact, it was trending on Twitter for quite some time. With that exciting news comes a fantastic cover from Gotham Academy's original artist Karl Kerschl. I was a huge fan of Kerschl's art from the beginning taking note of his unique gloomy watercolor-esque style. I […]
It was a nice surprise when I came across the set of tweets below from creator of Mouse Guard David Petersen. I'm a big fan of the DC Comics series Gotham Academy, written by Brenden Fletcher and Becky Cloonan, but I had no idea that David Petersen would be working on some pages. I adore everything David Petersen does, and […]

It's always a good thing when you sit down to read a comic and get so sucked in that you blink and the issue is over. Great writing, unique art, and a cast of characters that feel like family. That's Gotham Academy from DC Comics, written by Brenden Fletcher, and Becky Cloonan, with art by […]
On Wednesday, after the release of issue #12 of Gotham Academy, series artist Karl Kerschl tweeted this: Since then, I've been incredibly concerned. For me, part of the major draw of a series is the art. If I can't get on board with the style, unfortunately it doesn't really matter how great the writing is. […]
