Gotham Academy Vol. 3: Yearbook by Brenden Fletcher
3.0
This felt like the weakest instalment of the three for a few different reasons. This volume is full of a bunch of short stories thrown together of a "yearbook" that Maps writes up for herself of all the adventures their Detective Club has. While the stories themselves were individually cute/funny/creepy, all together it was just a bit tedious. It was cool seeing all the different art styles for each story, although it did get jarring occasionally.
To top it all off, the volume seemed to be starting with a mysterious, huge situation, and then is never mentioned again. I spent the entire volume anticipating more plot, and instead got more filler stories, which resulted in disappointment overall.
I'm all for filler stories, but only if I know there'll be more plot later. Knowing the series is discontinued after Second Semester made this particular volume a flop.
Overall: 3.5/5
