Gotham Academy Vol. 3: Yearbook by Brenden Fletcher

2.0

This volume appears to be a compilation of little stories written by a wide range of authors done by a wide range of artists. The whole thing is strung together as vignettes that Maps has collected & compiled into a personal yearbook (hence the title). It's definitely disjointed and a few stories are hard to follow. The book wraps up with a story that again highlights the headmaster's inability to hire non-villainous professors.

SpoilerProfessor Powers is a time travelling radioactive skeleton who is out to kill one of the students because the kid's son is the one that causes Powers to become radioactive.


Fine for kids, and my girls loved these, but I'm not sure how engaging these will be for adults, especially if you aren't knowledgeable of the Batman universe. I DO like how there are so many characters that are girls. Boys take a back seat in being the problem solvers in these books. It's refreshing.
