Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz
5.0
* I was sent an advanced copy from DC Comics
Wow, I ADORED this graphic novel and it is now definitely a new favorite of mine! I was immediately captivated by Thomas Pitilli’s art work and the color scheme! I also really enjoyed the box setups and the flow, I found it really easy to follow along!
Gotham High is pitched to be a Gossip Girl meets Riverdale meets DC characters and it honestly truly had all of those vibes! Selena’s commentary and the tech gave me the Gossip Girl vibes I was hoping for and the mystery revolving around the whole novel was Riverdale worthy but the best part was seeing high school aged Batman, Catwoman and The Joker and seeing Cruz’s take on their origins!
What I enjoyed most besides the beautiful artwork and witty commentary was the fresh, diverse take on the Gotham world. Melissa De La Cruz took something that has multiple storylines on multiple platforms and made it feel new and fresh! I also really loved Selina, she’s fierce and is undoubtedly loyal to her family above all else.
I devoured this novel in under an hour! I do hope that there’s a bit more action and adventure in the next ones, but overall I loved this graphic novel and can’t wait to see what happens next!
