Gotham Academy: Endgame #1

Two Gotham Academy students — one white-haired and defiant, the other wide-eyed with fear — crouch at the center of Joy Ang's cover while a ring of grinning, wild-eyed figures closes in around them from the shadows. The tension is palpable: whatever has gripped Gotham in its "Endgame" has very much reached the school's hallways. This 2015 New 52 one-shot brings together an impressive creative ensemble — Cloonan, Fletcher, and a roster of writer-artists including Brosgol, Chiang, and Ang — for what "Joker Jitters" promises to be a genuinely unsettling chapter in the Academy's story.
