Gotham Academy: First Year #2

Two students in Gotham Academy uniforms lie side by side on the ground, eyes closed and glowing faintly red, a die clutched between them — a quietly striking image that sets a mysterious, intimate tone for this 2026 miniseries revisiting the school's early days. The speech bubbles exchanged between them ("Roll a 20 and we're bonded forever" / "Pretty sure that already happened") hint at a friendship forged under unusual circumstances, rendered with real warmth in Karl Kerschl's cover art. With Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, and Karl Kerschl co-writing and Marco Ferrari and Eva de la Cruz handling interior art and color, Gotham Academy: First Year #2 looks like a compelling blend of friendship, mystery, and that signature Gotham strangeness.
