Gotham Academy: Second Semester #12

The final chapter of "The Ballad of Olive Silverlock" arrives with a cover by Karl Kerschl that says it all in one tender image — two uniformed students locked in a close, emotional embrace, surrounded by swirling flame-like energy, while a small deer-like creature looks on nearby. It's a beautifully intimate note on which to close out Gotham Academy: Second Semester, rendered in Kerschl's warm, muted palette of pinks and purples. Writers Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan, and Karl Kerschl, along with artists Adam Archer and MSassyK, bring their run on Gotham's most mysterious school to a heartfelt conclusion in this October 2017 finale.
