Gotham Academy: Second Semester #2

Karl Kerschl's cover for this December 2016 issue of Gotham Academy: Second Semester captures the school's young detective club in a wonderfully dynamic pose — four students striking confident, action-ready stances atop what looks like a rooftop ledge, while a fifth crouches below with a flashlight trained upward into the warm, hazy green light. The mix of school uniforms, determined expressions, and that sense of a mystery just around the corner makes this exactly the kind of youthful adventure energy the series does so well. With a creative team that includes writers Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan, and Karl Kerschl alongside artists Adam Archer and MSassyK, "Second Semester Part 2" looks like a great time to be enrolled at Gotham Academy.
