Gotham Academy

At the cusp of DC Rebirth, Gotham Academy (2016–2017) from Panini Deutschland collects the quirky, teen-centered adventures of the students at Gotham City’s most prestigious school. Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher with art by Karl Kerschl and Mingjue Helen Chen, this three-issue series focuses on the mysteries and friendships within the academy’s halls, offering a lighter, character-driven corner of the Batman mythos. It’s a charming, self-contained snapshot of youthful investigation and gothic atmosphere, perfect for readers who want a break from caped crusading.
