DC Comics (DCU: Batman)
Gotham Academy ($2.99, monthly)
It's already September, and many Batman fans antcipate several new Bat-centric titles to hit stands in the coming weeks. One such book is Gotham Academy, which releases in October. The creative team of Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher and Carl Kerschler will helm the series. It will mix both mystery and charm as the story follows the misadventures of several students at the prestigious school. Some readers may protest the number of Bat-centric books there are, including this reviewer, noting that the Bat-family is a large one indeed. With Arham Manor and Gotham by NIght also slated to release in October and November respectively, how many Bat books should there be, right?
I currently do not have any Batman titles on my pull-list. So my question is, "Should Gotham Academy find a place on my pull-list?" I'm very interested in this particular book because it will feature an element of the Gotham universe that hasn't been explored. I think it's cool that kids will be the main protagonists in the stories. Additionally, the book is $2.99, but with the discount through my local comic shop, the cost will be $1.95. Not bad. However, it replaces another $2.99 book from my subscriptions: Aquaman. Here's a taste of how many Bat books there actually are as made available by G-Mart Comics on their website (http:\\www.g-mart.com). This is the November pre-orders list. The above panel is from Karl Kerschler's Tumblr page.
