Gotham Academy: First Year #1 Official Synopsis:
THE SCHOOL HAS SECRETS. SO DOES SHE. IT’S GOING GREAT.
Olive Silverlock has a problem, and it is shaped like Gotham’s favorite hero: Batman. He “saved” her when her mom lost control and got Commissioner Gordon to pawn her off on Bruce Wayne, who promptly shuffled her off to Gotham Academy. Boarding school. With a bunch of awful rich kids! As if she wasn’t traumatized enough already!
How will Olive navigate her trauma as a new student? Who will she share her first kiss with? And… why are the existing fans talking so much about maps?
Fall in love with the fan-favorite characters all over again in this revealing prequel taking readers back to Gotham Academy! Artist Marco Ferrari joins the original team as we return to the hallowed halls for even more mystery, romance, and teen drama. Guaranteed to delight fans of the original series and introduce new readers to the lovable cast; don’t miss the year it all began!
