Media Reviews
A little bit CW television series and a little bit Harry Potter, with a wee touch of manga-inspired storytelling. While that might all sound like an awful mix to some, Gotham Academy actually turns out to be a really fun and charming book. --Nerdist.com

As it turns out, it's spooky, weird and like nothing DC Comics has ever released before. -- MTV News

Slick, charming, and, dare we say it, fun. Each turn of the page pulling you further into the book's beautifully imaginative world. --IGN

The book is quirky and cute, a Scooby Doo mystery wrapped in an anime shell and served with teenage angst on the side. --Newsarama

This series is so fun and inventive that it's hard to not love it. Cloonan, Fletcher and Kerschl understand how to make good -- no, great comics. --Comic Book Resources
