Gotham Academy, Volume 1

The mix of a classic school environment with the darker, mysterious elements really drew me in. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this blend from the start or if it developed during writing.

The story juggles spooky secrets and everyday teen drama, but sometimes it felt like one overshadowed the other. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on how well it worked.

The illustrations really set the tone, especially in the darker scenes. I'm curious whether the artist aimed to evoke a certain mood or if it was a collaborative decision.
