So I was thinking, now that clayface has reformed in Detective comics(please don't turn him back Tynion), he should meet Katherine as it could be a really great character moment.
EDIT: To quote Maps "oh my cr*p", that last issue was absolutely amazing!!!!!! I have begun to come to grips with the fact that Gotham academy is ending and have binge read the core story (1-6, 8-12, SS1-3, SS 5-present) and I think I will enjoy how it comes full circle. The tiny hints about the Silverlock and Arkham past which have been placed since the beginning of the book are stunning, and i realised the tree which Pomeline's cult was based is likely the tree Amity was burnt and that in that scene Pom is saying the chant Bookworm said last issue and that is probably why Olive burnt their cult hideout because it released Amity!!! and how the first page of the first and second semester are the same just seasonal and and and(!!!) how Kyle said he would never let Olive go and would never let anyone take her and there is so much more.

So I am putting this in spoilers as I just found an interview with Brenden Fletcher where he says that Katherine would be joining a club headed up by Headmaster Hammer. Now in #8 it says Hammerhead was dealing with other students on his "list."Is Katherine on this list and will there be a reveal of Hammer's team, if so who is on it? My guesses
Katherine
Tristan (BTW, did he leave the Academy last issue, or was it just students? Maps did say the detective club were the only people who did not leave)
Eric
Olive

So, this weeks Gotham Academy was pretty solid - a firm focus on the best character, Maps, with actual hard choices she must make. I think the whole thing is a little forced, and am not super happy that villains are still too easily taken out (I get that this is for kids, and you don't want to put normal, non-assassin-trained kids in mortal peril, but I think you should use less lethal villains than Two-Face then), but this is shaping up to be a nice ending. I just hope that we get some nice epilogue stuff in the final issue, not just "here's the end climactic fight thing and one page of the end." Art was very nice, as usual.

Wow, that issue was nice but was a bit of a deviation from the main plot which is surprising in the penultimate issue.
I just reread all of second semester and realised how well this book is written so loose plot threads and hints culminate together near the end.
Anyone else irritated by Colton's "y'all"s now since he is using them when it does not even make sense.

I dunno if I'd say it's a deviation from the main plot. The main plot, to me, is Olive and Maps's relationship, and this issue finally got that back on track.

Yeah, my phrasing was off as it wasn't really a deviation just that it felt too elongated- It was fun and a good Damian and Maps story but regarding the book is ending it could have and probobly should have taken half the time and featuring more Olive. It was a nice coming of age story though slightly for Maps.

I realised the pairing of colton and Pomeline is great ( and that they keep reusing it) - it works so well.
Also Pom and Tristan.
