    Yeah, it's not a plot twist I think was very enjoyable. Hopefully it will be over, but the cover for #9, with Olive burned out of the friend picture, is not promising.

    C'mon, Fletcher, let's have Maps be a main character again! Have it be fun and heartwarming! Don't try to do Fight Club with kids!

    well, Issue 7 was way better than I expected

    So there is a double twist in the issue
    First is the one everybody who came to this thread knew already, Amy isnt real
    but the second twist is even better, she is "possibly" a ghost of Amity Arkham who is and ancestor of Olive, making her related to the Arkham bloodline
    AND Tieing the entire fucking plot in a goddamn ribbon that I really love

    So, pretty sure no one here saw that one coming

    The idea is brilliant and the execution on this chp is great
    does this redeem the last 6 issues of the book? Fck No!

    here is the biggest problem that the book has always had: Pacing, this entire arc should had been 3 issues, maybe 4. Issue 3 with the whole witch club thing really didnt go anywhere and issue 4 with the Circus issue while enjoyable was pretty much a filler, this Kills the momentum of the story, maybe this will be more enjoyable for people to read as a trade and putting chp 3-4 into separate section.

    I will do say something good about this for of pacing though, it works great for a TV series and an animated version of these might actually pull it off greatly.

    if someone read this thread after leaving the book, issues 6-7 is definitely the point to comeback. I really hope it picks up and improves from here on.

    I can't wait for the next issue, shame it is over 2 weeks away still. This issue seems to be what gotham academy has been building to since #1 of the original series, just look at how early the "two sweet As" appeared of Amity Arkham.

    Calamity having a split personality was also mentioned in the first series,

    He still treats people badly, though.

    I hope that GA is not cancelled, as the fall trade solicits say #4 and #9-12, which seems kinda small. Hopefully it just means a new arc is starting #13 and that the trade is just short.

    5 issues isn't that small. Tom King's Batman arcs are all 5 issues so far.

    However, I'm really struggling to see how DC will justify keeping GA going with these sales...

    I don't follow sales numbers. Are they really bad for Gotham Academy?

    And wasn't there... I felt like I read somewhere that the book had struck a deal with Scholastic to put out (or distribute, or something) the GA trades.

    Would that affect cancellation at all?

    Last issue sold a bit over 8k. That's significantly less than half of what gets most series get cancelled. (Jeeze. I'd forgotten just how few it was selling.)

    The Scholastic deal and the demographic are pretty good selling points - but still. They've gotten two years out of this series.
