And that's all, folks. Final issue felt a little bit rushed, but I liked that everyone played a role, and Maps stepped up her superhero game. Also worth highlighting that >>94536323 parallels a page from issue 1, so that's pretty cool.

Whether you were around for the storytimes or just checked out this issue, thanks for enjoying Gotham Academy with me. Let's hope that the "for now" part is true.

>>94536356
Thanks a lot OP. It did seem rushed, but it tied up everything. There seems a lot of goodwill behind it both from the fans and at DC, so hopefully that amounts to something.

>Blue and Yellow colour scheme
>Shield Icon/Motif

Probably not intentional, but i'm reminded of The Guardian here.

>>94536794
There's some great concept art in the trade of volume 1 for Maps as Robin.

>>94536334
comfy end

I'd like to see more with them eventually, but you just know they'll be used as cheap fodder to be killed off.

I would like to see Eric appear in Arkham Asylum 2, which is set in the Batman #666 future, to see what Morrison would do with somebody whose 'gimmick' is Sigils.

>>94536827
Im sure the main DC twitter re-tweeted that once.

Here's the page from Issue 1 this is a callback to. The shift in tone is pretty obvious.

>>94536181
> we will never have Maps Robin.
> It'll always be Duke. Duke. Duke. Duke.

Why must we suffer?

>>94537903
It wont always be Duke. Once Snyder moves on some other writer will force their OC.

>>94537594
I never figured out what Colton was doing in this picture.

>>94538822
Possibly waking himself up after a night making what are totally not drugs by forcing his eyelids open.

>>94538822
Wasn't there an abuse speculation or subplot hinted at one point? I can't remember shit about Colton honestly.

>>94538822
I think he's nursing a cut under his eye. He talks about having a really shitty home life and I think alludes to his father beating him? So since they're just coming back from the summer, I think that's the implication.

And I'm just now realizing that's why he wears sunglasses all the time. Damn.

Alright, so can i expect an HC sometime next year?

>>94536078
Sad to see it go.

>>94539448
It seems a book that will do well in trades, so yes.

>>94536323
>>94537594
it's a really nice callback but man the lost of kerschl on interiors just hit this book hard. adam archer just kept replicating the style poorly and the colorist couldn't salvage it

>>94541160
The book really suffered for losing Kerschl and the atmosphere he and the colourist were able to produce together. Archer is pretty dependant on a good inker to come out well.
